Actress Lee Jung-eun expressed regret over the difficult screening reality for 'Gyeongju Trip.'

On the 12th, Lee Jung-eun posted on her social networking service (SNS), "Getting a movie theater to screen our film is as hard as plucking stars from the sky," along with a photo of the previous day's, the 11th, screening schedule at one theater.

The released photo showed that the films 'Odyssey' and 'Obsession' were tightly scheduled across multiple theaters from morning until late night.

It appears Lee Jung-eun indirectly voiced her frustration over the difficulty of securing screenings for her film 'Gyeongju Trip.' With popular titles receiving concentrated screenings and showtimes, she expressed regret that relatively smaller-scale works struggle to even get a chance to meet audiences.

In response, Gong Hyo-jin, who also starred in 'Gyeongju Trip,' commented, "It must be hard to see it even if you want to. I'm sad, mom," expressing her sympathy.

According to the Korea Film Council's integrated ticketing system, from the 11th to the 13th, 'Gyeongju Trip' occupied only 3.0% of seats in theaters over the weekend. During the same period, 'Odyssey' recorded a seat occupancy rate of 40.5%, and 'Obsession' reached 15.2%, showing a significant gap. The number of seats allocated to 'Gyeongju Trip' was 163,018, approximately 7% of the 2,209,382 seats assigned to 'Odyssey.'

Meanwhile, 'Gyeongju Trip' is a family revenge drama about four mother and daughters who embark on a "killing" journey after an eight-year wait for their youngest daughter, 'Gyeongju,' who never returned from a school trip. Released last month on the 26th, it has currently accumulated 332,756 viewers.
