-I really enjoyed 'Exhuma' and even watched it several times. I'm curious which parts of the movie resonated with people in these countries? I mean, it's so Korean... Maybe being Korean is universal?
-Wow... 'Exhuma' exceeded 3M viewers in Malaysia? That's crazyㅋㅋㅋ
-How did it get so many viewers in Malaysia?ㅋㅋㅋ
-It's making waves in Southeast Asia...
-This is amazing... Now, they should give us the sequel of 'Exhuma'
-It's fascinating how 'Exhuma' resonates well in Asia...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Occultism is quite similar everywhere in Asia. We also share similar histories with Southeast Asian countries. Besides, they really like horror movies.
-I find it really fascinating how foreigners can empathize with this movie.
-It's both happy and sad that it's popular in Southeast Asia. Maybe they understand the sentiment of the movie because they too have been colonized?
-No way... I'm curious about the reviews.
-Director Jang should be locked up until he comes up with a prequel or sequel of 'Exhuma'

-Wow, no way... it's really amazing.
-Wow, this is incredible.
