Parasite to Train to Busan: Exploring Korea’s Top-Grossing Films of All Time
If you’re interested in South Korean cinema that combines exceptional direction, meaningful themes, captivating narratives, and breathtaking visuals, then you shouldn’t miss these highest-grossing Korean movies.
At the forefront of the list are ground-breaking hits like Bong Joon-ho’s 2019 Oscar-winner Parasite and Yoon Je-kyun’s 2014 masterpiece Ode to My Father, which managed to achieve global acclaim with their exceptional storylines. The former made box-office History by becoming the first South Korean Oscar-winning film to take home four Academy Awards — Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best International Feature Film, at the 92nd Academy Awards. Meanwhile, the latter, starring popular actor Hwang Jung-min, became the 11th highest-grossing Korean movie to surpass 10 million ticket sales after its release on 17 December 2014.
Meanwhile, drawing inspiration from the Korean Joseon dynasty Buddhist paintings and early Buddhist texts of the Ten Kings of Hell is the Ha Jung-woo starrer Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds (2017). One of the highest-grossing movies in South Korean cinema History, the fantasy thriller topped the box office with over USD 2.9 million gross on its first day, reports the Korean Film Council.
