The movie "Highway Star" starring actor Cha Tae-hyun has recently been sold to Japan following its sale to Thailand, Malaysia and Brunei. The movie, which captivated Korean viewers earlier this year with its comic plot and cheerful soundtrack, was sold to the Japanese company AVEX. As a record and DVD company, AVEX mostly imports European art films. But this time the firm offered to buy "Highway Star" because it enchanted the company's staff when they watched it at the Cannes Film Festival.
