[Sports Today reporter Kim Tae-hyung] The film ‘A Man Who Lives with the King’ has climbed to No. 2 on South Korea’s all-time box office chart.<\/p>\n

According to the Korea Integrated Ticketing System on the 11th, the film reached a cumulative audience of 16,283,970 on its 67th day in release. <\/p>\n

That total surpassed the final attendance for 2019’s blockbuster ‘Extreme Job’ (16.26 million), pushing ‘A Man Who Lives with the King’ to the No. 2 spot on the all-time list. <\/p>\n

Set in 1457 at Cheongnyeongpo, the film follows a village head who volunteers for exile to revive his town and a young dethroned king sent into exile. Blending comedy with heartfelt drama, it has won over audiences across generations. <\/p>\n

The movie’s poignant telling of King Danjong’s story and the cast’s committed performances have left a lasting impression. Now in its 10th week, it continues to draw repeat viewings, and as it breaks box-office records day after day, industry watchers are tracking what milestones it will reach next.<\/p>\n

Having surpassed 16.28 million viewers to claim the No. 2 spot on the all-time box office chart, ‘A Man Who Lives with the King’ remains in theaters nationwide. <\/p>\n
