'Master of My World' Surges Towards 70,000 Admissions, Director Yoon Ga-eun Releases Special Stills for Fans

Director Yoon Ga-eun's latest film, 'Master of My World,' is generating a buzz through word-of-mouth and is nearing the 70,000 viewer mark. To show appreciation for its dedicated fandom, 'Juin-jang' (meaning 'owner' or 'master'), the production team has unveiled additional special stills.

The film's distributor, Barunson E&A, released 10 new stills on the 4th, offering fans a deeper look into the life of the protagonist, 'Juin' (meaning 'master' or 'owner'), and the characters surrounding her.

The newly released images capture 'Juin' sharing her curiosities about sex with close friends at a school cafeteria, displaying a playful side. Another still shows her watching a magic show performed by her younger sibling 'Hae-in' alongside their mother, 'Tae-seon,' at home, highlighting 'Juin's vibrant life both in school and at home.

Further stills reveal 'Juin' practicing her kicks alone at a taekwondo dojo and participating in volunteer work with her boyfriend, 'Chan-woo.' These images showcase 'Juin' beyond the classroom, hinting at her daily life interacting with various people in a multifaceted world.

Additionally, stills depicting 'Juin' seriously rebutting her classmate 'Su-ho' over a petition issue, her best friend 'Yu-ra' creating distance after an impulsive remark from 'Juin,' and 'Juin's mother 'Tae-seon' looking on with concern, all serve to pique audience curiosity about the unfolding events in 'Juin's world.

Director Yoon Ga-eun explained her vision: "I believed 'Master of My World' needed to be 'Juin's story, but also the story of the family and friends who help 'Juin' rise anew each day." She added, "My hope was for everyone to be portrayed as interconnected parts of a single world, acting as both obstacles that shake 'Juin's world and as lamps that illuminate it."

'Master of My World' tells the story of 'Juin,' an enigmatic eighteen-year-old high school girl who stands between popularity and attention-seeking. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she alone refuses a school-wide petition and begins receiving mysterious notes. The film is currently receiving rave reviews in theaters nationwide.

Korean netizens are praising the film for its heartwarming message and director Yoon Ga-eun's signature delicate touch, with comments like "This is Yoon Ga-eun's work, as expected," "A film that moves adults to tears," and "I deeply relate to the character of Juin." The newly released stills have also garnered enthusiastic responses, with fans exclaiming, "Want to see more stills!" and "The best gift for the fans!"
