Kim Sehun backs Ryu Hyunkyung dark comedy Dog Fight at Busan Asian Project Market
Producer Kim Sehun supports actor-director Ryu Hyunkyung's dark comedy Dog Fight as part of the Asian Project Market during the Busan International Film Festival.
Ex-couple battles over pet custody
The film follows a woman who loses legal custody of her dog after eight years with an ex-boyfriend. She decides to snatch the animal back when visitation rights are denied by the other parent. The story escalates into a three-way conflict involving a younger friend who intervenes in the dispute.
Legal view treats dogs as property
Ryu notes that current laws classify a dog shared for eight years as property rather than family. One ex-partner wants ownership through paperwork while the other claims to be the mother of the pet. The director states that no one can truly own another person in this context.
Director examines human possessiveness
Ryu Hyunkyung writes and directs the project while also starring in the lead role. She explains that the battle over the dog ultimately reveals how people act out of possessiveness. The film aims to show that love is not defined by ownership or control.
