Attention is focused on the reunion between Yoo Jae-suk and Hwang Jung-min on “Whenever I Get a Chance.” Hwang Jung-min, who recently appeared on the YouTube show “Pinggye-go,” expressed his desire to appear on the show by saying, “I want to be on ‘Whenever I Get a Chance.’” Since then, his appearance as a guest on the first episode of Season 5 has come together dramatically, raising anticipation.

Meanwhile, “Hope” is a science fiction feature film directed by Na Hong-jin—known for “The Chaser” and “The Yellow Sea”—marking his return to the genre 10 years after “The Wailing.” The story begins when Beom-seok (played by Hwang Jung-min), the head of the Hopo Port branch office located in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), hears reports from local youths about a tiger sighting. As the entire village goes on high alert, he is confronted with a reality that defies belief. According to the Integrated Computerized Network for Movie Tickets, on the 14th—the film’s opening day—real-time advance ticket sales reached 574,635 (as of 9:00 a.m.), with a reservation rate of 67.2%, making it the highest-pre-sold film among this year’s releases.
