The King's Warden brings more emotion with nationwide Gachibom screenings.
On Apr. 24, The King's Warden (director Jang Hang-jun, provided/distributed by SHOWBOX, produced by Onda Works·BA Entertainment, abbreviated "Wangsanam") announced the progress of nationwide Gachibom screenings.
Wangsanam is a work that depicts the story of 1457 Cheongnyeongpo, a village head who volunteered for exile to revive his village, and a young former king who was ousted from the throne and exiled. Having reached 10 million admissions and on the verge of surpassing 15 million viewers, it has drawn attention as the top-grossing film of 2026 and ranks third in the all-time domestic box office.
Among these, the Gachibom screenings are screenings conducted by the Korea Association of the Visually Impaired and the Korea Association of the Deaf with support from the Korean Film Council (KOFIC) and the Lottery Commission. The screening format increases accessibility by providing audio description and Korean subtitles during the film so that people with visual and auditory disabilities, as well as people without disabilities, can fully enjoy the work in the same environment.
The King's Warden was selected as a Gachibom screening in April and will offer a special viewing experience where people with visual and auditory disabilities and people without disabilities can share the film's emotion together in theaters from Apr. 6 to 20.
The Gachibom screenings will be held sequentially at 77 theaters across 17 cities and provinces nationwide, including Seoul, Gangwon, Gyeonggi, Incheon, Daejeon, Gwangju, Busan, Ulsan and Jeju, and detailed screening schedules can be checked through the official websites of the Korea Association of the Visually Impaired and the Korea Association of the Deaf. <
