Ha Ji Won’s movie ‘Sector 7′ hits big on the box office in China


Director Kim Ji Hoon‘s movie ‘Sector 7‘ has been released in China, and has set the highest box office record than any other Korean movie before!

According to investment distributor CJ E&M on the 19th, the movie opened at 4,000 movie theaters across China and raked in an impressive 23,800,000 Yuan (roughly 43,000,000 Korean Won, or 3.6 million USD).

Ahead of the movie release, actress Ha Ji Won who plays the main character has visited Shanghai and Beijing in order to further promote the new film.

Ha Ji Won is a well-known actress in China for her roles in ‘Memories in Bali‘, as well as ‘Secret Garden‘, and therefore she played a large role in effectively advertising ‘Sector 7‘.

The movie was released in China on the 6th under the name ‘深海之戰’, and it was the #2 movie at the box office the first week, and was met with a similar response the second week as well.

‘Sector 7′ has been the most successful Korean movie to be released in China thus far, beating out ‘The Host‘ that previously raked in 16,000,000 Yuan, or 2.6 million USD.

Meanwhile, a CJ E&M representative remarked, “There are a lot of big movies that are being released in China this week, so we will have to wait and see if ‘Sector 7′ can continue to stay on top.”

JYJ's Jaejoong Holds Solo Fan Meet In Shanghai


JYJ's Jaejoong recently traveled to Shanghai, China to hold a solo fan meet in response to the love his Chinese fans gave him during his role on "Protect the Boss."

On December 10, Jaejoong met with 4,000 fans at the Shanghai International Gymnastics Center. Because all 4,000 seats were sold out as soon as tickets went on sale, about a thousand fans were reported to have stood outside the stadium in support of the star.

Sponsors of the fan meet revealed, "Chinese fans watched his drama online on SBS live instead of waiting for it to be broadcast in China later. JYJ's Jaejoong has such high popularity already, and his character as 'Cha Moowon' only amplified that further. About a thousand fans that couldn't purchase the tickets supported the star outside despite the cold weather, which surprised us all." 

Officials of C-JeS Entertainment added, "Thanks to Jaejoong's popularity, 'Protect the Boss' has been showing outstanding international sales. Fans from all over the world have been making endless requests for him to come and visit." 

Right from his arrival at the airport, Jaejoong was greeted by a thousand fans that eventually froze the airport, leading Jaejoong to exit through a special VIP hall.

During the fan meet, Jaejoong picked out handwritten questions by his fans and held a Q&A session. He also chose special fans through a lottery and personally called them up on their cell phones and even played games with them.

"I know that I have a lot of supporters in China, and I'm sorry that I can't visit often. Thank you so much for showing unchanging love during my visit. I promise to work hard to become a better actor and singer in the future," Jaejoong said.

Jaejoong is currently composing songs for JYJ's next album while reviewing potential dramas.
