With the horror film "Salmokji," starring actress Kim Hye-yoon, set to be released, attention is focusing on whether it will continue the popularity of the distributor's showbox following "If We" and "The Man Who Lives with the King."

"Salmokji" is a horror movie that takes place when an unidentified figure is taken in the road view of "Salmokji" and the filming team headed to the reservoir for re-filming faces something in the dark and deep water.

The short films "Hamjin-abi," "Spinning Gun," and "Ghost Calling App: Young," released in February, are expected to be the first solo feature director Lee Sang-min, who has built his own colors and senses in the horror genre.

Not only the ensemble casting of actors who are trying to challenge the horror genre for the first time, but also the dense acting they present are the main points of the movie. In particular, Kim Hye-yoon, who transformed into a "horror queen" in this work, plays PD Su-in, who leads the filming team to a murderous place with bizarre rumors. Kim Hye-yoon, who returned to the screen four years after "I agree" (2022), said, "The subject of water ghost came fresh, and the character Su-in had to express her emotions with just one eye, so it was attractive to see her restrained appearance. "I'm nervous and nervous to meet the audience with a horror movie called Salmokji," he said.

Salmokji is the third work presented by Showbox this year. "If We" (director Kim Do-young), which was released on December 31 last year, topped the overall box office in January. On January 25, it attracted 2 million viewers, recording the highest box office hit in the melodrama genre since "Most Ordinary Love," which was released in 2019, and surpassed 2.6 million viewers.

"The Man Who Lives with the King" (director Jang Hang-joon), which was released on February 4 for the Lunar New Year holiday, has surpassed 9 million viewers on the 27th day of its release and is about to become a "10 million movie." If "Salmokji" is a success, distributor Showbox will succeed in "three consecutive at-bats." The break-even point of Salmokji is about 800,000 people.

Showbox is also set to release this year's new film directed by Yeon Sang-ho and actor Jeon Ji-hyun's return to the screen, "The Colony," and the psychological thriller "Heavy Snow" starring Kim Yoon-seok and Gu Dong-hwan.

Meanwhile, Salmokji will be released in theaters on April 8.
