Moon Choi joins Busan jury after stepping back from awards
Actress Moon Choi has joined the jury for the competition section of the Busan International Film Festival while reflecting on her recent career choices.
Storing away past trophies
Moon Choi kept her fourteen awards from a single year hidden in a cabinet for several years. She stated that displaying them created pressure to prove her worth again after achieving success at age thirty.
Recent career struggles
The actress worked on independent films and television series that she described as flopping badly during this period. One project titled A Girl with Closed Eyes has not received a release date two years after its festival premiere.
Return to the festival
Choi is now sitting on the seven-member jury for the competition section which is in its second year. Zhang Yimou presides over the event while she evaluates films alongside other jurors.
