With the opening of the Berlin International Film Festival this year, Korean filmmakers, including director Hong Sang-soo, will head to Berlin.

The 76th Berlin International Film Festival will open on the 12th (local time). This year, three feature films and one short film were invited by Berlin. No work has entered the main competition category.

Director Hong Sang-soo's new film "The Day She Returns" will meet the audience at the Panorama section of this year's Berlin International Film Festival. Director Hong Sang-soo will visit Berlin for the seventh consecutive year through this work. With partner Kim Min-hee giving birth to a son after visiting the Berlin International Film Festival last year, director Hong Sang-soo visited Berlin again. Kim Min-hee also joined the film as a production director.

"The Day She Returns" is a work with Song Sun-mi, Cho Yoon-hee, Park Mi-so, Ha Sung-guk, Shin Seok-ho, Kim Sun-jin, Oh Yoon-soo, and Kang So-yi, who have appeared in many of Hong Sang-soo's previous works. The Berlin International Film Festival said, "This film is a delicately and beautifully observed film with strong compassion and humor, especially controlling the 'epic' related to the perception of women and fame, and contains an exploration of living in the public gaze. It is elegantly made and offers numerous cinematic pleasures. Song Sun-mi's performance is intense."

Directed by Jung Ji-young and starring Yeom Hye-ran, My Name was invited to the forum section. "My Name" is a work based on the Jeju April 3 incident, and Yeom Hye-ran leads the work by playing the role of Eomung, who raises Arder alone and faces the truth in his lost memory.

Director Yoo Jae-in's full-length debut "The Road to Erase" was invited to the Generation category. The film depicts Yoon Ji, a high school student who had a secret relationship with her homeroom teacher, on her journey to purchase illegal abortion pills. New director Oh Ji-in's graduation work "Tppidi" was named as an invitation to compete for short stories in the generation category.

Meanwhile, the 76th Berlin Film Festival will open on the 12th and be held in Berlin, Germany until the 22nd.
