The film "Sal Mok Ji" starring Kim Hye-yoon is continuing its run after surpassing 1 million viewers and is now approaching the 1st.5 million mark.

According to the Korean Film Council's integrated ticketing system data released on the 19th, the film "Sal Mok Ji" attracted 211,510 viewers on the 18th. The cumulative audience count stands at 1.302 million.

In "Sal Mok Ji," starring Kim Hye-yoon, an unidentified figure is captured on a road trip video, and the filming crew heading to a reservoir for reshoots encounters something dark and deep within the water, forming the basis of this horror film.

The film "Sal Mok Ji" surpassed 1 million cumulative viewers on the morning of the 17th, its 10th day of release, and drew over 200,000 viewers in a single day on the 18th, racing toward the 2nd million mark.

Kim Hye-yoon's horror lead role in "Sal Mok Ji" is drawing attention as the next major horror hit following "Gongjiam." The film has sparked a horror phenomenon, and interest in Sal Mok Ji, the actual filming location, is also rising. In Yesan County, Chungcheongnam-do, where Sal Mok Ji is located, authorities announced nighttime crowd control measures after large crowds gathered at night, indicating the film is gaining trend-like popularity, particularly among the Gen Z generation. In this context, it remains to be seen whether "Sal Mok Ji" can surpass "Gongjiam."
