[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Juhee] The film Nam-san-ui Bujangdeul (Director Woo Min-ho) has held the top spot at the box office for eight consecutive days.


According to the Korea Film Council's integrated ticket sales data on the 30th, Nam-san-ui Bujangdeul attracted 212,022 viewers across 1,462 screens on the 29th, bringing its cumulative audience to 3,625,567 and maintaining its number one position at the box office.


On the 27th, just six days after its release, it surpassed 3 million viewers and drew approximately 2.63 million viewers during the four-day Lunar New Year holiday, achieving great success. Attention is focused on whether it can continue to increase theater attendance through this weekend.



Nam-san-ui Bujangdeul depicts the 40 days leading up to the assassination of the President of the Republic of Korea in 1979, focusing on the director of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency (played by Lee Byung-hun), who was known as the second most powerful figure at the time.
