On the afternoon of the 13th, the press and distribution premiere of the Japanese movie 'National Treasure' (directed by Lee Sang-il) was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Lee Sang-il, a Korean director in Japan, attended the premiere.
Director Lee Sang-il, who presented 'National Treasure' at the American Academy Awards in March next year as the representative of Japanese films, said "Kabuki is a representative traditional Japanese art. Even if the world does not know about Kabuki, it will have an image of Kabuki. And there is empathy for human dramas. I think that not only Japan but the whole world will be interested in building their skills by risking their lives on various kinds of art" expressed confidence.
A film of novelist Shuichi Yoshida's novel of the same name, 'National Treasure' is a painting of Kabuki actor's half-life until he blossomed his talent and was selected as a human national treasure. Yoshizawa Ryo, Yokohama Ryusei, Takahata Mitsuki, Terajima Shinobu, Morinana, Kurokawa Soya, Watanabe Ken, and director Lee Sang-il of 'Hula Girls'The Evil'The Unforgiven' got the megaphone. 'National Treasure', which was released in Japan on June 6, will be released in Korea on the 19th.
