Speaking at a promotional event in South Korea for his latest movie "The Myth," Chan said remarks attributed to him about the country's film industry were incorrect, the Apple Daily newspaper reported Saturday.
"I have lived in Korea for two years ... here, no one would believe that I am anti-Korea," Chan told the paper.
Chan denies he said South Korean stars were feted in the Chinese media, but the same could not be said for Chinese stars in South Korea. He also denies saying the success of South Korean productions was due less to their quality and more to their support from audiences at home.
South Korean popular culture, from TV series to pop idols, has taken Hong Kong and the rest of Asia by storm.
"The Myth" stars South Korean actress Kim Hee-seon as well as Indian screen siren Mallika Sherawat.
