Actor Jung Il-woo has been invited to an ongoing international television festival in China.

Jung, who is best known for his TV series "High Kick!" (MBC, 2006-2007) and "The Moon Embracing the Sun" (MBC, 2012), has been set to attend the closing ceremony of the 18th Shanghai Television Festival on June 15, Jung's agency Management Soop said in a press release.

The festival, established in 1986, is the first and one of the largest TV and film events in the region that holds awards ceremony, program market and forums in one platform.

The organizers' invitation to Jung is not a full surprise as the actor has recently began making appearances in Chinese TV shows.

Aside from his Korean dramas "Cool Guys, Hot Ramen" (tvN, 2011) and "The Moon" airing in the country, he guest starred on Hunan TV's variety talk show "Tian Tian Xiang Shang" last month.

Jung began strengthening his position as one of the top stars in the neighboring countries by starring in sitcom "High Kick!," "The Return of Iljimae"(MBC, 2009) and "49 Days"(SBS, 2011), which all became huge hits in Asia.

In May, the actor signed an exclusive contract with talenthouse Management Soop, which also manages the careers of top stars Jeon Do-youn, Gong Yoo and Kong Hyo-jin.
