Korean comedienne Cho Hye-ryun is set to appear in a Japanese film, according to her agency on Wednesday.
Cho had been cast to play the leading role in a film tentatively titled "Hear the Song of the Woods" and has already shot 60 percent of the movie, TN Entertainment said in a press release.
"Woods" tells the story of a Korean-Japanese music teacher who brings dreams and hopes to twelve students at a rural school which is about to shut down.
Korean actor Jeon Moo-song also has a supporting role in the otherwise entirely Japanese cast and crew. Cho speaks most of her lines in the movie in Japanese.
Cho Hye-ryun is one of the most successful and hard-working comedians in Korea. She has appeared on numerous comedy shows, dramas and has released a book and fitness video as well.
"Woods" is set for release next fall both in Japan and in Korea.
