Cast Of The Movie "Parasite" Celebrates Reaching 5 Million Moviegoers In 8 Days

The movie “Parasite,” which recently became the first Korean film to win the prestigious Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, has surpassed 5 million moviegoers at the domestic box office.

The movie, which was directed by acclaimed director Bong Joon Ho, premiered in South Korea on May 30 and rose to the top of the box office there on its first day. It reached over 2.3 million moviegoers in three days, 3 million moviegoers in four days, and 4 million moviegoers in six days.

On June 6, eight days after its release, the movie hit the 5 million moviegoer mark. To celebrate the achievement, the cast wrote handwritten messages of gratitude and congratulations. The cast also took photos of themselves with their message in a style that resembles the movie poster. Jo Yeo Jeong, who is currently in the middle of filming, was unable to take a photograph but shared a handwritten message of her own.

“Parasite” is about an unemployed man (played by Song Kang Ho), who gets involved in the lives of a wealthy family when his eldest son (played by Choi Woo Shik) begins tutoring their daughter.
