Last year, Sim Eun Woo appeared on the red carpet at the opening ceremony of the 26th Busan International Film Festival, returning from a blank period due to allegations of bullying.
In March 2021, she admitted to being the perpetrator of bullying and suspended activities. At that time she issued an apology saying "I learned that the immature words and deeds I had done to my friend when I was a student left a deep emotional wound in my friend during their school days. Realizing that my words and actions left a long-lasting scar on another person, I was deeply troubled by my past and my present self. I still express my sincere apologies to that friend."
She suddenly participated in the "Busan International Film Festival" and became the center of suspicion when she returned after 7 months. She was scheduled to participate in the GV (Dialogue with the Audience) event when she appeared at the same Film Festival as the lead in the official invitation film "Seire" (directed by Park Gang) of the New Currents Division.
However, as soon as it became a Hot Topic due to issues other than the work, Shim Eun Woo eventually canceled part of GV's schedule. Sim Eun Woo said, "I was invited by the Film Festival to participate, but it was unintentional, and my personal issues became more of a hot topic than the work. Because it was not courtesy of the work, I had a discussion with the Film Festival. After that, I decided not to participate."
The main character of this year's "Busan International Film Festival" Hot Topic was Park HyeSu, who is also related to bullying issues. Unlike Shim Eun Woo, who admitted to being bullied, she denied the suspicion, saying, "I am the victim of bullying."
This is her first official event in two years since she was accused of bullying in February last year. Until then, the formation of the new TV series "Dear.M" starring Park HyeSu had been postponed indefinitely and all activities had been stopped. Park HyeSu said, "We have filed a complaint against the mastermind who posted false information, and the investigation is ongoing."
While the discussion was still going on, she participated in the GV event of 'You and I' (directed by Cho Hyun-chul) held at the preview room of the Film Promotion Committee in Haeundae-gu, Busan on the 9th. This work is an official invitation work of the "27th Busan International Film Festival" "Korean Cinema Today - Vision" section.
In particular, at this event, Park HyeSu directly revealed her thoughts on the suspicions and attracted more attention. She said, "I'm not running away from my current situation and I'm trying my best to solve it. I will make it possible," she said.
It is attracting attention as a "return with dignity", but in the situation where the Film Festival is returning to its original form after overcoming the aftermath of the spread of the COVID-19 virus, it is somewhat surprising that the suspected actors have fallen into the comeback stage. I felt bitter.
