Actress Jun Ji-hyun, who recently attracted attention for her sun-kissed skin, set New York alight as an Asian goddess.
Jun Ji-hyun attended the 25th New York Asian Film Festival VIP gala at the David Rubenstein Atrium in New York, U.S., on the 11th (local time).
At the event, Jun Ji-hyun received the "Extraordinary Star Asia Award (Extraordinary Star Asia Award)". This award is given to actors who have made significant contributions to the development of Asian cinema, and Jun Ji-hyun received the trophy thanks to her work in the film "Colony".
She especially captivated attention with an elegant black dress. Jun Ji-hyun's signature lean, toned figure and her recently talked-about sun-kissed tan were partially concealed by the black dress and a jacket draped over her shoulders, creating an even more overwhelming presence.
Jun Ji-hyun added meaning in her acceptance remarks, saying, "I believe film is, in fact, a special work that connects people beyond culture and language. I am very happy that 'Colony' was made with that spirit and was able to be presented to New York audiences like this."
Meanwhile, "Colony" is a work that depicts survivors in a building sealed off by a mysterious infection confronting infected people who evolve in unpredictable ways. As director Yeon Sang-ho's third zombie film following "Train to Busan" and "Peninsula," it received an official invitation to the midnight screening section at this year's Cannes Film Festival and garnered praise at film festivals overseas as well as domestically. Riding that success, it was a box-office hit in Korea with cumulative admissions of about 5.9 million. <
