Actress Lee Se-young captivated audiences and heated up the scene at the 31st Busan International Film Festival (BIFF), seamlessly crossing over between film and a Disney+ original series.
Shining Bright at BIFF with Two Major Projects
Lee Se-young visited the Busan International Film Festival to connect with fans through diverse schedules, including outdoor stage greetings and a GV (Guest Visit), for the film Still Radiant and the Disney+ original series The Remarried Empress.
During the outdoor stage greeting for Still Radiant on October 8, Lee Se-young introduced her character Ji-an, the granddaughter of Soon-ok (played by Kim Hye-ja), and expressed deep affection for the project. She shared her heartfelt thoughts, stating, "Acting alongside the senior actress was like receiving a Christmas present. I always wanted to work with Kim Hye-ja and learn from her, so I am incredibly happy to have acted together in such a radiant project."
Transforming into Rashta for The Remarried Empress
On October 9 and 10, she attended the premiere screening, GV, and outdoor stage greeting for the first three episodes of the Disney+ original series The Remarried Empress, bringing the venue to a standstill. Lee Se-young described her character Rashta, who possesses both innocence and desire, saying, "Rashta is a charming character.

The event venue for The Remarried Empress was packed with massive crowds even before the official start, proving explosive anticipation ahead of its official release. Lee Se-young expressed her gratitude to each and every fan who visited the venue, showcasing her signature warmth and love for her supporters.
