Rising Star Lee Jin Shines at the Jeonju International Film Festival with ‘House of Meeting’

Actress Lee Jin continues to solidify her status as one of Korea’s most promising talents with her recent role in the poignant indie film ‘House of Meeting’. Officially invited to the 26th Jeonju International Film Festival under the Korean Cinema Section, the film went on to win the prestigious Film Opening Support Award from the Cineteca Nacional de México. This award, selected in partnership between the festival and the Mexican national archive, supports the international release of one standout Korean feature film each year.

‘House of Meeting‘ tells the story of a 15-year veteran female prison officer who meets a young daughter of an inmate. Through their heart-wrenching and healing exchanges, both characters gradually face their emotional wounds and inner transformations. Lee Jin‘s portrayal of the quirky but endearing inmate, Seong Min-ji, resonated deeply with audiences, earning her recognition as a scene-stealer in the festival circuit.

Lee Jin has been steadily building her filmography since her debut, displaying raw talent and a distinct personal charm. She left lasting impressions in independent features like ‘Sehee‘, which won the Pium Choice Award at the Women’s Rights Film Festival. Her versatility has also shone in television drama performances, including hit series ‘Shroop’, ‘Vigilante’, ‘Queenmaker’, and ‘History of Losers’. In ‘House of Meeting’, Lee delivers what critics are calling her most mature and emotionally layered performance yet.

With several new projects already wrapped, Lee Jin continues to prove herself as a fearless and nuanced actress, breathing energy and sincerity into every role she plays. Her rising trajectory suggests we’re only witnessing the beginning of what promises to be a remarkable career.
