The movie 'The King's Man' has proven its box office power even on television screens.

According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings survey company, the movie 'The King's Man,' broadcast on SBS the previous day, recorded a national viewership rating of 11.0% and a metropolitan area rating of 11.8% on the 27th.

Previously, SBS scheduled 'The King's Man' for broadcast at 9:30 p.m. on the 26th as part of its Chuseok special lineup. This marked the film's first television release since its theatrical premiere.

Despite being delayed from its originally scheduled time, the program garnered significant attention. Although the broadcast was postponed due to live coverage of the baseball matches at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, 'The King's Man' achieved the highest viewership rating among all terrestrial programs aired that day.

The box office enthusiasm generated in theaters extended to living rooms. 'The King's Man,' released in February this year, attracted a cumulative audience of 16.93 million. Surpassing the final audience count of the movie 'Extreme Job' (16.26 million), it secured second place on the all-time box office rankings, sparking a box office phenomenon.

'The King's Man' is set in Cheongnyeongpo in 1457 and tells the story of a village chief who voluntarily went into exile to revitalize his village, and a young former king who was deposed from the throne and exiled. The heartbreaking narrative of Danjong combined with the outstanding performances by the actors left a deep impression on audiences.
