Eugene all chummy with Korean pop star Heechul

MANILA, Philippines – The cast and crew of the upcoming film feature, "Kimmy Dora and The Temple of Kiyeme," have just finished work in Seoul and are on their way back to Manila.

According to a report on abscbnnews.com, the Koreans fawned over the Filipino stars during the short visit, with film director Joyce Bernal herself even getting interviewed by the Korean Broadcasting System or KBS.

“The scenery is interesting. There is the traditional and there’s the modern. There is like two worlds in Seoul,” Bernal was quoted as saying in the interview.

In a separate interview, Bernal as with the film’s star, Eugene Domingo,expressed their satisfaction over the outcome of the Korean sojourn, noting how the winter season afforded them to shoot several scenes in a blanket of snow.

Adding another facet to the visit is the meeting between the cast members and Super Junior singer, Kim Hee-chul.

Model-host-actress Alodia Gosiengfiao, who's also part of the film, tweeted about their group’s encounter with the singer, posting, “Heechul (Super Junior) and I are ok now! ^.^ http://tinyurl.com/6tyeejp Earlier at our wrap-up party before heading back home."

Several photos of the get-together now circulate online.

In "Kimmy Dora and The Temple of Kiyeme," the sequel to "Kimmy Dora: Kambal sa Kiyeme" in 2009, Domingo will once again portray both Kimmy and Dora, as they try to find love in South Korea.

The movie is set for release by year's end.
