The film Method acting has been sold to 80 countries worldwide and is drawing attention on the international stage.

According to distributor BY4M Studio on the 26th, releases are being prepared in the United States, Canada, Taiwan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Mongolia, and more, with additional rollouts via VOD services across Asia, Africa, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania.

Method acting follows a comedy actor who becomes excessively immersed in a role while searching for authenticity in their craft. Lee Dong-hwi leads the film. Having built recognition with work across films, dramas, and variety shows, Lee now expands his stage to the global market with this project.

Meanwhile, Vietnamese and Indonesian distributor Runup Vietnam said, "We expect this role to be an important turning point in Lee Dong-hwi’s career and a chance to showcase his many sides," praising his passionate performance. They added, "The distinctive premise and the ensemble of powerhouse actors will resonate deeply with audiences," expressing high expectations.
