At the opening ceremony for the Busan International Film Festival actor Lee Si-eon had some choice remarks for the city as a waypoint for film professionals.
He mentioned filming "Tough as Iron" with actor Yoo Ah-in back in 2013, and talked about how he still felt a bit separate from the proceedings even as her participated in them since he attended the very first Busan International Film Festival as a high school student some twenty three years ago.
Lee Si-eon mentioned this ceremony as feeling more different still, since this time he's coming to the festival as a star, specifically of the movie "Killed my Wife", which will have its first screenings here. He promised to do his best to return to the red carpet again one day. The Busan International Film Festival will run until October 12th.
