Actor Zo In-sung explained the situation regarding reporters rushing to get his autograph during a press conference at the Venice International Film Festival.

Attending the press screening and conference for "Possible Love" held at CGV Yongsan in Seoul on the afternoon of the 21st, Zo In-sung talked about his appearance at the official press conference of the 83rd Venice International Film Festival, saying, "If you are planning to come out and get autographs again today, please let me know in advance. Then I won't be as flustered," bringing laughter to the room.

Zo In-sung shared, "I was lucky enough to go to the Cannes Film Festival this year and also joined the Venice Film Festival, but this was a sight I hadn't seen at Cannes."

He added, "Since it was an official press conference, I was sitting there expecting a solemn atmosphere, but suddenly reporters started rushing out in groups, so I thought we had done something wrong."

That situation took place after the official press conference for "Possible Love" at the Venice Film Festival concluded. As soon as the press conference ended, reporters sitting in the audience rushed toward the podium with paper and pens, and upon seeing this, Zo In-sung reacted with wide, rabbit-like eyes. It was a moment that offered a glimpse into director Lee Chang-dong's international stature, which even made reporters reveal their inner fan hearts.

Zo In-sung smiled and said, "That scene remains with us as something astonishing, yet welcoming and touching. I was grateful to see that the foreign press reporters who came to the Venice Film Festival also recognized and welcomed the director and the status of Korean cinema."

"Possible Love" is a film that depicts the story of a laid-off worker and his wife, along with a documentary director and her husband—two couples who meet for a documentary production and face their different lives and hidden desires. It is director Lee Chang-dong's new work, his first in eight years since "Burning", and it won the Silver Lion (Grand Jury Prize) at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival.

It is scheduled for a limited theatrical release domestically starting on the 23rd, and will be officially released worldwide via Netflix on November 6.
