Han So-hee, Jeon Jong-seo, and Director Lee Hwan of the film 〈Project Y〉, invited to the Special Presentation section of the 50th Toronto International Film Festival, have confirmed their attendance. 〈Project Y〉 tells the story of Mi-sun and Do-kyung, who, having nothing but each other, steal hidden black money and gold bars to escape their harsh reality.

With the unique chemistry of Han So-hee and Jeon Jong-seo and the anticipation for their lively and funky crime drama, 〈Project Y〉 has been invited to the Special Presentation section of the 50th Toronto International Film Festival, where Han So-hee, Jeon Jong-seo, and Director Lee Hwan have confirmed their attendance. The global audience's interest is expected to be focused on Jeon Jong-seo, who has gained a global fandom not only for her works such as 〈Kyeongseong Creature〉, 〈My Name〉, and 〈I Know But〉, but also as a stylish fashion icon, and has made a significant impact with every project she has participated in, including her debut in Lee Chang-dong's 〈Burning〉, 〈Call〉, and the drama 〈The Price of a Body〉. Additionally, Director Lee Hwan, who has made waves with his bold debut work 〈Park Hwa-young〉 and his upcoming film 〈Adults Don’t Know〉, has been invited to the Toronto International Film Festival with his third feature film, 〈Project Y〉, which is expected to draw significant attention for its new style.

On September 10 (Wednesday), local time, at the first official event, Han So-hee, Jeon Jong-seo, and Director Lee Hwan, the main characters of 〈Project Y〉, will meet global audiences on the red carpet ahead of the world premiere. Following this, at 9:30 PM, the first official screening will take place at the Princess of Wales Theatre, one of the largest theaters among those screening festival selections, with a capacity of 1,721 seats, generating intense interest as it will be the first time the film is presented to global movie fans.
