The Film Concert is Planned to Export to the World Stage, the First Step in Globalizing K-Movie Music

The 18th Jecheon International Music & Film Festival will hold a film concert with a large orchestra. The film concert is an event you listen to the soundtracks through orchestra live performance while watching the movies. At the Jecheon International Music & Film Festival this year, the film One Fine Spring Day (music by Cho Sungwoo / directed by Hur Jinho), starring Yoo Jitae and Lee Youngae, and the film Leafie, A Hen into the Wild (music by Lee Ji-su / directed by Oh Sungyun), the representative K-animation, will be screened with their OSTs. Also, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of its release, E.T (music by John Williams / directed by Steven Spielberg) is screened with its OST in the film concert.

The Jecheon International Music & Film Festival said, "We will hold this film concert to promote K-Movie music to the world. Starting this year, we will produce an original Korean film concert every year, and we will premiere it during the festival and export it to the world."
