On April 30, Choi Myung-bin attended the opening ceremony for her film “Sua’s Home”, which was officially invited to the 26th Jeonju International Film Festival. She captivated onlookers on the red carpet with her Audrey Hepburn–inspired hairstyle and elegant black dress.
On May 2 and 4, she also met with audiences through a GV (Guest Visit) and Jeonju Talk Talk event. With her signature bright energy, Choi uplifted the atmosphere and introduced her character Young-seon as “a sharp and confident girl who was abandoned by her parents but remains mature and self-assured”, drawing viewers into her performance.
She said, “Young-seon ends up living at Sua’s (played by Moon Seung-ah) house through tennis. Seeing Sua, who has much more than she does, she felt envious and wondered, ‘What if I were in Sua’s position?’ That thought helped me immerse myself deeper into the character.”
She added, “Eventually, I even started to feel sorry for Sua. Though she seemed to have everything, when I looked closely, she had her own struggles too. Thanks to that, I was able to approach the role with a range of complex emotions.”
Choi Myung-bin brought dimension to her role through her sincere reflections, enhancing her presence at the festival.
“Sua’s Home” tells the story of Young-seon, a girl abandoned by her adoptive parents, who temporarily stays with the family of her tennis partner Sua and longs to become a real part of their family. Choi delivered a powerful performance, delicately expressing Young-seon’s emotional instability and yearning, leaving a deep impression on viewers. The film’s ending drew warm applause from the audience at Jeonju.
Additionally, Choi’s other leading film “Sisterhood” was officially invited to the 29th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival and selected for this year’s Cannes Film Festival’s Fantastic 7.
Meanwhile, Choi Myung-bin is currently preparing for the official releases of both “Sua’s Home” and “Sisterhood”.
