The historical film The King's Warden has maintained its lead at the South Korean box office, surpassing 5.8 million cumulative viewers just three weeks after its release. According to data from the Korean Film Council, it drew 1.41 million moviegoers from Friday to Sunday. This figure more than doubles its break-even point of approximately 2.6 million.
A bull that drifted south from North Korea during a 1996 flood and became a symbol of inter-Korean peace has been laid to rest on a border hill overlooking its homeland nearly 30 years later. The animal's remains were relocated to an exhibition hall in Aegibong Peace Ecopark, just 1.4 kilometers from North Korea's Kaepung county. A memorial ritual preceded the relocation on November 27.
