Jeon Do-yeon and Seol Kyung-gu, who reunited as a married couple in the film "Possible Love," displayed a friendly chemistry through their playful banter, eliciting laughter from the audience.

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 "Possible Love" (directed by Lee Chang-dong) gathered to meet film fans in Busan. Jeon Do-yeon, Seol Kyung-gu, Jo In-sung, Cho Yeo-jeong, and director Lee Chang-dong attended the open talk that day.

"Possible Love" tells the story of a laid-off worker and his wife, as well as a documentary director and her husband, who meet to produce a documentary and confront their different lives and hidden desires. "Possible Love" is director Lee Chang-dong's new work after an eight-year hiatus, and it has drawn attention from film fans worldwide due to the collaboration of major Han Min-guk-eul (CEO) actors including Jeon Do-yeon, Seol Kyung-gu, Jo In-sung, and Cho Yeo-jeong. The film received the honor of winning the Silver Lion – Jury Won Dae-sang-eul (수상) at the 83rd Venice Film Festival last month.

Regarding the chemistry among the actors, Jeon Do-yeon said, "Because I worked with director Lee Chang-dong on 'Milyang' before, I had an idea of what the atmosphere on set would be like. But this time, it was truly enjoyable and happy. I have done several projects with Mr. Seol Kyung-gu. However, since we are both blunt people, there was absolutely no consideration for each other or anything like that. (Seol Kyung-gu) is the most selfish person I know, someone who only cares about himself," she said with a laugh. Jeon Do-yeon added, "Ah, maybe 'the most' is not accurate. But when Ms. Cho Yeo-jeong and Mr. Jo In-sung came, they were so considerate, attentive, and warm. It was such a healing set that I wondered if it was okay to be like this. When I thought about why it was that way, it was all thanks to those two people. I was truly grateful."

In response, Seol Kyung-gu tried to explain himself while holding the microphone nearby, but Jeon Do-yeon joked, "Put it down, please put it down," livening up the atmosphere.

Jeon Do-yeon added, "So when Ms. Cho Yeo-jeong and Mr. Jo In-sung went back to Seoul after filming ended, I would say, 'Two gentle people have left, and only two blunt people remain.' It seems we filmed while receiving the most positive energy."

Then Seol Kyung-gu said, "I actually disliked Mr. Jo In-sung and Ms. Cho Yeo-jeong. They were so considerate and gentlemanly that I got scolded more by Ms. Jeon Do-yeong. Two people like Jo In-sung and Cho Yeo-jeong are rarer. There are many people like me." He continued, "Even on the red carpet, I just walked forward, but when I looked back, Jo In-sung was escorting two women on either side of him. So I don't really like these two actors," he quipped, drawing laughter.

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