Hwang Jung-min and Hyun Bin's 'negotiation' exceeds 1 million

The movie ‘Negotiation’ surpassed 1 million viewers on the 7th day of its release.

'Negotiation' surpassed 1 million viewers on the 24th, attracting a cumulative audience of 1,023,232.

'Negotiation' is a movie depicting the negotiation operation between a diplomat and a local National Intelligence Service agent who went to Afghanistan to rescue Koreans who were taken hostage by the Taliban in the worst kidnapping incident.

The filming on location in Jordan and the acting chemistry between top actors Hwang Jung-min and Hyun Bin, known as 'real-life best friends', are raising expectations. However, the motif of the 'Saemmul Church missionary kidnapping incident' is a risk factor. It is pointed out that it is not popular because of its somewhat uncomfortable material.

'Negotiation' has been at the top of the box office for 7 consecutive days since its release.

The movie <Negotiation>, which showed the power of Korean films by ranking first at the box office on the first weekend of its release, adding immersion through the sincere synergy and ensemble of Hwang Jung-min, Hyun Bin, and Kang Ki-young, and realistic local production, is being screened in theaters across the country to rave reviews.
