I'm still not sure what year the film was made/released. It's is so poorly documented that it can only be described as being from circa 1978-1981.
The information at the Korean Movie Database link posted above by Dr Stinson seems accurate with regard both to the movie's production date of 1977 and its Seoul release date of October 14, 1978. The film was first mentioned (with a wildly inflated budget!) in Variety under the title CROC on December 8, 1976: 'CROC, a $6,167,000 budgeter, is a JAWS "sequel" on a crocodile basis and willl shoot in Thailand next month.' The 1981 date in numerous reference works of course refers specifically to the movie's theatrical release in the U.S.
