has moved to resolve its ongoing management crisis by confirming that managing director Cho Jongkook has been dismissed and will be replaced by deputy director Kang Seung-ah.
The moves were voted on at Busan’s second general assembly of 2023 at the Busan Cinema Center today . Nam and Kang were appointed under an amendment to the festival’s regulations: “In the case an accident befalls the festival director, the program director, and in the case of the managing director, the deputy director, will take over the respective duties.
However, Huh did not return to the festival as it then emerged that he is being investigated by the Center for Gender Equality in Korean Cinema following a complaint by a festival employee over alleged sexual harassment. Busan said today in a statement that Lee sent a message to the festival’s board of directors and executive committee asking for their “unswaying resolution in supporting the film festival and the protection of the film festival employees, who are working diligently.” He also apologised for the current situation and said he believed it would be resolved with his resignation.
