In second place is "Innocent Witness". With 138,917 admissions, the film is continuing to do well on word of mouth. It's cumulative total stands at 1,834,485 admissions.

In third place we finally see one of the new opening films. "A Resistance", about teenage Korean prisoner turned independence heroine Yu Gwan-sun, marked 102,749 admissions.

In fourth place, "Extreme Job" continues to hold on to its second place all-time record. The film earned 89,179 admissions for a cumulative total of 15,632,676 admissions.

In fifth place "Race to Freedom: Um Bok Dong" opened with 51,524 admissions. This is quite low considering the strength of its cast.

In sixth place, "Trade Your Love" opened with 23,239 admissions. This is similarly underwhelming, although perhaps not as much given that expectations are naturally lower for a romantic comedy.
