Zhou Dongyu, the greatest star in the Greater China region, visited Busan to judge the New Currents section of the 29th Busan International Film Festival.

At the New Currents judge press conference held at the Culture Hall of Shinsegae Department Store Centum City Branch in Haeundae-gu, Busan on the 4th, Zhou Dong-yu (Joo Dong-woo) said, “Hello. “I am Joo Dong-woo,” he said in Korean.

Four judges, including Iranian director Mohammad Rasoulof, director Lee Myung-se, Indian actor Kani Khusruti, and Rotterdam International Film Festival Executive Committee Chairman Vanya Kaluzercic, attended the event.

Zhou Dongyu, who greeted me with poor pronunciation, smiled and said, “I just learned some Korean backstage a little while ago.”

He continued, “I am happy to be invited to the Busan International Film Festival, and I am grateful for the invitation. “Busan is like Qingdao in China, a beautiful romantic city that is neither cold nor hot because it is located on the beach,” he said.

Zhou Dongyu, who is considered the greatest star in the Greater China region, is attending the Busan International Film Festival for the second time.

He, who visited the Busan International Film Festival 14 years ago with his debut film ‘Under the Hawthorn Tree’, said, “Before coming to the festival, I searched for the Busan International Film Festival on the Internet. “As soon as I searched, a photo that was taken when I came here 14 years ago popped up,” he said. “I felt like Busan had watched me grow up.”

After debuting in the movie ‘Under the Hawthorn Tree’, Zhou Dongyu received favorable reviews for works such as ‘In the Future’ (2018) and ‘You as a Boy’ (2019) and has many fans in Korea.

In particular, her acting skills are evaluated as outstanding, as she became the youngest person ever to win the Best Actress award at three major awards ceremonies in the Greater China region, including the Golden Horse Film Awards, the Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards, and the Hong Kong Golden Lion Film Festival.

He expressed his sense of responsibility as a judge, saying, “14 years ago, I was just excited and happy, but now I am approaching it with a heavy mindset that I have a new mission.”

Also, regarding the evaluation criteria, “Movies must be free. An emotional approach and a rational interest must be combined. “The selected works will have their own unique feel, so we will pay attention and look into that aspect,” he said.
