Talking about the film, KDDI, who acquired the rights to release the movie in Japan, revealed, “Most Korean films that release in Japan at the moment are action films, targeting male audiences. However, many female audiences are also passionate about K-content due to the influx of K-drama and K-pop. We have always wanted to target those female audiences and Love in The Big City was just what we were looking for.”
