ATEEZ's Hongjoong made a successful debut as a music director.

Hongjoong attended the 27th Jeonju International Film Festival held at CGV Jeonju on the 7th, where he met fans through a GV (Q&A with the audience) event for the film "Hallucination."

"Hallucination" is a work depicting a fashion editor named Lapi, who lives like an AI, granting personality to an AI called Call and falling in love. The film received attention as it was specially screened in the largest venue at this year's festival.

The Jeonju International Film Festival is a non-competitive festival that introduces alternative trends in contemporary film art, independent films, and works at the forefront of artistic cinema. Hongjoong attended as the main music director for "Hallucination," adding brilliance to the event.

Hongjoong was responsible for composing and producing "Bleeding Light," written from the perspective of the protagonist Lapi, who begins to feel emotions that an AI should not feel, and "Nothing Left," which sings about the fundamental discomfort inherent in the work. Notably, Hongjoong also participated in the vocals for "Nothing Left," leaving a strong impression by adding a lingering depth to the film's ending.

During the GV held immediately after the screening, Hongjoong engaged in active communication with the audience, directly introducing the music from a close distance, answering questions, and sharing stories related to the work, creating a meaningful time.

Hongjoong stated, "It is an honor to have participated as a music director for a film on such a good opportunity. It was a very meaningful project. Watching the process of my composed music and newly created sounds filling the film gave me great inspiration. I hope Korean independent films reach more people, and I want to continue creating new works in various ways in the future."

Previously, Hongjoong was selected as a global ambassador for the World Vision campaign "Global 6K for Water" and also served as an "Honorary Falconer" at an LAFC match held at the LA BMO Stadium. As Hongjoong continues to make active contributions across various fields, expectations are high for his future endeavors.

Meanwhile, "Hallucination," in which Hongjoong participated as a music director, has garnered significant attention as his brother, Beomjoong, stars as the protagonist.
