On September 17, Shin Ye-eun walked the red carpet at the Busan Cinema Center in Haeundae, alongside her co-stars Rowoon and Park Seo Ham from the upcoming Disney+ series The Murky Stream.
The actress turned heads in a stunning white one-shoulder gown adorned with a floral detail, paired with a sleek bob haircut that accentuated her youthful yet elegant charm.
Later, while seated in the audience, Shin Ye-eun was caught on the live broadcast cameras. Seizing the moment, she flashed a cheerful V-sign, followed by finger hearts, air kisses, and even a playful wink, energizing the crowd and bringing festival vibes to a new high.
To the audience’s delight, director Guillermo del Toro attending BIFF with his wife Kim Morgan and daughter Marisa del Toro responded in kind. The Oscar- and Venice-winning filmmaker, in town to present his Netflix film Frankenstein at a gala screening, joined the fun with playful gestures, including pinching his cheeks and striking a mock-pout pose.
The aegyo wave didn’t stop there. Maggie Kang, director of Netflix’s animated project K-Pop Demon Hunters, added her own twist with a “cheek heart” pose, while actress Shim Eun-kyung, attending with her film Days of Journey, charmed the audience with a dramatic, sultry expression.
The unexpected series of gestures not only showcased the lighter side of the international stars but also set a festive, inclusive tone for BIFF’s 30th anniversary celebration.
With Shin Ye-eun’s rising popularity in Korean drama and Guillermo del Toro’s global cinematic legacy, this quirky cultural exchange highlighted the joy of cinema bridging borders through something as simple and universal as a playful smile.
