On September 13 (local time), Kim Go-eun attended the prestigious 49th Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) for the premiere of the film Love in the Big City. She was accompanied by her co-star Steve Sanghyun Noh and director E.oni.
Kim Go-eun unveiled a striking new look with a short haircut, an eye-catching change from her previous styles. She complemented her cropped hair with an elegant white dress that elegantly showcased her shoulder, resulting in a chic and graceful appearance.
The film Love in the Big City, presented in the TIFF Special Presentations section, follows the journey of Jae-hee (portrayed by Kim Go-eun), a free spirit who embraces life without constraints, and Heung-soo (played by Steve Sanghyun Noh), who has mastered the art of emotional detachment. Together, they explore their unique love story while cohabitating. This film is adapted from the episode “Jae-hee” in the novel of the same title by Park Sang-young, which achieved recognition as a Booker Prize finalist. In this narrative, Kim Go-eun’s character transitions from a carefree college student to an adult facing more serious life issues.
The Special Presentations section at TIFF highlights new works from celebrated directors and actors. Previous films showcased include Bong Joon-ho’s Mother (2009) and Parasite (2019), along with Park Chan-wook’s The Handmaiden (2016) and Kim Jee-woon’s The Age of Shadows (2016), all of which have received acclaim from both critics and audiences.
Love in the Big City had its official premiere along with a Q&A session at the Royal Alexandra Theatre. Additionally, a second screening and Q&A is scheduled for September 14 at the TIFF Bell Lightbox, offering further chances for viewers to engage with the film. The movie is set to hit theaters on October 1, a day earlier than initially expected.
