Legendary actor Tony Leung and director Ildikó Enyedi will visit Korea from April 2 to 4 ahead of the release of Silent Friend.
Korean distributor Andamiro officially announced their visit on the 12th. This marks Tony Leung's first visit to Seoul in 18 years since Red Cliff in 2008.
He met Korean audiences at the Busan International Film Festival last year, and this trip is set to be a meaningful visit tied to the film's official theatrical release.
Meanwhile, this will be Ildikó Enyedi's first time in Korea. The Hungarian filmmaker established a connection with Korea when her work was invited to the Busan International Film Festival last year. During this visit, she plans to engage with Korean audiences through official events in Seoul, with detailed schedules to be announced later.
Silent Friend marks Tony Leung's European film debut. Centered on a ginkgo tree in a German botanical garden, the film portrays people from three eras—1908, 1972, and 2020—finding resonance and connection across generations. It is also an official selection of the 82nd Venice International Film Festival this year.
