[E-Daily Starin Choi Hee-jae Reporter] Actor Byun Yo-han, who delivered a groundbreaking performance in the film "A Trip to Gyeongju," will join the cast for a stage greeting.

Distributor Lotte Entertainment announced on the 2nd, “For the third-week stage greetings taking place on the 13th, actors Park So-dam, Lee Yeon, and Byun Yo-han—who heightened the film’s tension and immersion with their multidimensional performances—along with director Kim Mi-jo, will visit theaters to express their gratitude to the audience.”
In particular, Byun Yo-han’s participation in the stage greeting is drawing attention. Byun Yo-han garnered attention for appearing in *Gyeongju Journey* without a fee. He played Baek Sang-hyun, the target of revenge for the four mothers and daughters in the film and a character shrouded in mystery, drawing viewers in with his intense performance. To fully capture the character’s chilling persona, he put great effort into his physical appearance—sporting messy hair, a scruffy beard, and rough skin, and even personally wearing a mouthpiece to discolor his teeth.

Previously, he expressed his deep affection for the film on his social media, stating, “Korean films are made within fixed budgets and environments, with countless people working together to find meaning in every single scene. *A Journey to Gyeongju* was made in exactly that way.” He added, “I hope the love for this film becomes the potential for another film and serves as the driving force that allows for the continued creation of more diverse stories and characters within Korean cinema, all while being treated with respect.”
Starting with CGV Yongsan I’Park Mall, Director Kim and the cast will visit major theaters in Seoul—including CGV Wangsimni, Megabox Gui East Pole, Megabox COEX, and Lotte Cinema World Tower—to interact directly with audiences and share a meaningful time together.
Confirmed quickly amid unceasing praise since its first week of release, this third-week stage greeting is expected to be a welcome gift for fans and audiences who have been eagerly awaiting *Gyeongju Journey*. The detailed schedule for the stage greetings can be found on each theater’s website and mobile app, as well as on Lotte Entertainment’s official social media channels.
“Gyeongju Trip” is a family revenge drama about four women—a mother and her three daughters—who, after eight years of waiting, embark on a “killer” trip for their youngest daughter, Gyeongju (played by Hwang Hyun-jung), who never returned from her school field trip. Byun Yo-han plays Baek Sang-hyun, the man the four women seek revenge against—a character shrouded in mystery.
Despite the dominance of foreign films, “Gyeongju Journey” has firmly maintained its No. 1 spot at the Korean box office thanks to enthusiastic word of mouth. With stage greetings confirmed through its third week of release, the film continues its “amazing” encounters with audiences and is currently playing in theaters nationwide.
