Lee Jong Suk and Moon Ga Young, the lead stars of the popular tvN drama Law and the City, are set to travel to Malaysia for a special finale screening event. The event will take place on August 10, 2025, the same day the final episode airs. Over 1,000 fans will get the chance to watch the last episode together with the actors in Kuala Lumpur.
This marks a rare occasion where a Korean drama finale screening is held outside South Korea, highlighting the growing global influence of K-dramas and the strong fanbase in Malaysia.
Event Details and Fan Experience
The finale screening will include a live viewing of the last episode followed by a press conference where Lee Jong Suk and Moon Ga Young will interact with fans. The exact venue and time are yet to be announced, but updates will be shared on tvN Asiaโs official social media channels.
“We are excited to bring this special event to Malaysia, where fans have shown incredible love for Law and the City. This is our way of thanking them for their support,” said a representative from the dramaโs production team.
Malaysia was chosen due to the dramaโs high popularity on local streaming platforms like Disney+ Hotstar Malaysia and Viki. Fans in the country have been actively requesting more engagement, leading to this unique overseas event.
Why Malaysia Was Selected
Malaysia has become one of the fastest-growing markets for K-dramas in Southeast Asia. The demand for Law and the City has been particularly strong, with fans praising its realistic portrayal of young lawyers.
“The passion of Malaysian fans is unmatched. Their enthusiasm made it clear that this event had to happen here,” an insider from tvN Asia shared.
Lee Jong Sukโs long-standing popularity as a Hallyu star also played a role in the decision. His previous dramas, including Big Mouth and While You Were Sleeping, have a massive following in Asia.
About Law and the City
Law and the City is a slice-of-life legal drama that follows five young lawyers working in Seoulโs Seocho legal district. Unlike traditional courtroom dramas, it focuses on their personal struggles, friendships, and daily challenges.
- Lee Jong Suk plays Ahn Ju-hyeong, a skilled but emotionally detached lawyer.
- Moon Ga Young stars as Kang Hui-ji, an idealistic junior attorney.
- The supporting cast includes Kang You-seok, Ryu Hye-young, and Im Seong-jae.
The drama premiered on July 6, 2025, and has been airing every Saturday and Sunday on tvN. Ratings have been steadily rising, with the latest episode hitting 6.1% (Nielsen Korea).
Fan Reactions and Excitement
Fans in Malaysia are eagerly waiting for the event, with many expressing their excitement on social media.
“I canโt believe Lee Jong Suk is coming to Malaysia! This is a dream come true,” tweeted one fan.
“The fact that they chose Malaysia for the finale screening shows how much they value international fans,” wrote another.
Tickets or passes for the event have not been announced yet, but fans are advised to stay updated through official channels.
The Significance of an Overseas Finale Screening
While drama finale screenings are common in South Korea, hosting one internationally is rare. This move reflects the global expansion of K-dramas and the increasing importance of international audiences.
The success of Law and the City in Malaysia has set a precedent for more overseas fan events in the future.

With only a few episodes left, fans are anticipating major developments in the story. The drama has been praised for its character growth and emotional depth, making the finale highly anticipated.
