Netflix released its new lineup in February after the Lunar New Year holiday on the 30th.
Netflix's new lineup for February drew attention as it included Song Joong-ki's leading film 'Bogota: City of the Lost'.
The film depicts the story of Kook-hee (played by Song Joong-ki) and her family heading to Bogota, Colombia, on the other side of the world, after failing to escape the aftermath set in the 1997 IMF. The work will be available on February 3rd.
Song Joong-ki was directly hit by promotional activities as the Muan Airport disaster overlapped during the film promotion period.
The timing of the promotion was disrupted as the broadcasts of entertainment programs that appeared for the first time in 10 years were pushed back one after another. However, the number of viewers who were quite short of breaking even was largely due to the audience's disregard for the movie itself.
Song Joong-ki and Lee Hee-joon attended the movie 'Bogota: Land of Last Chance' GV held at Megabox in Seongsu-dong, Seoul on the 12th. Actor Lee Sung-min appeared as a guest here. Lee Sung-min was connected with JTBC 'The Youngest Son of a Congregation '
Lee Seong-min "I was heartbroken because the parking lot was empty these days. There seems to be no one in the theater. There are many reasons, but actors are very difficult when there is no audience in the theater. I really want to die if I release a movie in such a period. Still, it's the actors who have to deal with it, so please give us a lot of strength and help us finish our movie well." Song Joong-ki nodded as if he sympathized.

Finally, Song Joong-ki finished his schedule related to Bogota with the end of the `GV.' "I'm truly honored to spend this last time with Sungmin." "As you said, Korean movies are very difficult these days, but I'm grateful that they are in the theater. That's why Korean movies are so difficult Looking at it, I worked harder to promote it than ever before. I want to let them know. I want to look pretty. I want to say thank you to everyone who came to see our movie," he said to the audience.
Song Joong-ki said, `Although our seniors said that the movie board was difficult, our actors' roles should be comforting and funny to you and the audience who are living hard, so we will continue to work hard to make various works and good works and give them strength. Thank you for coming today." But in the end, Song Joong-ki showed tears. Song Joong-ki cleared his voice and wiped away tears, saying "I get emotional talking."
Meanwhile, the movie starring Song Joong-ki and Lee Hee-jun 'Bogota: The Land of the Last Chance' is a story about Kook-hee (Song Joong-ki) heading to Bogota, Colombia, on the other side of the world with new hope right after the IMF, intertwines with Sooyoung (Lee Hee-joon) and Park Byeong-jang (Kwon Hae-hyo), influential figures in the Korean society. The film, which is based on a location in Colombia, costs 12.5 billion won (approx. But it failed to make it to the box office. As of the 29th, the cumulative audience was 420,000. The break-even point of 'Bogota' is 3 million.
In particular, Song Joong-ki seems to have been under greater pressure as he failed to make it three consecutive box office hits, following the films 'Hwaran' and 'Rogi-wan'Bogota: Land of Last Chance'.
Meanwhile, Song Hye-kyo's movie "Black Nuns" released after "Bogota" scored 1.04 million, and Kwon Sang-woo's "Hitman 2" scored 1.26 million.
