The movie 'Hope' has surpassed a cumulative total of 4 million viewers.

According to the Korea Film Council's integrated ticketing system data released on the 2nd, 'Hope' broke the 4th million viewer mark immediately after midnight on that day. With this achievement, 'Hope' joins 'The Man Who Lives in the Palace' and 'COLONY' as the third film of the year to reach 4 million viewers.

Directed by Na Hong-jin, whose unique style permeates the film, 'Hope' has received mixed reactions regarding whether viewers like or dislike it. However, thanks to its special charm, the movie sparked a phenomenon known as the 'Hwop-chin-ja' (Hope-loving) syndrome and maintained the number one spot in Korean film ticket sales for 30 consecutive days.

Even amidst a wave of foreign films such as 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' and 'Odyssey', 'Hope' continues to demonstrate the strength of Korean cinema.

Recently, despite controversies surrounding actor Hwang Jung-min's private life and stalking allegations, the cast members have remained steadfast, conducting stage greetings and connecting with audiences who love 'Hope'.

Meanwhile, 'Hope' tells the story of a man named Beom-seok, the head of the Pohang outpost located in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), who learns from local youths that a tiger has appeared. As the entire town goes into alarm, he encounters an unbelievable reality.
