The Ima Wa Ima Asian International Film Festival and Entertainment Special Awards is based in Osaka and “recognizes cinematic achievements in Asian Film, TV, and New Media.”
It is organized by the Global Maharlika in Kansai, Philippine Community Coordinating Council, the Kyomigaru Creative Collective Group, and the Korean Residents Union in Japan.
“It seeks to fortify good relations between nations and to foster collaborations in, not only filmmaking, but also, long-form content creation. The event is fostered by the Sumiyoshi Ward in Osaka--and the event takes place at the massive Sumiyoshi Main Hall,” according to its Facebook page.
Kim Ji-soo debuted as an actor in 2009 and starred in Korean dramas. He made a special appearance on GMA’s “Black Rider” in June 2024. He participated in another GMA drama, “Abot Kamay Na Pangarap.”
Through “Abot Kamay na Pangarap,” the observation was that he did not just showcase his versatility in acting but his adaptability in a different culture.
Kim Ji-soo will be flying to Japan next month to attend the ceremony.
