The atmosphere of actress Song Hye-kyo's first occult film 'The Black Nuns' is unusual. It has already secured the top spot in pre-sales, and has been pre-sold in 160 countries overseas.
According to the 'The Black Nuns' team on the 17th, the work, which is generating anticipation with the fresh combination of Song Hye-kyo and Jeon Yeo-bin, has been pre-sold in 160 countries ahead of its release. Domestically, it is already ranked #1 in overall pre-sales.
The film is a sequel to 'The Priests', which opened a new chapter in Korean occult films, and is a new project from the film company JIB, which produced 'The Priests', 'The Day of the National Bankruptcy', 'Master', and 'Broker'.
This is also Song Hye-kyo's comeback to the screen after 10 years since 'My Brilliant Life' (2014). It tells the story of people who embark on a forbidden ritual to save a boy possessed by a powerful evil spirit. Director Kwon Hyuk-jae, known for 'Count' and 'The Solver', is at the helm.
As reported, the film has been pre-sold in 160 countries, and will be released simultaneously overseas, starting with Indonesia, Taiwan, and Mongolia on the 24th, followed by the Philippines on the 29th, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, and Laos on February 6, Singapore and Malaysia on February 13, and Vietnam on February 21, aiming to meet audiences around the world.
Despite her undefeated success in TV dramas, Song Hye-kyo has not performed well on the big screen, and has been actively promoting 'The Black Nuns' by appearing on various entertainment programs ahead of its release.
She made an appearance on the entertainment talk show 'You Quiz on the Block' for the first time in 23 years, and also showcased her candid talk on her close friend Davichi's Kang Min-kyung's YouTube show 'Kyang Min-kyung', and singer Jung Jae-hyung's YouTube 'Fairy Jae-hyung'. Her enthusiasm has garnered significant attention.
The film is set to be released on the 24th.
