Actor Moon Sang-min is expanding his influence to the movie industry and the global stage following the small screen.
The movie "Pavanne" (director Lee Jong-pil), starring Moon Sang-min, entered the top of the global rankings with word of mouth from domestic and foreign audiences, accelerating the global box office. At the center is Moon Sang-min's unrestricted acting transformation, which has completely transformed from a dignified army of KBS 2TV's "Dear Bandit" (script Lee Sun, director Ham Young-gul) to a simple young man of "Pavanne."
In "Pavanne," Moon Sang-min played Kyung-rok, a young man who gave up his dream and endured the weight of reality, showing deep and cool eyes and realistic life acting that he had never shown before. In his previous work, "My Dear Bandit," he was fascinated by Dowoldaegun's Lee Yeol, who was heading straight toward love, but this time, he is drawing sympathy from audiences around the world with his youth's natural face that has removed the splendor.
In fact, "Pavanne" started seventh in the non-English language film category with 2 million viewers (view time divided by the total running time of the work) in three days of Netflix's release, and ranked fourth in the global top 10 non-English film category with 3.3 million viewers in the second week of its release.

This rise in the global ranking of "Pavanne" proves Moon Sang-min's value as an icon of "K-Youth." Moon Sang-min, who has promoted the charm of historical dramas through "Shroop" and established himself as the next-generation Rocco lead through "Wedding Impossible" and "Cinderella at 2 a.m., succeeded in delivering a message of healing and growth that transcends the barriers of genre and language through this film.
Moon Sang-min also showed the aspect of "hexagonal male character" by delicately expressing the solitude and wounds of the characters in the play in Pavane, which was released immediately after the broadcast of "My Dear Bandit," which was praised for its full acting ability by perfectly digesting the unconventional setting of soul change.
Moon Sang-min has captured the hearts of global viewers beyond the small screen. Moon Sang-min, who captured both rabbits, "Dear Bandit" and "Pavanne," is drawing attention to his future moves.
