Film "Gentleman," featuring actors Ju Ji-hoon and Park Sung-woong, has been sold to 42 countries across the world, its distributor said Thursday.
According to Contents Panda, the list of countries includes Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Russia and Poland. The film is slated for release in Taiwanese theaters on Jan. 6, Vietnamese theaters on Jan. 27 and Mongolian theaters on Feb. 9.
"'Gentleman' has steadily attracted attention from film distributors across the globe since its launch at the 2022 Cannes Market," a Contents Panda official said in a statement.
The crime comedy film centers on a private detective named Ji Hyun-soo (Ju) who is falsely accused of kidnapping his client. Ji disguises himself as a prosecutor to chase Kwon Do-hoon (Park), an alleged mastermind of kidnapping and sex trafficking crimes.
It is local streaming platform Wavve's first original film and currently playing in theaters. "Gentleman" will be available on the platform at a later date, but the release schedule has not been decided yet.
