Actor Ji Seung-hyun has graced the Da Nang Asian Film Festival (DANAFF IV) for the second year in a row.

The 4th Da Nang Asian Film Festival, which kicked off on the 28th, is an international event that highlights the artistry and creativity of Asian cinema, drawing filmmakers from around the world.

Following his first visit to the festival last year, Ji returned this year with two films, Cheongeoh and Veranda, both of which were officially invited to the event, allowing him to reconnect with local audiences in Vietnam.

On the first day of the festival, Ji walked the red carpet at the opening ceremony alongside the team from the film Cheongeoh, soaking in the festival atmosphere. He attended the premiere of Cheongeoh, which was invited to the Asian In-Competition Films section, and shared various stories about the project through interviews with local media.

Cheongeoh is a feature film co-produced by four countries: South Korea, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Indonesia. It tells the story of a woman who delivers milk and has lost her voice, and a drifter with a violent past, as they heal each other's wounds and find hope in life. Ji plays the role of Gwang-su, delivering a performance marked by deep emotional resonance and restraint.

Furthermore, Cheongeoh has been garnering attention from the international film industry even before its domestic release, having been unveiled to global buyers at the 30th Hong Kong International Film & TV Market (FILMART). The film is also scheduled to meet international audiences again after being officially invited to the 9th Malaysia International Film Festival, which begins on July 18. Meanwhile, the film Veranda is currently in post-production with a target release in the second half of the year.

Note: "Cheongeoh" and "Veranda" are romanizations, as no official English titles have been released yet.
