“The King’s Warden” is officially Korea’s biggest box office hit in over a decade!

On April 11 KST, the Korean Film Council announced that as of that morning, “The King’s Warden” had recorded a total of 16,283,970 moviegoers.

As a result, “The King’s Warden” has now overtaken the beloved 2019 hit “Extreme Job” to become the second most-attended Korean movie of all time.

The only Korean film with a higher number of box-office admissions to date is the 2014 blockbuster “The Admiral: Roaring Currents,” which recorded a total of 17,613,682 moviegoers by the end of its run.

Meanwhile, “The King’s Warden” already became the highest-grossing Korean film of all time last month.

Congratulations to the film’s cast and crew!
