Now, 'Salmokji', the film that broke the box office record for Korean horror movies for the first time in 23 years, can be watched on home screens.

On the 27th, Coupang Play announced that it would begin offering the movie 'Salmokji' for individual purchase starting that day.

'Salmokji' is an immersive horror film that depicts the bizarre events faced by a film crew that went to the reservoir 'Salmokji', known for its many ghost stories, after an unidentified figure was captured on its road view footage.

It garnered attention with a fresh cast centered on rising young actors including Kim Hye-yoon, Lee Jong-won, and Jang Da-a, and achieved a cumulative audience count of 3.3 million.

'Salmokji' surpassed the box office record for horror films set by the legend of Korean horror, 'A Tale of Two Sisters', for the first time in 23 years. The film also sparked a trend called 'Salmi-dan-gil', where people visited the actual location featured in the movie, 'Salmokji' in Yesan-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, early in the morning to post verification photos.

It remains to be seen what kind of enjoyment 'Salmokji' will bring to home screens after moving beyond the big screen.

Meanwhile, 'Salmokji' will be available on Coupang Play starting on the 27th.
