ATEEZ's Hongjoong attended the Jeonji International Film Festival as a music director.
On the 7th, Hongjoong attended the 27th Jeonju International Film Festival held at CGV Jeonju Gosa and met fans through a GV (Guest Visit) session.
The Jeonju International Film Festival is a non-competitive film festival that introduces alternative trends in the contemporary cinema, as well as leading independent and art films. The film 'Hallucination' received a special screening in the festival's largest theater. Hongjoong attended the event as the film's main music director.
'Hallucination' tells the story of Ralphie, a fashion editor living an AI-like life, who gives personality to an AI named Cole and eventually falls in love with it.
During the event, Hongjoong spent meaningful time with the audience at a close distance by introducing the music, answering questions, and sharing stories related to the project.
Hongjoong said, "I'm honored to participate as the music director for a film through such a great opportunity. It was a very meaningful project. I gained a lot of inspiration watching the process of the film being filled with the music I worked on and the new sounds I created."
He continued, "I hope Korean independent films can reach even more people," and added, "I want to continue taking on new kinds of projects in various ways in the future."
Hongjoong worked on the track 'BLEEDING LIGHT,' written from the perspective of Ralphie, the protagonist who begins to develop emotions he shouldn't toward the AI character.
For 'NOTHING LEFT,' a song featured in the film's ending that expresses the fundamental sense of discomfort, Hongjoong not only produced the song but also participated directly in the vocals.
Hongjoong has continued to expand his activities across various fields. He was selected as a global ambassador for World Vision's Global 6K for Water campaign and also served as an honorary falconer at an Los Angeles FC match held at BMO Stardium.
Meanwhile, 'Hallucination,' the film which Hongjoong participated as music director, stars his older brother Beomjoong as the lead actor.
