The films will be screened in theatres and online, offering audiences a unique opportunity to explore how stories transcend mediums and genres.

In addition, attendees can enjoy interactive photo experiences inspired by the films and receive exclusive festival merchandise. The festival celebrates the global excellence of Korean films and webcomics, showcasing their creativity, innovation, and cultural impact.
