Some of the Best 2023 Busan International Film Festival Red Carpet
Park Eun-bin
Our beloved Extraordinary Attorney Woo has made it a trailblazing habit to the lead the first set of “firsts”, and this time too she became the first-ever solo moderator for the opening ceremony at BIFF 2023. She was a total dreamy vision in her bright blue Monique Lhuillier strapless tulle gown on the first day of the Busan International Film Festival 2023. Keeping it minimal, her frilly dress made the show-stopping statement at the event, while her glowing lariat necklace and hoop earrings added glow to her look in the simplest, yet most effective way possible.
Jeon Jong-seo
In her JOVANI fit and flare long black gown, the South Korean Ballerina actress also known as Rachel Jun, took the 28th Busan International Film Festival 2023 Red Carpet on the opening day by storm. Her strapless gown, takes a rather close-fitting outlook in the upper half of the dress, which then flows down into a flared skirt-like look. It is also decked with bows, which adorns the dress with a symmetrical look.

Han Hyo-joo
The Moving actress has won all our hearts already with her role in the recently concluded Disney+ Korean drama series. Having earned the title of the nation’s new girl-crush, all eyes were bound to be on her. And so she has delivered one of the best looks of the Busan International Film Festival Day 1 in her monochrome slit-neck dress from Chanel’s Resort 2022 collection. With her dress’ deep neck, she made the most of the opportunity to pair her attire with a long trickling-down necklace and its complementary earrings. White flapped-shoulders and flared sleeves a unique touch to the otherwise dark dress.
Although the dress may not seem like the most flattering choice for her, Hyo-joo still knows how to to pull it off. She stepped up to the occasion along with her fellow Believer 2 cast mates.
Krystal Jung
Mononymously known as Kystral, the ex-f(x) member always knows how to do the fashion game right, and so she again served in her dark gown choice in a way that can only be as confidently carried by her. Her Kameron Bead-embellished Velvet Column Evening Dress from the Ralph Lauren Collection is an easy winner that doesn’t even need any necklace to accentuate the singer’s evening look. She was joined by her Korean period black comedy film Cobweb‘s cast members Lim Soo-jung, Song Kang-ho and Oh Jung-se.
Song Joong-ki
Alongside the upcoming Hopeless Korean movie’s cast members and director, Joong-ki swore by the classic route and kept things light with his black and white suit choice, and quintessentially resorted to the bow tie look. His fans often lightheartedly joke about how he’s forgotten how to age, and the same evergreen essence of his visuals was again on display on the first day of the film festival.
Yoo Seung-ho
Taking a rather different and unique path, The Deal actor was seen standing out among his fellow co-stars of the 2023 film. Seung-ko ditched the usual suit and tie choice and went for a perennially shimmery two-piece suit paired with a silky deep-necked shirt.
