“12.12: The Day” Becomes 1st Korean Non-Sequel Film Since “Parasite” To Surpass 10 Million Moviegoers

 

In just over a month, “12.12: The Day” has surpassed 10 million moviegoers at the Korean box office!

On the morning of December 24, the Korean Film Council announced that the star-studded historical film had officially reached a total of over 10 million moviegoers. The film was originally released on November 22, meaning that it took less than 33 days to hit the 10 million mark.

“12.12: The Day” is only the second Korean film released in 2023 to reach the milestone, following the smash hit “The Roundup: No Way Out.”

Notably, it is also the first Korean film that is not a sequel or part of a series to surpass 10 million moviegoers since the award-winning 2019 film “Parasite.”

“12.12: The Day” is Hwang Jung Min’s third film to hit the 10 million mark (following “Ode to My Father” and “Veteran”), and it is Jung Woo Sung’s first movie to reach the milestone.

Congratulations to the entire cast and crew!
