Although many stars graced the event, it was the appearance of the "Snowdrop" co-stars that made the fans ecstatic.

Jung Hae-in and Jisoo starred in the 2021 South Korean drama as the lead characters Lim Soo-ho and Eun Yeong-ro, respectively.

Set in 1987, when South Korea was under a dictatorial government, "Snowdrop" centered on lovers who first met on a blind date.

Jisoo, who played the role of an English literature major, won awards for her performance as Yeong-ro. The BLACKPINK member was named best new actress at the second DDU Korean Drama Awards in Thailand as well as outstanding Korean actress at the 2022 Seoul International Drama Awards, among many others.

"Smugglers" is set in the 1970s, with the story revolving around a haenyeo (female diver) who gets caught up in smuggling within a small peaceful village by the sea.

"Smugglers" is helmed by director-writer Ryoo Seung-wan, penned by writer Kim Jeong-yeon, and produced by Kang Hye-jeong. It is slated to hit theaters in South Korea Wednesday.

It stars Kim Hye-soo as smuggler Jo Chun-ja, Yum Jung-ah as the lead's best friend, Zo In-sung as a smuggling king, Kim Jong-soo as a customs officer, Go Min-si as a coffee shop owner who collects information about smuggling operations, and Park Jeong-min as the youngest among the deep sea divers turned smugglers.

Joining the supporting characters as female divers are Park Kyung-hye, Kim Jae-hwa, Park Jun-myeon, and Joo Bo-bi.
