2nd Highest Price Paid for Domestic Film

A Japanese film importer has paid the second-highest amount for the rights to a domestic movie.

The film's producer, Popcorn Film, said SPO paid 5.4 billion won for the Romantic Comedy "Cheongchun Manhwa" ("Almost Love"), which is still in production, at the annual American Film Market in Santa Monica, California.

The amount is the second highest after the seven million dollars fetched by "April Snow" starring Bae Yong-joon.

"Cheongchun Manhwa" ("Almost Love"), which means "Spring of Life Comic", stars top actors Kwon Sang-woo and Kim Ha-neul.
