The films, ranging from emotional and
psychological to action, history and mystery, are expected to help Vietnamese
audiences learn more about the RoK, as well as bringing the RoK and
international friends an interesting experience of the history, land and people
of Vietnam.
All eight of the Korean films being
introduced at the festival have recently been screened in the RoK, including
‘Minh thich nhau di’ (Like for Likes), ‘Tham tu Hong Gil Dong’ (Phantom
Detective), and ‘Okja’.

production via smartphones will be held.
The festival is part of the ongoing 2017 Ho
Chi Minh City – Gyeongju World Cultural Festival, held from November 11 to
