The horror film "Sal Mok Ji," starring Kim Hye-yoon, has held the number one spot at the box office for nine consecutive days and is on the verge of surpassing 1 million cumulative viewers.

According to the integrated ticketing system of the Korean Film Council on the 17th, "Salmoji" attracted 58,664 viewers on the 16th. The cumulative audience reached 989,737, and it is expected to surpass 1 million cumulative viewers by today (the 17th, 2024).

"Salmoji" broke even on its seventh day of release on the 14th, setting the fastest record among films released in 2026.

Kim Hye-yoon's horror lead role in "Salmokji" is drawing attention as the next major horror hit from director Bae, following "Gonjiam." The film is sparking a horror phenomenon, and interest in Salmokji, the actual filming location, is also rising. In Yesan County, Chungcheongnam-do, where Salmokji is located, authorities announced they will implement nighttime controls after large crowds gathered at the site during the night, indicating the film has gained phenomenon-like popularity, particularly among the younger Gen Z generation. In this context, it remains to be seen whether "Salmokji" can surpass "Gonjiam."

Meanwhile, "Salmoji" is a horror film in which an unidentified figure appears in the "Salmoji" road view, and the filming crew heading to a reservoir for a reshoot encounters something in the dark, deep water. "Salmoji" is currently playing to great acclaim in theaters nationwide.
