Hello, Brother, also known as Little Brother, is a 2005 South Korean drama film directed by Lim Tai-hyung. The film starred Bae Jong-ok, Park Won-sang, and Park Ji-bin.

Production

Entertainment company MK Buffalo announced in August 2004 that it would invest ₩3.2 billion into the film, with ₩1.8 billion budgeted for production costs and ₩1.4 billion for marketing. In early September, the company began raising funds for production by public subscription over the internet, promising 80% minimum capital preservation and distribution of additional profits if domestic viewership exceeded 1.15 million.

However, on 8 September, South Korea's Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) intervened and ordered MK Buffalo to cease public fundraising, stating that the company had violated the Indirect Asset Management Business Act with its attempt to raise funds from the public without an asset management license, and possibly with its promise of capital preservation.

Filming began on 11 October, while the funding controversy was still ongoing, and by 15 November the company stated it was roughly halfway complete. By early January, filming had not yet ended, though it was said to be 90% complete, with a target release date in late April. One particularly difficult scene was the one in which character Han-byeol first received cancer treatment, filmed at Chung-Ang University Medical Center.
