movie starring a member of the Hallyu star group EXO has been approved for theater screening in China.

Director Park Hee-gon, who directed the movie'Myeongdang', grabs a megaphone and is the movie'Ae Myo Sung-in,' starring Sehun, a member of the idol group EXO.
It is a fantasy product depicting the love of a man who goes back and forth between a man and a cat.
This film has already been produced in 2017, but it has not been approved for screening in the meantime due to the Chinese Korean Wave ban triggered by THAAD since March of that year.
It is the norm in the movie industry that the appearance of Hallyu star EXO was the cause of the ban on screening.
However, from the 14th, four years later, screenings in China have been fully approved.
Chinese distributors said they plan to provide online video services as well as national theater releases.
Chinese media also publicized the fact that a member of the Korean idol group, EXO, played the lead role.

Some media reported that the Han-Ryeong was lifted altogether over the release of this movie.
Earlier, China gave new licenses to Korean games one after another.
