Poster of Hollywood movie "2012" [sony Pictures]

Over ten million people visited theaters in November, the highest number in Korean box office history, although the market share of Korean films dropped compared to the previous month.

According to statistics released by Korea's major multiplex CJ CGV, the Korean box office drew in a total 10,676,101 viewers in November, about a 13 percent increase from both the previous month and the same period last year.

CJ explained that it was the first time the total of number of moviegoers surpassed the 10 million mark during the month of November in its own and the official Korean Film Council's history of compiling data.

Analysts cited the increase in movie audience to the commercial successes of Hollywood blockbuster movie "2012" and several Korean hit films including "Good Morning President", "Cheongdam Bosal" and "White Night".

However, Korean films' presence on the local box office dropped, accounting for 62.8 percent of all films in October but 40.5 percent in November. The figure is also a 7.3 percent decrease compared to last year.

From January to November this year, 51.4 percent of the audience watched Korean films, the figure increasing by 9.4 percent compared to last year but dropping by 1.1 percent from 2007.

Petra,

I just saw these pics at DC, this is the dress she wore in the Mnet Wide Interview ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aij6Bj-GFoM )with Ko Soo; i'm assuming it's the same day. Have you seen their pictures together for this day?

helena, what is this about?.. and why ko soo's name was mentioned?

2004년 백상에서

그러고 보면 가장 허물없이 절친해 보이는 남자배우는 태현횽인 듯~

태현오빠~~

우성/명민/주혁 선배~~

고수는??? 고수씨~~ ㅎㅎ

갤러들은 이 호칭에 대해 이상하게 생각해본 적 없나요?

어떻게 보면 가장 가깝고, 어떻게 보면 멀어보이는 참 묘한 호칭이 "씨" 지요

Isabel, this movie is still being screened in Korea; we'll have to wait several months for its DVD release.

[Guest whatleftforme]

at this rate, I think WN will need another week to reach 1 million viewers. Now I only wish that they will win some awards for their hard work & excellent performance. Ye Jin & Soo fighting!!!

[Guest petra]

Thank you so much for the link behind the stage. I always love to see scenes behind the camera.

No wonder SYJ looked at the miror again as KS used to tease her. Why not??

We are ladies , must concern to our look. KS was reading the script .That is men 's business .heheehee

I wonder whether SYJ was chatting with him or giving the interview to reporter..??

May I repost this link to my FC. Thank you.

Oh Kdramafanusa. I am excited with the WHite Night. If it could get 1 million viewers within this week.

It is in my prayer. When we look at the daily admission , it is not bad, right ??

[Guest cris14]

pet..i guess they are chatting..

Yejin always look at the mirror..

I love bts too, hopefully, there will be more.

Please repost Petra, you don't have to ask me. Thanks for taking the time to spread the love, the more the better.

Ko Soo wasn't kidding about Ye-Jin and the mirror.

100% agree with you Petra, ladies pay more attention to looks; men can't be like that. Can we imagine him doing the same thing as Ye-Jin's?

I wonder whether SYJ was chatting with him or giving the interview to reporter..??

I guess that they were rehearsing their lines before presenting. He looked so serious there, he could be more nervous since he's been away for so long.

Great team work when they were on stage, I have pics to prove this. Be right back.

I'm about to cry The viewers are getting lower & lower each day (as expected), but this is too much. With many new movies coming out, I think it will take at least 2-3 wks to achieve 1 million. Hopefully, it can stay in the theaters though. I know some movies pulled off only after couple of weeks, & some stayed for months. Talk about bias (money talks )

Yeh Kdramafanusa .. . KOSOO is always serious .

OH I am so worry that BYH probably can't achieve 1 million viewers. I am about to cry.

Please gain more admission during this weekend. please

Hello motoway065

You're the first person I've come across who got to see the film!!! If it is possible can you give us a detailed synopsis (I don't mind spoilers either, as I have seen the Japanese TV series)? What did you think of GS performance? It looks like he was born to play such a part but the movie trailer is so brief that I, for one, cannot tell. I can't wait for the film's DVD release, until then any piece on it will be much appreciated.
