The film 'Yadang: The Snitch', starring Kang Ha-neul and Yoo Hae-jin, claimed the top spot at the box office on its opening day.
According to the Korean Film Council's integrated computer network for movie tickets, 'Yadang: The Snitch' attracted 85,661 viewers nationwide on its release day, April 16. This achievement dethroned 'The Match', which had held the number one position for 21 days.
'Yadang: The Snitch' is a crime action film that weaves together the stories of a broker named 'Yadang: The Snitch', a prosecutor aiming for higher status, and a detective who is determined to eradicate drug crimes, each driven by their own motives.
Despite the challenge of its R-rating, the film made a strong start by reaching the top spot on its first day. With its current lead in advance ticket sales, it is expected to draw even more audiences over the weekend.
