Jay Jeon, who has been director of the Busan International Film Festival since 2018, is to step down at the end of the month. The move was said to have surprised colleagues at the festival.
His three-year contract will expire at the end of January, and he will not seek its renewal. A senior source at the festival told
Variety that management will meet towards the end of February to decide his successor.

Jeon announced the unexpected decision on his personal Facebook account with text written in both Korean and English. “I will be leaving the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) as of 31st January 2021 to pastures new after 25 years, time which has mostly been happy and rewarding although some of it was peppered with some painful moments,” Jeon wrote.

Kim Ki-duk, an influential film director whose career was tarnished by accusations that he had sexually assaulted several women, died on Friday at a hospital in Latvia due to coronavirus complications. He was 59.
Kim, whose films won him a Silver Bear in Berlin, an Un Certain Regard award in Cannes and a Golden Lion in Venice, enjoyed his biggest successes at European film festivals. But he failed commercially, leaving audiences divided over his depiction of extreme violence and dark content.
