The period film "The King's Warden", starring Yoo Hae-jin and Park Ji-hoon, claimed the top spot at the weekend box office in its third week of release.
According to the Korean Film Council’s box office data on the 23rd, "The King's Warden" drew 1,414,221 moviegoers nationwide from the 20th to the 22nd, landing at No. 1. Its cumulative admissions now stand at 5,828,899.
Opening on February 4, “The King's Warden” crossed the 5 million mark in 20 days, showing strong legs.
