Hong Kong actor Tony Leung will present a special gift to Korean fans this winter. Known for his expressive eyes, Tony Leung will visit Korea with his notable works. From December 18 to 31, 11 of his films will be screened at CGV Arthouse.

Remastered versions will also be showcased, including a total of six films: "Infernal Affairs," "Infernal Affairs 3," "Chungking Express," "In the Mood for Love," "Happy Together," and "2046." Fans can enjoy the clear aura of Tony Leung.

Other films to be revealed include "The Longest Nite," "Eagle Shooting Heroes," "Ashes of Time Redux," "Buenos Aires Zero Degree," and "Lust, Caution." Among them, "The Longest Nite" is personally recommended by Tony Leung and is being screened in theaters domestically for the first time, adding significance.

Tony Leung represents Hong Kong cinema. Debuting in a TV series in 1982, he led the golden era of Hong Kong films from the 1990s. His trademark is his soulful, deep gaze and a unique atmosphere. He is also well-known as the persona for legendary directors Wong Kar-wai and John Woo. The film that made him a global star was "In the Mood for Love." He became the first Hong Kong actor to win Best Actor at the 53rd Cannes Film Festival.

Tony Leung's challenges are ongoing. Last April, he returned to the screen with "Goldfinger." It was a minor villain role in his filmography. He shed his graceful image to powerfully portray a greedy economic offender.
