The team behind the movie 'Smugglers' (directed by Ryu Seung-wan) made a hot appearance at the 48th Toronto International Film Festival.

On the 13th (local time), the 'Smugglers' team attended the 48th Toronto International Film Festival at the Roy Thomson Hall in Canada. Director Ryu Seung-wan, actors Yum Jung-ah, Park Jung-min, and Go Min-si graced the red carpet.

The atmosphere at the event was electric, and the director and actors responded with relaxed smiles to the enthusiastic media coverage. In particular, Yum Jung-ah stole the spotlight by wearing a traditional Korean hanbok.

'Smugglers' was presented in the Gala Presentation section, with over 2,500 audience members in attendance. Director Ryu expressed his joy, saying, "I am delighted to introduce the film at the Toronto Film Festival, where the world's best audiences gather."

Cameron Bailey, the Festival's Executive Director, praised the film, stating, "'Smugglers' is a film that brings joy to the audience. It has an excellent cast. I'm happy to present this year's most successful Korean summer blockbuster in North America."

Foreign media reactions were also positive. Variety commented, "Director Ryu Seung-wan finds a clever way to bring six female actresses to the center of an elaborate smuggling operation."

The Arts Fuse said, "Director Ryu is a person who makes the unbelievable possible in films," adding that 'Smugglers' is full of fun and provides various perspectives on the era.

The actors interacted with fans at the GV event. Yum Jung-ah shared, "I didn't know how to swim before filming. I worked hard on underwater training for a few months because I wanted to do 'Smugglers'."

Park Jung-min mentioned, "Jang Dori has a unique sense of humor. I followed Director Ryu Seung-wan and became this character. I'm grateful to the viewers who enjoyed watching Jang Dori."

Go Min-si expressed her happiness, saying, "I'm delighted whenever I see the audience laugh during scenes where Okbooni is active. I sincerely thank you for laughing today as well."

'Smugglers' is an oceanic crime action film that tells the story of people who make a living by salvaging goods thrown into the sea. When a big game unfolds, they get caught up in an incident.
