‘Okja’ Red Carpet Event
The casts of ‘Okja’ came to Korea.
Bong Joon Ho’s latest work, ‘Okja’, is finally brought to the Korean public. Tilda Swinton and other casts from the movie came to Korea to promote ‘Okja’. On June 13th, the red carpet event for the movie was held. The event was attended by about 1,200 people who can not wait for this movie. On the red carpet, the casts spent time with their fans, from giving signatures to taking photos together.
The most anticipated figure was Steven Yeun, as it was his first time coming to Korea. Steven Yeun greeted female fans and showcased his Korean language skill, albeit limited. “Thank you. I feel happy to be home. I spent a lot of fun during filming. I want you to watch it too.”
The red carpet event was also attended by Yoon Je Moon and Choi Woo Sik, who appeared in the movie. ‘Okja’ accepted the invitation from the Cannes Film Festival and was initially released on Netflix, a streaming site. “This is my first time making a movie about a love story, but the love story in this movie is of a girl’s love for a pet, not a male-female love story. I wish anyone who owns pets can watch this movie.” said Bong Joon Ho.
‘Okja’ is scheduled to be released on June 29 in Korea
