The movie 'Handsome Guys' (directed by Nam Dong-hyub) continues its long-term success at the box office. In its third week, it has surpassed 1 million viewers. According to the Korean Film Council's integrated computer network, 'Handsome Guys' surpassed 1,001,057 viewers on the afternoon of the 8th. The film's main cast members took a certification shot to celebrate surpassing 1 million viewers.

'Handsome Guys' is an occult comedy film. The main characters are Jae-pil (played by Lee Sung-min) and Sang-goo (played by Lee Hee-jun), who suffer misunderstandings due to their criminal-level appearances. The story unravels as they move into a house possessed by evil spirits.

'Handsome Guys' was released on the 26th of last month. Despite its B-movie feel, it has been praised for its dense plot. It mixes various genres like horror and comedy, and word-of-mouth has played a significant role in its success.

The impromptu acting by the actors is also a highlight. The high-caliber performances by Lee Sung-min and Lee Hee-jun are particularly impressive. Park Ji-hwan’s portrayal of a zombie possessed by evil spirits is a standout moment.
