A Facebook post from The Celebrity Agency which manages the actress wrote Ms Fang had arrived safely at the opening ceremony of the film festival.
“Hong Hui Fang has arrived at Busan and is gracing the opening ceremony of the 27th Busan International Film Festival right now” the management said.
Ajoomma is premiering under the category of New Currents, which is the main competition segment of the entire film festival. As of the moment, the film is the third Singaporean movie to have this spectacular honour after Eric Khoo’s “Mee Pok Man” in 1995 and Royston Tan’s “15” in 2003.
