Film Jackal is Coming has recently been sold to six countries, including Japan and Thailand.
On November 8, Lotte Entertainment reported that film Jackal is Coming has been sold to Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei before its release in Korea.
The biggest reason for the overseas sales of the film is that it stars JYJ’s Jae Joong, who is popular in Asia, South America, and Europe, and Song Ji Hyo, who is popular for her regular appearance on SBS TV’s Running Man.
The Japanese distribution company of the film says, “Jae Joong is one of the most popular Korean singers in Japan. We’re expecting that the film will become a box office hit because he’s a good actor and he appears as a top celebrity in the film.”
Jackal is Coming is a film about things happening after legendary killer Bong Min Jung (played by Song Ji Hyo) receives a request to kill top celebrity Choi Hyun (played by Jae Joong). It will be released on November 15.

[NEWS] 121108 Song Ji Hyo, Kim Jae Joong’s ‘The Jackal is Coming’ Sold to Six Countries
Despite the fact that The Jackal is Coming has yet to premiere, the movie is already proving to be an in-demand one abroad.
The movie’s distributor, Lotte Entertainment, revealed on November 8 that the movie had already been sold to six different countries – Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei.
The export agreement, made even before the movie’s release, is said to be largely in due to the popularity of Kim Jae Joong from both his solo and group activities with JYJ as well as Song Ji Hyo’s growing recognition from the popular SBS variety show, Running Man.
Many overseas distributors also commented interest is high in the movie as it marks Kim Jae Joong’s first starring role in a major motion picture.

Hello…..It’s stated Malaysia there…YaaaHooooo *jumping up and down 😀
I’m happy for you and all other countries on the list but I’m crying of envy, why my dear country is not there 😦
Please Philippine cinemas go and call Lotte Entertainment!

What should we do??? Gather all JYJers and kpop lovers and send a request letters to all cinemas??? How about that?
I want you to be able to see Jae movie too….

I still have my hopes high, it’s still a pre-screening sale, I hope Korean viewers will make it a really huge blockbuster, who knows the Koreans (which are growing significantly even here in our city which is far from the capital) here in the Philippines will make the requests themselves 🙂 .

What about the fans in other countries though? :s are there any ways to get it in DVD or something? :s
“The biggest reason for the overseas sales of the film is that it stars JYJ’s Jae Joong…”
JJ is not the ‘biggest reason’; he’s the ONLY reason!!!
Whooaaa… Indonesiaaaaa…!!!
I’m craving JJ since I met him last week T____T
How about we also sell to the United States. I’m not a big theater-going person, but I would definitely go see this one. Yes, please?!!!
On a side note, I was looking at the poster and for some reason had the most random thought. Anyone else notice that, even though Song Ji Hyo looks all sorts of beautiful and sexy in the poster, she’s still sporting her trademark “Mung Ji Hyo” blank expression… sort of…? I guess that’s why we all love her. Can’t wait to see this movie!
can’t believe Brunei… can’t wait to watch it
