What Does the Hong Kong Release Title of 'The Master of the World', '若問世界誰無傷' Mean?

The word-of-mouth hit that has surpassed 40,000 viewers, 〈The Master of the World〉, is set to premiere in Hong Kong, with director Yoon Ga-eun confirming her attendance at the 22nd Hong Kong Asian Film Festival for a meet-and-greet with the audience.

Having secured the number one spot at the Korean independent film box office upon its release, 〈The Master of the World〉 has been officially invited to the 22nd Hong Kong Asian Film Festival ahead of its local release, with director Yoon Ga-eun confirmed to participate in a Q&A session. The Hong Kong Asian Film Festival showcases notable new films from across Asia as Hong Kong premieres each year, serving as a platform for the exchange of Asian cinema. Notably, the section 〈Cineaste Delights〉, which includes 〈The Master of the World〉, features major works invited to prestigious international film festivals, receiving enthusiastic support from local audiences.

With this, director Yoon Ga-eun has had all three of her feature films, including 〈Our Body〉 and 〈Our Home〉, invited to the Hong Kong Asian Film Festival. The festival expressed special affection for director Yoon Ga-eun by inviting 〈The Master of the World〉, commenting that it is a "masterpiece that delicately explores the true bonds between people while excellently depicting the complex and subtle world of adolescence." Director Yoon Ga-eun is expected to attend the Hong Kong premiere screening scheduled for November 2 (Sunday) to meet with local audiences, and after the festival screening, 〈The Master of the World〉 will officially release in Hong Kong under the title '若問世界誰無傷 (Is there anyone in this world without scars?)'.

Meanwhile, currently receiving the most fervent attention in theaters, 〈The Master of the World〉 tells the story of an enigmatic 18-year-old high school girl, 'Juin', who refuses to participate alone in a signature campaign involving the entire student body and begins to receive mysterious notes. Since its release, it has maintained the number one spot at the Korean independent film box office. Surpassing 30,000 viewers within five days of its release and nearing 50,000 viewers, 〈The Master of the World〉 has sparked a 'relay support screening' craze with strong support and encouragement from fellow filmmakers, and has been noted as a long-running hit that revitalizes the stagnant theater scene, with spontaneous spoiler-free review challenges from audiences continuing.

The highly discussed film 〈The Master of the World〉, which announced director Yoon Ga-eun's attendance at the Hong Kong Asian Film Festival, is currently being screened with great acclaim in theaters.
