Lee Hee-jun Engages with Audiences Through Multiple GV Sessions for 'Rectangle, Triangle'

Lee Hee-jun has been deeply connecting with audiences through multiple Guest Visit (GV) sessions.

Recently, Lee Hee-jun presented his second directorial film, 'Rectangle, Triangle'. The 45-minute medium-length film captures the unfolding of long-standing family conflicts during a seemingly pleasant family gathering. Lee skillfully portrays the realistic faces of family dynamics on screen, capturing everyday relational conflicts with sharpness and humor.

'Rectangle, Triangle' was officially invited to the 26th Jeonju International Film Festival, earning early recognition for its artistic value. Following its release, director Lee Hee-jun personally organized multiple GV sessions, with actors he has worked with readily agreeing to participate, facilitating meaningful conversations with the audience.

Starting from the opening day GV, Lee Hee-jun has continued these sessions with a total of 10 actors, including Park Hae-soo, Song Joong-ki, Lee Sung-min, Kim Sung-cheol, Choi Woo-shik, Kim Min-ha, Lee Jae-wook, Han Ga-in, Park Jin-young, and Im Si-wan. The participating actors shared their impressions of the film, as well as personal experiences related to Lee's realistic storytelling, fostering a relaxed atmosphere for interaction with the audience. Lee expressed deep gratitude to his fellow actors for taking the time to join the GV, stating, “I sincerely thank everyone who came to support my work despite their busy schedules, and I promise to repay this kindness in the future.”

The film intricately weaves in influences from Roman Polanski's 'Carnage', lectures by Buddhist monk Beopryun, and Lee's own experiences with dishwashing and ancestral rites at his in-laws, showcasing his interests and forming a relatable narrative. As a realistic family drama, it presents Lee Hee-jun's new directorial vision.

The GV journey for 'Rectangle, Triangle' will conclude on the 6th with appearances by Jin Seon-kyu, Kwon So-hyun, Oh Yong, Jung Yeon, and Jung Jong-jun. This series of GVs, marked by heartfelt support for the film and deep interaction with audiences, is set to leave a lasting impression and meaningful conclusion.

Lee Hee-jun is set to meet viewers again in the upcoming ENA drama 'Scarecrow'.
