The Man Who Lives with the King has officially crossed the 15 million mark, continuing its powerful box office run.

According to the Korean Film Council's integrated ticketing system, the film surpassed 15 million cumulative viewers on March 25, its 50th day in theaters. The momentum shows no clear signs of slowing.

Unstoppable Box Office Momentum

While weekday attendance saw a slight dip, weekend numbers remained strong, drawing around 800,000 moviegoers. The film continues to dominate the box office with consistent audience turnout.

It has already overtaken Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds (14.41 million) as of March 23. Attention now turns to whether it can break into the all-time top two.

Closing in on Historic Records

Only two films remain ahead: The Admiral: Roaring Currents (17.61 million) and Extreme Job (16.26 million). With its steady pace, the film is widely expected to rewrite Korean box office history.

Story of Loyalty and Humanity

The film is based on the story of King Danjong, the sixth king of Joseon. It follows the life of the exiled monarch, a village chief, and the people of Gwangcheon Valley.

Yoo Hae-jin plays village chief Eom Hong-do, while Park Ji-hoon portrays King Danjong (Lee Hong-wi). Their cross-class friendship delivers a deeply emotional narrative that continues to resonate with audiences.
