Bowing deeply to the Korean film industry
I will buy it for you:
If “Spring in Seoul” reaches 10 million viewers,
What does the emergency declaration mean?
Young people who understand and take immediate action
I dare say that there will be no generation.
Thank you again and again:
Gulp.

A total of 1,150 views were recorded.
This is a 1,085% increase compared to the previous 3rd, when 97 cases were recorded.
The daily box office ranking also jumped from 23rd on the 3rd to 3rd on the 4th.
Considering that the top-ranked works at the box office are recent works such as ‘Veteran 2’, ‘Amazon Whal Myung-su’, ‘Love in the Big City’, and ‘Ordinary Family’, ‘Spring in Seoul’, which was released more than a year ago, is the top film. It is unusual to re-enter the region.
‘Spring in Seoul’ continues to increase the number of views, with 1,000 views on the 5th, 1,393 views on the 6th, and 1,892 views on the 7th.
This work topped the ‘Top 10’ movie chart on Netflix for five consecutive days from the 6th to the 10th. Even on Netflix, it beat recent works such as ‘Pilot’, ‘Escape’, and ‘Because I Hate Korea’.
This ‘reversal’ of ‘Seoul Spring’ is interpreted to be related to the situation in which President Yoon Seok-yeol imposed martial law on the 3rd and lifted it the next day according to a resolution of the National Assembly.
Social network service after martial law (
SNS
), posts, parody posters, and various memes were posted one after another saying that this incident was reminiscent of ‘Seoul Spring’, which dealt with the December 12 military uprising. Requests for reopening of theaters and broadcasting on television continued.
‘Spring in Seoul’, directed by director Kim Seong-su, depicts the breathtaking nine hours between security commander Jeon Doo-gwang (played by Hwang Jung-min), who rebelled to seize power, and capital security commander Lee Tae-shin, who tries to stop him.
When the film was released in November last year, the ‘anger challenge’ was popular among audiences in their 20s and 30s, in which people uploaded photos online showing their heart rate rising while watching the film. ‘Spring in Seoul’, which went viral, attracted 13 million viewers.
