[Sportschosun Reporter Jo Ji-young] Director Lee Chang-dong said, "I’m curious to see how audiences around the world will view 'Possible Love.'"

On the morning of the 25th, a production presentation for the Netflix film "Possible Love" (directed by Lee Chang-dong and produced by PINEHOUSE FILM, Anonymous Content, and Now Film) was held at Hotel Naru Seoul - MGallery Collection in Mapo District, Seoul. Attending the event were Jeon Do-yeon, who plays Mi-ok, a woman enduring a harsh and exhausting life while standing by her husband, a laid-off worker; Sul Kyung-gu, who plays Ho-seok, a dismissed worker who loses his livelihood after an abrupt and unfair firing and struggles to fight back; Zo In-sung, who plays Sang-woo, Yeo-ji’s husband and a documentary director trying to capture the lives of the laid-off worker couple; Cho Yeo-jeong, who plays Yeo-ji, a woman living in circumstances that contrast with Ho-seok and Mi-ok; and director Lee Chang-dong.

Lee Chang-dong opened by saying, "I feel deeply moved to be meeting everyone again after eight years." He added, "We plan to unveil this film as a world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival. I’m really curious about the first reactions and how audiences around the world will receive it."

"Possible Love" tells the story of a laid-off worker and his wife, as well as a documentary director and her husband, who meet to make a documentary and come face to face with different lives and hidden desires. The film stars Jeon Do-yeon, Sul Kyung-gu, Zo In-sung, and Cho Yeo-jeong, with Lee Chang-dong, known for "Peppermint Candy," "Oasis," "Miryang," "Poetry," and "Burning," directing. It will open in theaters on September 23 and will be released on Netflix starting November 6.
