"April Snow" Starring Bae Yong-joon to be Shown in 10 Asian Countries

The movie "April Snow" starring Bae Yong-joon will open, perhaps concurrently, in 10 Asian countries in coming September. The distribution company of "April Snow" said Feb. 24 that it has already signed contracts with Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia, and is currently in talks with Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia and other Asian countries. The company said movie distribution companies in these countries want to release and promote "April Snow" concurrently with Korea.

"Each of these countries plans to market the movie according to our schedule. We have devised a detailed plan for holding press conferences for foreign journalists and launching a tour around Asia prior to the movie's release", said a person close to the company.

"April Snow", whose filming began on Feb. 4 in Samcheok of Gangwon Province, stars Bae Yong-joon and Son Ye-jin in the lead roles. It portrays a man and a woman who, after being betrayed by their former lovers, fall in dangerous and heart-wrenching love with each other.
