Rookie Seo Soo-bin Garners Attention in Director Yoon Ga-eun's Upcoming Film 'Master of the World'
Rookie actress Seo Soo-bin is rapidly emerging as a name to watch with her starring role in director Yoon Ga-eun's new film, 'Master of the World,' set to premiere on October 22.
The film, which has already garnered significant international acclaim by being invited to prestigious film festivals including the Toronto International Film Festival, tells the story of an unpredictable 18-year-old high school student, 'Joo-in,' whose impulsive actions set off a chain of events that shake everyone's world.
Despite having virtually no prior on-camera experience, Seo Soo-bin has earned director Yoon Ga-eun's strong trust. Her performance in 'Master of the World' received rapturous applause during its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, quickly turning her into a topic of discussion.
Director Yoon expressed immense praise for Seo Soo-bin, stating, "Her flexibility in reading and reacting to other actors' performances was impressive. The more I watched, the more curious I became about what she would do next, and before I knew it, I couldn't imagine anyone but 'Lee Joo-in' playing the role. It felt as though she had stepped right out of the film." This highlights the potential she brings to the screen.
With such a remarkable debut performance, Seo Soo-bin is being hailed as the next promising talent poised to make a significant impact on the Korean film industry in 2025, following in the footsteps of acclaimed actresses like Kim Go-eun, Chun Woo-hee, Jeon Yeo-been, and Kim Da-mi.
Seo Soo-bin's role in 'Master of the World' marks her official acting debut. The director particularly lauded her improvisational skills and natural delivery. Her upcoming performances are highly anticipated to bring a fresh energy to Korean cinema.
