SEOUL -- "Swing Kids," an upcoming dance film starring Do Kyung-soo, a member of K-pop boy band EXO, has been sold in advance to 23 countries including the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, Singapore and Malaysia, its distributor said Monday.

Next Entertainment World (NEW) said that the film directed by Kang Hyeong-cheol would be released in South Korean on December 19, North America on December 21 and Oceania on January 10.

It depicts a story at a U.S.-controlled prison camp in 1951 on the southern island of Geoje, which once held hundreds of thousands of North Korean and Chinese prisoners of war. Do takes the role of Ro Ki-soo, a North Korean soldier who falls in love with tap dancing after meeting Jackson (Jared Grimes), an American Army sergeant from Broadway,

Jackson forms a five-member tap dance team for a Christmas performance event. Ki-soo joins the team with a special mission to assassinate the top American commander but he eventually befriends his four teammates. The story's tragic end symbolizes the 1950-53 Korean war and bitter ideological division between the two Koreas.
