"The King's Warden" Surpasses 6 Million Moviegoers In Just 20 Days

"The King's Warden" has officially surpassed 6 million moviegoers in a stunning display of box office dominance. On February 23, the Korean Film Council announced that the film exceeded 6 million admissions on its 20th day since release — outpacing the beloved historical film "The King and the Clown," which reached the same milestone on its 29th day.

To celebrate the milestone, a commemorative photo and video featuring director Jang Hang Jun and cast members Park Ji Hoon, Yoo Hae Jin, Yoo Ji Tae, Ahn Jae Hong, Kim Min, and Park Ji Hwan were unveiled, showcasing the gratitude and excitement shared by the entire production team.

"The King and the Clown" eventually became the first historical film to surpass 10 million moviegoers at the Korean box office. Now, "The King's Warden" is on a similar trajectory to "Masquerade" (also known as "Gwanghae: The Man Who Became King"), which ultimately drew more than 12 million viewers during its theatrical run.

Having held the No. 1 spot at the box office for 11 consecutive days, "The King's Warden" is solidifying its status as one of the biggest theatrical hits of 2026. Congratulations to the film's cast and crew on this remarkable achievement!
