Teo Yoo, enthusiastic response at the Berlin Film Festival
According to the agency C-JeS Entertainment on the 20th, when the preview screening of the movie 'Past Lives' was held at the Berlinale PALAST on the 19th local time, there was enthusiastic applause and cheers.
Cheers and praise continued for the actors who watched the movie together and headed to the stage, and the A24 production company party held after the preview was full of stories about the emotion and deep lingering feelings about the movie.
‘Past Lives’ is the story of Nora and Hae-seong, who have been closely related since childhood. It tells the story of the fateful one-week reunion of the two adults in New York, 20 years after Nora immigrated to Canada when she was 10 years old. Teo Yoo played the role of Hae-seong, and after Sundance, he entered the competition at the Berlin International Film Festival and walked the red carpet.
Teo Yoo's popularity was also great at local press conferences and the premiere red carpet. He was born in Germany and realized his global popularity by standing on the red carpet for a competing film at the Berlin International Film Festival. Most reporters wanted to take pictures with Teo Yoo, and the cheers of fans cheering for Teo Yoo on the red carpet were also great.
He added, "I am a Korean actor, but I was born in Germany and my parents live in Germany. I was invited to compete at the Berlin International Film Festival, and my parents came to the premiere and watched the movie together. It was a happy and proud moment that cannot be expressed in words."
Teo Yoo said, “I felt that K-content and Korean actors were receiving a lot of attention during the two-day international film festival, and I was happy that people not only from Germany but also from many countries came to the red carpet, called my name, asked for autographs, and expressed their support. “I spent some time,” he said.
He also said, "Although it was a short two-day time at the Berlin International Film Festival, I was very grateful to receive warm love from European film fans, and I am sad to leave so quickly. The film 'Past Life' received favorable reviews at the festival and I was able to greet many overseas fans until its release. “I hope this will be an opportunity,” he said.
Meanwhile, 'Past lives' starring Yoo Teo is scheduled to be released in the first half of this year.
