Today’s story that is open and harsh. Reporter Kim Ji-won of Ten Asia criticizes entertainment industry issues with a harsh perspective.

The theater district has become boring again. There is no work that would interest the audience. The movies that have been released are disappointing, and the movies that will be released are also predictable.

The top 5 box offices over the past week were the movies ‘Alien+Human’ Part 2, ‘Wish’, ‘Spring in Seoul’, ‘Noryang: Sea of ​​Death’, ‘Into the World’ has risen.

‘Alien+Human’ released on the 10th. Part 2 had a cumulative audience of 810,000 on the 9th day of release. It is gathering audiences at a slow pace, unable to easily make up for the sluggishness of the first part. However, it has maintained its first place ever since its release, maintaining its status as a ‘masterpiece’ Director Choi Dong-hoon and actors Ryu Jun-yeol, Kim Tae-ri, and Kim Woo-bin come together to create ‘Alien+Human’ Part 2 is an action fantasy story about humans and gurus trying to save everyone by returning to the future while hidden secrets are revealed in the fierce battle for the new sword.

Despite its title as a commemorative work for Disney’s 100th anniversary, the animation ‘Wish’ also falls short of expectations. ‘Wish’ is about what happens when Asha, a confident girl living in the magical kingdom of Rosas, fights against King Magnifico, who has absolute power, with the ‘Star’, which has infinite energy. Green work. It is being criticized for having a weak, depthless story and an unattractive protagonist. The reason why we can no longer expect to attract more audiences. Some say that it can measure Disney’s current status, which is not what it used to be. ‘Wish’ became the first movie of the new year to reach 1 million views, but this also means that everyone worth watching has seen it.

‘Spring in Seoul’, released in November last year, and ‘Noryang: Sea of ​​Death’, released in December, are still ranked in the top 5. The fact that it exists is proof that there are no new works worth watching. Even for both works, the number of weekday audiences has now fallen to 10,000.

Among these, ‘Citizen Deok-hee’ will be released on the 24th. ‘Citizen Deok-hee’ is an exhilarating chase drama that unfolds when Deok-hee, an ordinary citizen who has been subjected to voice phishing, receives a rescue request from Jae-min, a member of a fraudulent organization. It is based on the true story of Kim Seong-ja, a laundromat owner in Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, who contributed to catching the leader of voice phishing in 2016.

As the main character is Ra Mi-ran, there will be ‘laughter’ that the audience expects. However, after the press preview held before the release, there are evaluations saying, “It’s a familiar taste, so it’s boring.” Nothing special beyond what was expected.

The audience lost interest in the theater with nothing to see. It appears that theaters will remain empty until new films targeting the Lunar New Year holiday in February are released.
