The iconic actors Song Kang-ho (송강호), Lee Byung-hun (이병헌), Lee Young-ae (이영애), and Kim Tae-woo (김태우) will gather for a special event on February 4 at 7 PM at CGV Yongsan I-Park Mall, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the film 'Joint Security Area' (공동경비구역 JSA), directed by Park Chan-wook (박찬욱). This event will also feature the director himself, making it a significant reunion of some of Korea's most celebrated talents.

CJ ENM, a global powerhouse in intellectual property, has announced the selection of 'Joint Security Area' as part of its '30th Anniversary Visionary Selections.' This initiative highlights the company's commitment to leading the K-culture industry and opening new chapters in the future.

Since 2020, CJ ENM has recognized unique individuals across various fields of Korean pop culture, including broadcasting, film, music, and entertainment, as 'Visionaries.' This year, in honor of its 30th anniversary, the company is spotlighting works that have made a significant impact and shifted paradigms in the industry, with 'Joint Security Area' being a key film in this selection. The film is noted for its humanistic portrayal of the realities of division, contributing to a shift in public perception regarding inter-Korean relations and marking a pivotal moment in Korean cinema history.

To celebrate this milestone, CJ ENM has organized a series of events since January 20, culminating in the February 4 gathering where Park Chan-wook and the lead actors will engage with fans. This event, taking place in the Park Chan-wook Theater at CGV Yongsan I-Park, is particularly meaningful as it marks the first time in 25 years that these prominent figures will come together.

Hosted by writer Kim Se-yoon (김세윤), the event will be broadcast live in two additional theaters, promising an engaging and insightful discussion about the beloved classic 'Joint Security Area.'
