This is the second time a Korean film has topped the popular movies chart on Netflix. The previous film to achieve this was "#Alive," which was released in theaters last summer before spreading on Netflix.

"Space Sweepers" was originally scheduled to be released in theaters last year but was postponed due to the spread of COVID-19 and was simultaneously released worldwide on Netflix on the 5th. The story follows the crew of the space debris cleaning ship Space Sweepers in 2092, who discover a humanoid robot named Dorothy, known as a weapon of mass destruction, and get involved in a dangerous deal. The cast includes Song Joong-ki, Kim Tae-ri, Jin Seon-kyu, Yoo Hae-jin, and Richard Armitage.
