Police Detain 3 Over Theft of Blockbuster Haeundae

Police Thursday took into custody three people on charges of uploading pirated copies of South Korean summer blockbuster "Haeundae" on the Internet.

An investigation began earlier this month following a request by the film's largest investor and distributor CJ Entertainment.

Police said the film was leaked in the process of a version for the disabled being produced.

The big-budget disaster flick about a tsunami that hits a popular beach in the Korean port city of Busan drew more than 10 million viewers, becoming the fifth South Korean movie to reach the milestone.
