In 2019, YoonA and Jo Jung Suk caused a box office fever with the movie Exit - escape in the Air - attracting 9.42 million views. In the summer of 2025, the two stars will return together, but the achievements of the two works are completely different.
According to the Korean Film Council, as of noon on August 16, the film My Daughter is a Zombie starring Jo Jung Suk has sold 4,048,804 tickets.
Previously, on August 15, "My father's favorite Zombie" surpassed 4 million tickets, becoming the film with the highest revenue of the year. This is the first Korean film in 2025 to surpass the 4 million view mark and reach this milestone the fastest.
The success rate of the film is equal to the popular film of the summer of 2023 - "Smugglers", achieving similar results in 17 days and surpassing the blockbuster of the summer of 2024 - "Pilot" (The Female pilots, also starring Jo Jung Suk) took 22 days.
When released on July 30, The Baby Zombie of Your Father consecutively set many records for the highest box office opening revenue in Korea in 2025, the highest opening revenue of all time for a Korean comedy.
The film reached 1 million tickets after nearly 4 days of showing, 2 million tickets after 6 days of showing, 2.2 million tickets after 7 days of showing and officially profited. After 11 days, the work reached 3 million tickets.
Meanwhile, YoonA's "Pretty Crazy" (Em xinh tinh mua) by Ahn Bo Hyun had a rather gloomy start.
The film premiered on August 13, in Korea and is currently selling 166,301 tickets, ranking 3rd on the ticket sales chart for the day in Korea. With the current ticket sales rate, the possibility of the film reaching 1 million tickets is still quite far away.
This is a regrettable thing as the work marks YoonA's reunion with director Lee Sang Geun, after the success of the film "Exit".
The project is also a transformation of YoonA when the role of Seon Ji that she plays this time is the most dynamic character she has ever transformed into. The SNSD member has tried to change her appearance and voice, aiming to portray a bold and energetic character.
However, YoonA's efforts were not enough to create attraction and attract audiences to the theater. In Vietnam, the film opened for early screening during the National Day holiday (from September 1-4) and officially premiered on September 5.
