Korean films sought after by Europe and Asia

European and Asian buyers closed deals on several Korean films' rights at the Berlin Film festival's market. Jeon Ji-hyeon's star power in Asia resulted in "A Man Who Was Superman" being sold to Hong Kong (Golden Scene), Thailand (J-Bics), and Singapore (Festive Films) by CJ Entertainment. The human interest drama was directed by Jeong Yoon-cheol and stars Hwang Jeong-min as a traumatised man.

German Splendid pre-bought the rights for "The Divine Weapon" and "Fate". CJ Entertainment also sold "Open City" and "Our Town" to Splendid.

"Fate" is an action noir starring Korean star kwon Sang-woo and Song Seung-heon. Kim Hae-gon directs the story about friends who turn to crime.

The historical drama "The Divine Weapon" stars Jeong Jae-yeong and is about the invention of an advanced weapon to defend a former Korean dynasty. JEONG frequently collaborated with celebrated director Jang Jin and his latest film is the comedy "Going by the Book". "Wild Card"'s director Kim Yoo-jin helmed the epic film.

"Open City" is currently in Korean cinemas. Director Lee Sang-gi's crime film stars Son Ye-jin and Kim Myeong-min. KIM plays a detective and SON a gang leader. The two get caught up in an affair.

In "Our Town", young talent Ryoo Deok-hwan plays a killer. Lee Seon-gyoon and Oh Man-seok also star in the tense thriller, and Jeong Gil-yeong directed.
