'4.25 million viewers laughed.''Cho Jung-seok's One-Man Show 'Pilot' continues to be a hit in the fourth week.'
The comedy film 'pilot' (directed by Kim Hang-yeol, produced by Short Cake and Movirak) ranked first in the Korean movie box office on the fourth weekend of its release.

'Pilot' continued its success that did not cool down even in the fourth week of its release, recording a cumulative audience of 4.25 million,3082 at 7 a.m. on the 26th based on the integrated computer network for movie theater tickets.

Since its release, 'pilot' has been loved by explosive audiences and has been in a viral box office race for 14 consecutive days, topping the entire movie box office and retaking the box office top spot on the 15th, beating 'Alien: Romulus'. Even in its fourth week of release, 'pilot', which has consistently maintained its No. 1 ranking in the Korean movie box office, is expected to continue to be loved as an all-weather comedy film that can be enjoyed by both men and women of all ages in theaters until September.

'pilot', which is showing the back of the box office thanks to the reliable recommendation fever of 4 million viewers, has been in a long-term box office race, just like the patterns of recent box office films.

'pilot' is the only comedy genre in the summer theater, and it is said to have caught popular and fresh fun. As a movie that can be enjoyed by all generations, the favorable reviews of audiences of various ages, from elementary school to middle-aged, are the biggest driving force for long-term box office word-of-mouth.

Elementary school students, who did not know Cho Jung-seok's existence, fell in love with his outstanding performance, and middle-aged people who were interested in the news of the appearance of Lee Chan-won's fan club 'Chance' are actually fascinated by the fun of the movie and word of mouth is accumulating. In addition, the stable acting skills of screen blue chips, including Lee Joo-myung, Han Seon-hwa, and Shin Seung-ho, are said to have added abundant fun of 'pilot'.

'Pilot', which is loved as a cool summer vacation movie that was hotter than ever before, is set to challenge for a long box office flight until September.

'Pilot' is a story about a man who became unemployed overnight in a star pilot and succeeded in re-employment after a drastic transformation. Cho Jung-seok, Lee Joo-myung, Han Seon-hwa, and Shin Seung-ho appeared, and director Kim Han-kyul of 「Most Ordinary Love」 took the megaphone.
