Ryu Hyunkyung's Dark Comedy 'Dog Fight' Selected for Busan Asian Project Market

Actor-director Ryu Hyunkyung will bring her latest project, "Dog Fight," to the Asian Project Market at the Busan International Film Festival. The dark comedy centers on a woman who loses custody of the dog she shared with her ex-boyfriend and decides to steal him back. Kim Sehun, producer of "The World of Love," is backing the project.

Ryu previously directed "Don't Go Back" and now steps into a comedic thriller premise that blends relationship fallout with pet custody disputes. The film's selection highlights the market's focus on distinctive voices from across Asia.

The Asian Project Market runs within the Busan International Film Festival's Asian Contents & Film Market, providing a platform for projects seeking co-production and financing partners. "Dog Fight" joins a slate of projects aiming to connect with international distributors and collaborators.
