Jun Ji Hyun maintains an advantage against Kang Dong Won's return

An Nhiên |

While the movie "Colony" (starring Jun Ji Hyun) is approaching the 4 million ticket mark, Kang Dong Won is preparing to reappear with "Wild Sing", creating a remarkable competition.

According to the Korea Film Council (KOFIC), as of June 2, "Colony" has attracted 3,576,884 views, continuing to hold the number 1 box office position.

After surpassing the pay-per-view score of 3 million viewers in just 10 days, the film still maintained stable growth momentum with about 100,000 - 200,000 views on weekdays and 400,000 - 500,000 views on weekends.

Notably, the work currently holds 58% of the box office market share and leads the pre-booking rate with 33.3%, showing that the attraction has not shown signs of cooling down even though it has entered its second week of release.

The film is directed by Yeon Sang Ho, with the participation of Jun Ji Hyun, Ji Chang Wook, Koo Kyo Hwan, Shin Hyun Bin, Kim Shin Rok and Go Soo. Previously, "Colony" also became the fastest Korean film released in 2026 to reach the milestones of 1 million, 2 million and 3 million views.

Not only successful in terms of revenue, the work also received much attention thanks to its way of refreshing the zombie film genre. The director once shared that he wanted to explore the contrast between the evolution of zombie groups and changes in human nature.

According to Yeon Sang Ho, not every detail in the film needs to be explained clearly, because a part of the story should be reserved for the audience's imagination.

Along with the movie "Colony", the Korean box office race is expected to become more exciting when "Wild Sing" officially hits theaters from June 3 with the participation of Kang Dong Won, Uhm Tae Goo, Park Ji Hyun and Oh Jung Se.

The film tells the story of the reunion journey of a famous dance group that once disbanded, combining musical elements, humor and nostalgia.

According to Korea Herald, the work is receiving a lot of attention thanks to exploiting the wave of Korean popular culture in the 1990s - early 2000, and building the image of the idol group Triangle to serve the promotion campaign.

In which, Triangle's MV for the song "Love is" has surpassed 2.57 million views on YouTube before the movie's release date, contributing to creating a discussion effect on social networks.

However, the current advantage still leans towards Jun Ji Hyun and the movie "Colony". In addition to the word-of-mouth effect, the film also maintains its heat thanks to the audience interactions of the cast. Many images and videos from these events are being widely spread, contributing to extending the appeal of the work at the box office.

In the context that the movie "Colony" is aiming for the milestone of 4 million views, whether "Wild sing" will create significant changes in the Korean box office in the coming days is still an unknown. However, this competition is still receiving attention as Jun Ji Hyun and Kang Dong Won previously collaborated in the movie "Thunderstorm".
