"The Man Who Lives with the King" is a movie about Cheongryeongpo in 1457, a village chief who claimed to be exiled for the revival of the village, and a young predecessor who was expelled from the throne and exiled, and exceeded 3 million cumulative viewers on the 17th, the day of the Lunar New Year.
"The Man Who Lives with the King," which was released in advance on the 4th ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday, went viral and met the largest audience for the holiday. The movie, which features the unique colors of director Jang Hang-joon along with the power of actors such as Yoo Hae-jin, Park Ji-hoon, Yoo Ji-tae, Jeon Mi-do, and Lee Joon-hyuk, is attracting audiences amid favorable reviews. In particular, the hidden story of King Danjong, which was painted for the first time in a Korean film, is attracting the attention of the public, regardless of age or sex.
In addition, President Lee Jae-myung and his wife attracted attention by watching "The Man Who Lives with the King" at the theater during the Lunar New Year holiday.
"Humint" was also released ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday, and it has surpassed 1 million viewers on the holiday. "Humint" is a story in which people with different purposes clash in Vladivostok, where secrets and truth are buried in an icy sea.
Cho In-sung's action as NIS director Cho and Park Jung-min's melodrama as North Korean security team leader Park Gun have been creating synergy and even Shin Se-kyung, who has been on the screen for the first time in a long time. "Humint" was released a week later than "The Man Who Lives with the King" and is chasing the box office as a latecomer.
This holiday, well-made Korean movies are cruising at the same time, sparking a response that "I want to watch both movies."
