NEW, a movie distributor, said in a statement on Tuesday that Crazy Romance has been exported to 22 countries including Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Hong Kong since it opened at home on October 2.
While South Korean fantasy action-blockbuster films such as "Along with the Gods" and thriller films such as "Parasite" have attracted international moviegoers, romantic comedy films have targeted domestic fans who favor light-hearted stories to kill time.
"It is unusual for a South Korean romantic comedy film to be sold to more than 20 countries," an official from Contents Panda, the international distribution wing of NEW, was quoted as saying. The official said the film's comic story has created a code of sympathy.
Crazy Romance starring Kim Rae-won and Gong Hyo-jin has garnered 1.16 million moviegoers in the first six days of its opening, according to the Korea Film Council.
