On August 20, the Busan International Film Festival office announced that, in collaboration with the Korean Film Archive, it will host a special program titled "Beautiful Days, Ahn Sung-ki" during the festival that opens on October 6.

Six films will be screened, all personally selected by Ahn Sung-ki when he was approached with this project during his lifetime. The films are: "Good Windy Day" (1980) directed by Lee Jang-ho; "Whale Hunting" (1984) by Bae Chang-ho; "Chilsu and Mansu" (1988) by Park Kwang-su; "Gagman" (1989) by Lee Myung-se; "White Badge" (1992) by Chung Ji-young; and "Festival" (1996) by Im Kwon-taek. These films are representative of Korean cinema in the 1980s and 1990s and showcase the trajectory of collaboration Ahn Sung-ki forged with directors of the era.

There will also be conversations with the audience held in conjunction with the screenings. Directors Lee Jang-ho, Bae Chang-ho, Park Kwang-su, Lee Myung-se, and Chung Ji-young will be present to share behind-the-scenes stories about working with Ahn Sung-ki.

To coincide with the special exhibition, the festival will also publish a booklet titled "Between Adventure and Model, Actor of an Era: Ahn Sung-ki."
