More than 1 million people have seen "Ssamghwajeom" as of Jan. 2, the film's fourth day of screening, the movie's distribution company Showbox said Saturday.
The attendance is a new record. "Tazza: The High Rollers" (2006) and "The Chaser" (2008) drew the same number of viewers in five and eight days, respectively, Showbox said.
"Ssanghwajeom," a fictional tale of homosexual romance during the Goryeo Dynasty, is showing at some 540 theaters across the country. The film stars two top-notch male actors, Zo In-sung and Joo jin-mo. The movie got around 320,000 viewers solely on Jan. 1.
