Zo In Sung and Kang Full meet, Na Hong-jin's 'Hope' surpasses 2.27 million

Director Na Hong-jin's new film 'Hope' continues its box office success, surpassing 2 million viewers in the shortest period since its release. Currently maintaining the number one spot at the box office with a cumulative audience of 2.27 million, the film tells the story of Beom-seok, the head of the Hopo Port branch office in the Demilitarized Zone, as he encounters an unidentified entity that appears in the village.

A special meeting has been arranged to continue the box office fever. On the 24th at 6:35 PM, a special GV (Guest Visit) featuring actor Zo In Sung and author Kang Full will be held at Megabox Co. Fans are focusing their attention on the fact that the two, who worked together in the Disney+ series 'Moving', are meeting again. Zo In Sung, who showcased his action skills in the role of 'Seong-gi', will personally share behind-the-scenes filming stories and tales related to the work with the audience on-site.

Na Hong-jin's new worldview praised by masters

The film 'Hope' received praise from master directors even before its release. Director Lee Chang-dong commented, "It is the pinnacle of entertainment films, showing tension and speed beyond the limit." Director Bong Joon-ho left the words, "An amazing cinematic adventure where spirit and madness explode," and Director Jang Jae-hyun also evaluated the work, saying, "I was overwhelmed by the visuals and the worldview that make the ticket price worth it." In previous GVs, film industry figures such as director Hwang Dong-hyeok and actor Lee Jung-jae participated.

Audiences are paying attention to the original action, tight tension, and black comedy elements that refresh the flow of the drama. Continuous praise follows for the character portrayal of lead actors such as Hwang Jung-min, Zo In Sung, and Jung Ho-yeon, as well as the CG and VFX direction that demonstrates the technical prowess of Korean cinema. The sense of space in the rural port village of Hopo Port, Michael Abels' music, and the overall production quality, including cinematography and art direction, support the box office success.
