The reason English title of ‘Outing’ became ‘April Snow’
It has been decided that movie ‘Outing’ will be released abroad with the title ‘April Snow”. The movie ‘Outing’ starring BYJ and Son Yejin (directed by Huh Jinho and produced by Blue Storm) will have an English title of ‘April Snow’ and a Japanese title of ‘四月の雪’(April Snow).
Blue Storm, the production company, which confirmed the English title ‘April Snow’ from the beginning, has been agonizing over its Japanese title and recently decided on ‘四月の雪’, which is the direct translation of ‘April Snow’ in Japanese.
An official from Blue Storm relayed that English title ‘April Snow’, which has a totally different meaning from its Korean title ‘Outing’, was one of many Korean titles that director Huh has had in mind from the start.
The idea came from the scene where Suhyoung (Son Ye Jin) in the movie answered, “I like spring, but I also like snow in the winter, so I wish it snowed in the spring.”, when asked by Insoo(Bae Yong Jun) which season was her favorite.
Blue Storm revealed that director Huh went over many titles including ‘April Snow’ before he decided on the Korean title ‘Outing’, and used ‘April Snow’ as its English title as he kept it in mind.
A source at Blue Storm said, “The movie will have director Huh’s trade-mark calm and lyrical feeling. They also chose English and Japanese titles that can uphold such feeling.”
Director Huh also used metaphoric and lyrical ‘Christmas in August’ as the title of his previous movie starring Hah Sukgyoo and Shim Eunha.
On a different note, as movie ‘Outing’ plans to open the set to domestic and foreign press around the end of March in an unprecented scale, the production company is currently working hard on how to proceed the event.
