Actress Shin Min-a brilliantly illuminated the 31st Busan International Film Festival (BIFF), once again proving her unrivaled global presence.
Amid explosive interest from global fans and the press for the Disney+ original series ‘The Remarried Empress’, Shin Min-a successfully completed her major official schedule at the 31st BIFF, standing at the very center of this year’s festival buzz.
Returning to Busan 10 years after the film ‘My Love, My Bride’, Shin Min-a led the scene with her unchangingly elegant and captivating aura. In particular, following the ‘The Remarried Empress’ screening and GV (Guest Visit) held over two days on October 9 and 10, domestic and international audiences poured praise on her portrayal of Empress Navier and her detailed acting skills, raising anticipation for the main feature to its peak.
During the GV, Shin Min-a shared, "In the process of fitting the original work’s vast narrative into 10 episodes, I focused on making the character Navier deeply relatable to viewers," adding, "I infused power into the emotional lines, mindset, actions, and expressions of making independent choices as a woman, completing the character with the dignity and appearance an empress should possess," drawing deep sympathy and cheers from the audience.
The enthusiasm for Shin Min-a burned fiercely during the outdoor stage greeting held on the afternoon of the 10th. Appearing in a pure yet dignified look with her signature lovely visual, Shin Min-a responded with a bright smile to the fans who filled the venue, capturing the spotlight entirely. The subsequent ‘Shin Min-a Actor’s House’ also gave audiences an unforgettable resonance and memory by sharing her path as an actress and her sincere acting philosophy.
Particularly in an entertainment industry where premature rapid aging issues are prevalent, Shin Min-a drew major attention for her frozen beauty that seemed to have turned back time.
Having successfully wrapped up her relay events from the GV to the outdoor stage greeting and ‘Actor’s House’, Shin Min-a is raising expectations. Powered by Navier’s unrivaled visuals and favorable reviews unveiled first in Busan, global prospective viewers waiting for the official release are focusing on her potential to break her own record for a new life character.
Meanwhile, the romance fantasy epic ‘The Remarried Empress’, starring Shin Min-a, will be simultaneously released worldwide on November 4 via Disney+.
