On the 22nd, Chae Jung-an TV uploaded a video showing the VIP screening event for For the Present, in which Chae Jung-an appears.
Chae Jung-an played Hae-in in the film and met with audiences at the event. During the stage greeting, she said, "For the Present was a film that made me think a lot about the present through this project," expressing her affection for the work.

Yoon Eun-hye was the first to arrive, carrying a fragrant bouquet of flowers. She showed her unwavering loyalty, saying, "I prepared flowers that look like you, unnie."
Actors Kim Jae-wook and Gong Yoo also appeared. Seeing the many cameras, Gong Yoo joked, "What is Chae Jung-an TV?" showing off his trademark playful wit. Kim Jae-wook and Gong Yoo, both wearing masks and dressed casually, removed their masks for the photo and stood in front of the cameras.
When Chae Jung-an greeted the camera by saying, "Hi, thank you," Gong Yoo teased her, asking, "Who are you greeting?" as she kept looking only at the camera without making eye contact, sending the venue into laughter.
Chae Jung-an then said, "I'm addicted to cameras. I must be crazy," and expressed her gratitude to Kim Jae-wook and Gong Yoo.
Many other close colleagues of Chae Jung-an also attended to celebrate the film's release. Chae Jung-an greeted each person personally and thanked them, while her colleagues supported her with photos and messages of encouragement.
During the stage greeting that followed, Gong Yoo, seated next to Yoon Eun-hye, raised his hand and gave a loud round of applause to cheer on Chae Jung-an, drawing attention.
