She lit up the 11th Marie Claire Film Festival, held at Yongsan CGV on April 27, by receiving the Pioneer Award.

After the award presentation, Kim Go Eun engaged in a heartfelt chat with the audience.

Released on February 22 and drawing in 11.85 million viewers, ‘Exhuma’ received widespread praise for Kim Go Eun’s portrayal of the shaman character, Hwaryeom.
Her interpretation and solid acting skills, honed through ongoing interaction with professional shamans, were particularly noteworthy.
Kim Go Eun’s mesmerizing performance, especially during the ritual scene where she dances with a knife as if possessed, is considered a highlight of the film.
