Man Living With The King Surpasses 13 Million Views

The film "The Man Who Lived with the King" has surpassed 13 million cumulative viewers, securing its place at 10th on the all-time box office charts. This achievement, reached in just 40 days since its release, marks it as the 8th highest-grossing Korean film of all time and the second highest-grossing historical film, following "The Admiral: Roaring Currents."

Distributor Showbox announced the news of surpassing 13 million viewers via social media, offering a witty greeting to the audience. Netizens are also sending their fervent support.

Released on the 4th of last month, "The Man Who Lived with the King" tells the story of village chief Eom Heung-do and the exiled young King Danjong, set in Cheongnyongpo in 1457. The solid narrative and the actors' passionate performances are combining to spread the film beyond mere viewing into a cultural phenomenon.

Audiences are showing an explosive response, visiting the actual filming location of Cheongnyongpo or continuing to watch the film multiple times. This support is becoming a driving force that further ignites the film's box office success.

Currently, "The Man Who Lived with the King" maintains the number one spot in real-time ticket reservations, solidifying its dominant position with overwhelming numbers. This suggests that its box office momentum is unlikely to wane anytime soon.
