'With the Chuseok holiday approaching, a fierce box office competition has ignited among Korean films. 'Assassin(s)' and 'Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub' have secured the top two spots in pre-sale rates for Korean movies, signaling a two-way battle at theaters.

According to the integrated computer network of the Korean Film Council on the 20th, 'Assassin(s)' recorded a pre-sale rate of 22.8% and 128,734 tickets sold (as of 10:45 a.m.), ranking second.

'Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub' achieved an 11.7% pre-sale rate with 65,844 tickets sold, placing third overall. Despite being rated for adults only, the film is rapidly gaining traction in pre-sales ahead of its release, making a strong presence.

Both films are set to be released on the 23rd. 'Assassin(s)' draws inspiration from the assassination attempt on the First Lady that occurred on August 15, 1974, depicting a story that investigates the doubts and masterminds behind the incident. Director Heo Jin-ho helmed the project, with Park Hae-il, Yoo Hae-jin, and Lee Min-ho among the cast.

'Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub' is the fourth installment in the 'Tazza' series, featuring a story about gamblers returning to the Chuseok theater scene. Won Yo-han and Noh Jae-won lead the cast.

As these two films, each showcasing distinct genres and charms, meet audiences on the same day, attention is also focused on their box office rankings immediately after release.
