Actor Moon Seong-hyun has shared behind-the-scenes footage from the 2026 Busan International Film Festival, which featured the film 'Still Shining'. A video released by FNCEnt captures the activities of the actors visiting Busan ahead of the film's release.

This marks Moon Seong-hyun's second visit to the Busan International Film Festival since 2024, and he expressed his feelings about being invited to attend under a different section this time. He also shared the nervousness he felt while preparing for the red carpet and stage greetings.

"A boy and a girl living in that era"

'Still Shining' tells the story of Sun-ok, who reunites with a sparkling friend after 60 years. Moon Seong-hyun stated that while preparing for his character, he worked hard to capture the emotions and dialect of a man from Gyeongsang Province. He explained that the director requested him to focus on the present reality of the boy and girl living in that era, rather than interpreting them from a future perspective.

Moon Seong-hyun recalled that when he first encountered the scenario, he was deeply moved by many scenes that resonated with him. He shared that he approached the work with the desire to beautifully capture this brilliant story, which can be both beautiful and heartbreaking, on film.
