Gong previously won the Actor Award in the Korean Competition category at the 22nd Jeonju International Film Festival for "Aloners" and was selected as a jury member for the Korean Short Film Competition at the 23rd Jeonju International Film Festival, highlighting her deep connection with the festival.

The opening film of the Jeonju International Film Festival is "Tori and Lokita" by directors Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne. "Tori and Lokita" tells the story of marginalized young immigrants, a boy and a teenage girl, set in a Belgian city. The Dardenne brothers will visit Korea for the first time for the event.

Meanwhile, the 24th Jeonju International Film Festival will be held from April 27th to May 6th in Jeonju Film Street and surrounding areas. Over the course of 10 days, 247 films from 42 countries will be screened, with 38 Korean short films also available online.
