"Lolita", a fiction by Vladimir Nabokov that has generated widely mixed reviews from critics and mainstream readers, is often - rightly or not - synonymous with pedophiles. Debates about the film version are also never in short supply.

Similar heated shouting matches are playing out over "Jenny, Juno", a Korean movie which depicts puppy love between minors - and an unexpected pregnancy. The exact age: a 15-year-old girl and boy attending a typical junior high school.

Although Moon does not strictly fit the definition, her image as an irresistible kid is inspiring other producers and directors to recruit young actresses.

For instance, "Lovely Rivals" ("Yeoseonsang vs. Yeojeja") which will be released tomorrow nationwide, features Lee Se-yeong as an elementary school student who confronts her teacher played by Yeom Jeong-a.
