Korean film fans rejoice as GSC Mid Valley has something special just for you

The Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Malaysia will host the 2023 Korean Film Festival at GSC Mid Valley, Kuala Lumpur from 22 to 26 November 2023. Fans of K-dramas or just Korean media in general will be pleased to know that this festival represents the epitome of all entertainment they enjoy and can witness in person for literally next to nothing.

Films To Look Out For

This year, in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the Look East Policy between Korea and Malaysia, five films, “The Front Line” (2011), “Kai: The Legend of Mirror Lake” (2016), “Bori” (2018) , “Granny Poetry Club” (2019), “Tunnel” (2016), representing the core values of Korean public diplomacy, “Peace, Freedom, Solidarity and Prosperity,” have been carefully selected.

Moreover, in the launching ceremony of 2023 Korea Film Festival, the director of “The Lord Musang King,” the first film that was co-produced by Korea and Malaysia, will be on display as a concrete example of close friendship between two countries. This is not just a representation of how big Korean culture is in Malaysia but how similar our cultures are, in general.

Teamwork Makes The Dream Work

This collaboration is also significant as it brings together the globally successful Korean film industry with the Malaysian film industry, known for its diverse cultural background and enormous potential. It also helps put Malaysia on the map and shows off the prowess of our local talent and that we can compete and represent on a global scale.

On top of that all film screenings will be free and open to the public. Tickets are on a first-come, first-served basis and are redeemable from 12pm onwards on 16 November 2023 via GSC e-payment (website and mobile app) or GSC ticketing kiosk at GSC Midvalley Megamall, Kuala Lumpur and receive TWO complimentary tickets.
