[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] Director Hong Sangsoo's 28th feature film, 'Top,' is set to be released on November 3, the film production company announced on the 21st.

'Top' was invited to the Icon section of the 27th Busan International Film Festival, following the Toronto International Film Festival and the San Sebastian International Film Festival, along with his previous work 'A Novel Writer's Film.' Actors Ki Joo-bong, Kwon Hae-hyo, Jo Yoon-hee, and Park Mi-so attended the opening ceremony on the 5th.

Regarding the film, Kwon Hae-hyo said, "This film contains the longest long-take scenes among Director Hong Sangsoo's works," adding, "I hope people remember that every scene captures moments when all the actors were truly immersed, making it a fiercely crafted film."

Lee Hye-young said, "When you appear in the director's films, you seem to act well. You can see a side of me that has never been seen anywhere else. That might be because of the long takes, or maybe because of the lines, or the magic created by some rest, some time."
