Director Na Hong-jin's new film "Hope" (HOPE) has surpassed a cumulative total of 2 million viewers within five days of its release.

According to the Korean Film Council's integrated ticketing system on the 19th, "Hope," which opened on the 15th, exceeded 2 million cumulative viewers as of 1 p.m. that day.

"Hope" broke through 1 million viewers in just three days after its release and gathered 2 million viewers during its opening weekend, setting a record for the fastest box office achievement this year.

"Hope" is an SF action thriller that tells the story of Bong-seok (played by Hwang Jung-min), a commander at the HoPohang outpost in the Demilitarized Zone, who encounters an unknown presence appearing in his village.

Word-of-mouth praise for the film includes its alien-themed subject matter, mise-en-scène featuring creatures appearing during broad daylight, spectacular action performances by Hwang Jung-min, Jo In-sung, and Jung Ho-yeon, and a shocking ending.
