[E-Daily Starin Choi Hee-jae Reporter] The movie "Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub" (Tazza 4) has topped the box office, surpassing "The Assassin(s)." Despite its "No Minors Allowed" rating, the film has steadily drawn audiences since its release and has surpassed 900,000 cumulative viewers.

According to the Korean Film Council’s integrated computer network on the 29th, “Tazza 4” took the No. 1 spot at the box office on the 28th, drawing 68,913 viewers. Its cumulative audience count stands at 901,929.
“Tazza 4” is a crime thriller in which Jang Tae-young (Byeon Yo-han)—who thought he had it all thanks to his online casino business—and his best friend of the same name, Park Tae-young (Noh Jae-won), who took everything from him, meet again on the global gambling scene to settle the score. As the final installment in the 20-year-old “Tazza” series, it is gaining traction through word of mouth despite its “No Minors Allowed” rating.
“The Assassin(s),” which had held the No. 1 spot at the box office since its release, took second place. Starring Yoo Hae-jin, Park Hae-il, and Lee Min-ho, “The Assassin(s)” drew 67,406 viewers, bringing its cumulative total to 1,633,621.
“The Assassin(s)” took third place, drawing 31,359 viewers, with its cumulative attendance continuing to rise. Next, “Possible Love” ranked fourth with 14,418 viewers, and “The Intern” came in fifth with 12,537 viewers.
Meanwhile, as of 7:00 a.m. on the 29th, the animated film *Chiikawa: The Secret of the Mermaid Island*, set to open on the 30th, is leading the real-time ticket sales rankings. It has sold 201,592 tickets, accounting for 40.1% of total ticket sales.
In second place is “The Assassin(s),” which recorded 58,353 tickets sold—the highest among Korean films. “Odyssey” took third place with 56,190 tickets, “Tazza 4” took fourth with 47,849 tickets, and “The Resurrected Man: The Red” took fifth with 45,958 tickets.
With “Tazza 4” claiming the top spot at the box office, attention is focused on whether “Assassins” will maintain its strong opening momentum and how much new releases—such as “Chiikawa” and “The Resurrected: The Red,” both opening on the 30th—will be able to draw audiences away from the current box office hits.
