While the Korean film industry is gaining momentum on the global stage with “Parasite” and “Minari,” it has not had the chance to take advantage of it due to Covid-19.
.
A large-scale promotional project has kicked off to promote 200 Korean actors globally.
.
Here’s more from reporter Kim Sun Hee.
.
Lee Byung Hun, who gets singled out as a great male actor in Korea.
.
Lee Jung Jae, who shows a new side of him in his transformative performance for each project.
.
Youn Yuh Jung, who defies conventional style and adds her own colors to every character she plays.
.
And Han Ye Ri, who is getting renewed attention for her role in movie “Minari.”
.
200 male and female Korean actors stepped in front of the camera.
.
Korean movies are getting worldwide attention, from Parasite’s 4 Oscar wins to Minari.
.
However, Covid-19 has made it impossible for Korean movies to sell overseas.
.
The Korean Film Council has joined forces with the actors and photographers to launch the promotional campaign
.
The 200 actors, 100 men and 100 women, were chosen based on their box office performance and the contribution they made to Korean films over the past decade.
.
First, the council will produce a book in English that contains the actors’ photos and stories and hand out copies of the book to those involved with the Cannes, Berlin, and Venice film festivals, as well as global OTT producers.
.
The council is also creating “Moving Trailers” that each show an actor’s filmography and release them on their website for global film industry people and audiences to see.
