Actor Lee Min-ho hosted two previews of his film “Gangnam 1970” in Japan, his agency Starhaus Entertainment said Wednesday.

“Gangnam 1970” tells the story of two vagabonds who try to cash in on the rapid development of southern Seoul in the 70s.
The movie, released earlier this year in Korea, was Lee’s big screen debut.
The movie, also known as “Gangnam Blues” was sold to 14 countries including China, Japan and Indonesia.
The movie will be released in Japan on Oct. 17.
According to Lee’s agency, the preview events drew more than 8,000 people and much attention from Japanese media.
“The event was the biggest of its kind held for a Korean movie in Japan,” a Starhaus Entertainment official said, adding that the movie was well-received by Japanese media.
