Minutes before "The Jakal is Coming" lead actor Kim Jae-joong and actress Song Ji-hyo arrived at the BIFF Village in Busan on Friday for the 17th Busan International Film Festival, teenage girls' scream and chanting of Kim's name began to fill the air.

Slated to open in local theaters next month, Kim and Song's new comedy pic tells an episode of a female killer kidnapping a popular idol star to murder him with a rather off-the-wall method. Before getting any blood on her hands, cops arrive to the scene.

Other celebrities who were brought to the stage last evening are Tang Wei, Ahn Seong-gi, So Ji-sub and Kwak Do-won.
