Kim Ha-neul to promote film "Agent" in Asia

Hallyu star Kim Ha-neul is set to tour Asia to promote her film "My Girlfriend is an Agent", according to her agency on Thursday.

The actress will leave for Vietnam on Saturday, where she will attend a red carpet event a day ahead of the release of the film in the country, then attend premieres and hold press conferences afterwards, J. Plus One said in a press release.

From October 26 to 31, Kim will visit Singapore and Hong Kong, where she is scheduled to give a stage greeting to fans and hold interviews with the media.

"This promotion tour will be an opportunity for the long-awaited Asian fans to communicate with Kim Ha-neul and for Kim herself to develop herself in becoming an international star."" an official at J. One Plus was quoted as saying.

The 31-year-old actress shared her hopes as well. "I'm already excited about meeting the fans in Asia. I hope the tour will be a chance to show the power of a Korean actress."

Kim, one of the most successful actresses in Korea, has starred in numerous hit TV dramas and movies, including SBS TV series "On Air" last year and hit film "My Tutor Friend" in 2003 with fellow Hallyu star Kwon Sang-woo.

"Agent", a comedy action film co-starring Kang Ji-hwan, is about a couple who are both hiding from each other about being secret government agents.
