Master Director Bong Joon-ho, Aiming to Surpass 13 Million Viewers
The film 'The King and the Man' surpassed 12.21 million viewers in 37 days of release, ranking 19th in all-time box office history. This record surpasses the box office performance of 'A Taxi Driver,' released in 2017.
'The King and the Man,' which started at number one in its early release, gained momentum by surpassing 1 million viewers in 5 days and 2 million viewers in 12 days. It broke the record for the highest-grossing Korean film since 'Veteran 2' by surpassing 5.86 million viewers in 19 days and reached 10 million viewers in 31 days.

This box office success was significantly driven by the outstanding performances of Park Ji-hoon, who sparked the Danjong syndrome, and Yoo Hae-jin, who led the tragic ending. In particular, Park Ji-hoon is being recognized for solidifying his position as an actor through this work.
Currently, 'The King and the Man' is steadily increasing its audience numbers without significant competition, and if it surpasses 13 million viewers, it will surpass Bong Joon-ho's 'The Host' and enter the all-time box office TOP10. Accordingly, attention is focused on whether director Jang Hang-jun, known as 'Master Jang Hang-jun,' can surpass Bong Joon-ho's box office record.
