Ajooma, the highly anticipated film about a Korean drama-obsessed widow from Singapore trying to find new objective in life and ends up getting dropped in Korea, has been selected to compete and have its planet premiere at the 27th Busan International Film Festival (BIFF), which starts on April 7.
The first-ever Singapore-South Korea co-production stars veteran Singaporean actress Hong Huifang in her very first film role, together with several popular K-drama names, including Jung Dong-hwan (Mine, Resort Del Luna), Kang Hyung-suk (Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, Crashing Landing On You) and Yeo Jin-goo (Hotel De Luna, Beyond Evil). Singaporean actor Shane Pow is also within the cast, playing Hong’s son.
