The King's Warden, which has reached 10 million admissions, has surpassed the record of Taegukgi: Brotherhood Of War.
On the 11th, according to the Korean Film Council (KOFIC) theater integrated computer network, The King's Warden (director Jang Hang-jun, provided/distributed by SHOWBOX, produced by Onda Works·BA Entertainment) drew 177,195 viewers nationwide on the 10th. With this, The King's Warden's cumulative audience reached 11,880,042.
This is the 21st highest-grossing record among domestic releases. With this, The King's Warden surpassed the 11,746,135 admissions of the previous ranking film Taegukgi: Brotherhood Of War.
In particular, ranked 20th in the list of top-grossing Korean films is director Jang Jae-hyun's film Exhuma, which became a sensation in 2024. Exhuma recorded a cumulative audience of 11,913,264 at the time of its release.
The King's Warden is still recording an average of more than 100,000 viewers a day even on weekdays. With less than 30,000 viewers remaining to match Exhuma's record, a smooth reclaiming of the 20th spot is expected.
The King's Warden, which has recently continued its popular box office momentum, is a work that depicts 1457 Cheongryeongpo and the story of a village head who volunteered for exile for the revival of the village and the young deposed king exiled from the throne. It beautifully portrays the story of Joseon King Danjong (Park Jihoon) who died a tragic death at a young age and Joseon commoner Eom Heung-do (Yoo Hai Jin), who risked his life to handle the king's final affairs, earning praise. <
