Choi Hyunyoung directs drama about lies following subway tragedy at Busan Asian Project Market
Director Choi Hyunyoung presents a new film project titled All's Well That Ends Well at the Asian Project Market during the Busan International Film Festival.
Teenager becomes center of controversy
The story follows Jung-hyun, a high school dancer who sacrifices herself to save others in a subway disaster. Her bravery inspires national accounts that bring money and compensation to her family. However, the truth about the event remains concealed while falsehoods continue to grow around her case.
Family and press shape narratives
Relatives and journalists involved in the situation each construct their own version of events to match their beliefs. These conflicting accounts drive the mystery toward an ending that none of the participants anticipated. The project explores how a tragedy can conceal details nobody knows.
Director returns to personal history
Choi Hyunyoung created this film after experiencing a life-threatening reaction to medication and undergoing significant personal changes. She chose to revisit a story she had kept hidden for over 20 years. The project reflects her desire to return to herself at age 14 standing near the tragedy site.
