• The 31st Busan International Film Festival... Open talk for 'Possible Love'

Actor Seol Kyung-gu revealed that he received a lot of teasing for crying profusely at Venice.

On the afternoon of the 7th, an open talk event for the 31st Busan International Film Festival was held at the Cinema Hall in Haeundae-gu, Busan, where the team behind the film 'Possible Love' (directed by Lee Chang-dong) gathered to meet film fans in Busan. The open talk featured Jeon Do-yeon, Seol Kyung-gu, Jo In-sung, Jo Ye-jeong, and director Lee Chang-dong.

'Possible Love' is a story about two couples—a laid-off worker and his wife, and a documentary director and her husband—who meet to produce a documentary and confront their different lives and hidden desires. 'Possible Love,' which marks director Lee Chang-dong's new work after eight years, attracted the attention of film fans worldwide through the collaboration of top-tier actors including Jeon Do-yeon, Seol Kyung-gu, Jo In-sung, and Jo Ye-jeong. The film was honored with the Silver Lion for Best Director at the 83rd Venice Film Festival last month.

When 'Possible Love' was screened at the Venice International Film Festival, the sight of the actors crying after the film ended became a topic of conversation. In particular, Seol Kyung-gu shed a storm of tears.

Seol Kyung-gu said, "I got teased a lot (for crying). I watched the movie for the second time at that moment. I had seen it in Korea and then went to Venice to watch it again, but that was when I truly saw it properly. As the film ended, an inner sorrow welled up, and my tears burst out." He added, "It was less embarrassing because Jo In-sung was crying with me. When I looked to the side, Ye-jeong was crying, the screenwriter was crying, and Jeon Do-yeon wanted to cry but missed her chance, so she was just overwhelmed."

Jo In-sung added, "I also felt my emotions synchronize with the feelings evoked by Seol Kyung-gu's tears. Seeing Seol Kyung-gu made me want to cry, so I tried not to look at him, but when I looked to the side, Ye-jeong was crying too."

Director Lee Chang-dong joked, "It is neither common nor a pleasant sight for actors to cry like that during the curtain call time after the film ends," and said, "I greeted them while wondering why they were crying so much."

Meanwhile, this year's Busan International Film Festival will be held in various parts of Busan until the 15th.
