The film "God's Orchestra" gave an unforgettable, moving night at a sing-along GV screening with CCM singer Jiseon, thanks to surprise visits by the lead actors and the audience's passionate chorus.
On the evening of the 8th at Lotte Cinema World Tower, the "God's Orchestra" sing-along GV with Jiseon event was literally a 'scriptless drama'. Initially, the event had only been announced as an opportunity to watch the film and talk with CCM singer Jiseon, the original artist of the praise song "Grace" included in the movie. However, just after the event began, the film's leading figures, including director Kim Hyung-hyeop, Jeong Jin-woon, Han Jeong-wan, Shin Han-gyeol, and Kang Seung-wan, suddenly appeared behind the stage without prior notice, and the audience quickly began to buzz.
The audience responded to the unannounced surprise visit by the actors with incredulous, explosive cheers and applause. The actors, moved by the audience's warm enthusiasm, carried out an unscheduled stage greeting and an impromptu Q&A, heating up the atmosphere on site.
The highlight of the event was undoubtedly the "sing-along" time. After the film screening, when the praise song "Grace" began under the lead of singer Jiseon, the atmosphere in the auditorium reached its peak.
The audience, filling the seats, recalled the moving scenes on the screen and sang along to "Grace" in unison. Added to Jiseon's deeply appealing original voice were the sincere voices of the audience, filling the theater with a huge resonance. The sobbing here and there and the sight of people worshiping were said to have shown the essence of a "cultural worship" that resembled a large rally.
A spectator at the event said, "I came to see Jiseon and ended up meeting the actors too, I feel like I hit the lottery," adding, "When we all sang "Grace" at the end, the emotion from the film was revived and I cried my eyes out. It was the best preview screening of my life."
Despite being a weekday evening, "God's Orchestra," which drew nearly sold-out seats and explosive on-site reactions, is expected to see even stronger box office momentum this weekend.
On the 10th (Sat), a sing-along screening will continue with the praise team "Gifted," and on the 11th (Sun) with the praise team "Piaworship." In addition, stage greetings in the Gyeonggi and Incheon regions are scheduled over the weekend, so the "reverse-running syndrome" sparked by "God's Orchestra" is expected to continue for the time being.
Amid Hollywood blockbusters, "God's Orchestra," which continues to rank first in seat occupancy rate and is making a box office comeback, opened on the 31st of last month.
