K-CINEMA CLUB: Actors in Question Event Period 14.05.2026 - 28.05.2026
Three Arresting Performances. Three Unsettling Questions. Three award-winning performances confronting grief, love, and belonging — and the questions that follow. K-Cinema Club returns this May! Join us for a new series of films led by three powerful performances that stay long after the credits roll. In this edition of K-Cinema Club, Actors in Question brings together three award-winning performances shaped by questions that linger. From grief and faith, to love and self-reflection, to the fragile making of family, these films move beyond narrative to confront questions that resist easy answers. Each performance does more than inhabit a character — it draws us into moments where feeling, belief, and belonging are tested, and where we are left to consider what remains. Don’t miss the chance to immerse yourself in these powerful performances — and the questions they leave you with. Secret Sunshine | 2007 | 2h 22m Can faith offer refuge in the face of utter devastation? Who can be forgiven, and redeemed? After her husband’s death, Shin-ae moves with her young son to his hometown of Miryang, hoping to begin a new life. As she struggles to settle into an unfamiliar and quietly isolating environment, an unexpected tragedy upends everything, pushing her toward faith and forcing her to confront its limits. On the Beach at Night Alone | 2017 | 1h 41m What becomes clear after love passes, leaving us alone? Following a relationship with a married man, actress Younghee steps away from her life and travels abroad. Spending her days in quiet reflection by the sea, she revisits the past, questioning her emotions and the choices that led her there. Broker | 2022 | 2h 9m Who is granted the right to claim a place in a family? One night, a young mother leaves her baby at a church-run drop box. The child is taken in by two men operating an informal adoption network, who set out to find him a new family, setting off a journey that brings together a group of strangers with their own reasons for being there.

Opening Reception | YOONSEUL: The Beauty That Appears When Two Worlds Meet by Hyoung-Sik Jin Event Date 08.05.2026
Join us for the opening reception of YOONSEUL, an evening marking the meeting of two landscapes through photography. YOONSEUL (윤슬), meaning “shimmering light dancing on the water's surface,” reflects moments that pass quickly yet leave a lasting impression. In this exhibition, Hyoung-Sik Jin presents a deeply personal visual journey shaped over the course of a year, moving between South Korea and South Africa. Through his photographic works, the artist captures landscapes not as they are typically seen, but as they are felt. Light becomes more than illumination. It becomes memory, presence, and quiet resilience. Like reflections on water or traces left on the surface of a life marked by time, these images invite viewers to pause and reconsider what is often overlooked. This exhibition is not merely about scenery. It is about perspective. It opens a space for dialogue between two distant yet unexpectedly connected lands, offering a meaningful opportunity for artistic exchange between Korea and South Africa. Hyoung-Sik Jin Hyoung-Sik Jin is a contemporary photographer known for his thoughtful exploration of light, time, and landscape. His work captures quiet, often overlooked moments, transforming them into reflections of memory and emotion. He has received multiple awards, including recognition in the Korean Air Photo Contest and the Hyundai Photography Competition, where he was selected among the “50 Photographers of the Year.” With a series of solo and group exhibitions across South Korea, his work continues to shape a distinctive visual language grounded in subtlety and depth.
