Korean film “Secretly, Greatly” will be released overseas, according to the movie’s producer Showbox/Mediaplex.
The film, starring national heartthrob Kim Soo-hyun in the lead, tells the story of three young and attractive North Korean spies who disguise themselves as a rock musician, a high school student, and an intellectually challenged young man, in South Korea. It is based on the popular 2010 webtoon series “Convertness” by artist HUN.
The movie will be released in the U.S. and Singapore on July 19 and will hit theaters in Canada and Taiwan on July 26, according to Showbox. It is also opening in theaters in Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Indonesia, and may be released in China, Vietnam and Thailand, Showbox/Mediaplex said.
“Secretly, Greatly” was released in Korea on June 5, and has drawn more than 6 million viewers. It broke several box office records in the country, by becoming the fastest film to reach the 1 million mark in viewers as well as the highest grossing webtoon-based film.
The film also has been invited to the New York Asian Film Festival, which is slated to be held June 28 to July 15, and Fantasia International Film Festival, which will be held in Montreal, Canada, in August.
