The new film "My Name," directed by master Jung Ji-young and starring actress Yeom Hye-ran, was invited to this year's Berlin International Film Festival. It is a drama of healing and growth that goes beyond Jeju's pain against the backdrop of the movie "My Name" 4.3, which is all the more meaningful in that it is the first Korean film to be invited to the overseas film festival in 2026.

The film "My Name" was officially invited to the "Forum" section of the 76th Berlin International Film Festival, which will be held in Berlin, Germany for 10 days from the 12th of next month. The Forum section is a section that presents movies with original and challenging colors. The 2024 film "The Tomb" has been invited to the same category.

The official invitation to the Berlin International Film Festival is significant in that the unwavering cinematic quality of director Jeong Ji-young, who has sharply insighted the backside of society such as "Broken Arrow," "Namyeong-dong 1985" and "Boys," and actor Yeom Hye-ran, who has recently won the top share price, have received worldwide recognition.

The Berlin Film Festival described "My Name" as a work that delicately illuminates the trauma left by tragic history beyond generations and evokes the importance of breaking long silence. He also mentioned that it is meaningful to present the film as a world premiere in the forum section, which has consistently introduced meaningful Korean films, as a work that conveys strong emotional resonance through elaborately constructed narratives.

The movie "My Name" is a generational empathy mystery drama about an 18-year-old boy who wants to abandon a name that doesn't fit him, a fishbow who must keep the name, and a journey to find the promise of the day 50 years ago behind the name. In particular, Yeom Hye-ran will show her overwhelming presence as the main character who leads the narrative of the work by raising Arder alone and facing the truth in lost memories.

The film My Name won the Jeju 4.3 Peace Foundation Screenplay Grand Prize from the planning stage, proving its strong power of the screenplay, and was produced with voluntary support from numerous people, including Jeju residents, adding to its authenticity. The production team said, "We are happy to be recognized for the authenticity of the work through the invitation of the Berlin International Film Festival," adding, "We will visit the audience with a 'trust and watch' film completed with director Jeong Ji-young's cinematic quality, Berlin's choice, and the sincerity of Jeju residents."

Meanwhile, My Name is scheduled to meet Korean audiences in theaters across the country in April 2026.
