Yoon Jong-hoon Shines as Barrier-Free Ambassador at the 27th Jeonju International Film Festival

Yoon Jong-hoon, 42, made a distinguished appearance as the Barrier-Free Ambassador at the 27th Jeonju International Film Festival. Previously, he garnered attention in January last year when he revealed on KBS2's variety show 'New Release - Pyeonstorang' that he has been living with a middle school friend for a decade.

On April 29, Yoon attended the opening ceremony of the 27th Jeonju International Film Festival held at the Sori Arts Center of Jeollabuk-do, adding grace to the event. Under the slogan 'We Always Cross the Line,' this year's festival saw Yoon walking the red carpet as the Barrier-Free Ambassador, promoting the significance of barrier-free films.

Yoon's appearance was met with cheers from citizens and audiences, heightening the festival's excitement. Beyond attending the opening ceremony, he is set to engage in activities befitting a Barrier-Free Ambassador throughout the festival. On May 5, he will serve as a moderator for a special screening and audience dialogue (GV) in the 'Special Screening: Barrier-Free' section, acting as a bridge between the audience and the works.

Yoon Jong-hoon is carving a unique path as a 'multi-entertainer,' crossing genres and fields. Following his special appearance on tvN's 'Siren,' he is currently delivering a compelling performance as the protagonist Go Kyul in KBS 1TV's 'Our Happy Days of Joy.' Additionally, he has been active across cultural and artistic domains, serving as the promotional ambassador for the '1st 2025 Korea-China-Japan Calligraphy International Exchange Exhibition' and hosting the '2025 Korea Kimchi Festival.'

With solid acting skills and a warm influence, Yoon Jong-hoon is expected to convey the value of barrier-free films to audiences through his participation in the Jeonju International Film Festival and other activities. Anticipation is high for the diverse and captivating appearances he will continue to present to the public.
