*[What is Kyungsung Lady, the Film Taking Japan by Storm?]

[Kyungsung Lady Tops Japan's Trending List, Poised to Dominate Theaters!]

Opening day audience: 124,000 tickets sold.

The number sent shockwaves through the Korean media industry.

Kyungsung Lady had already been making headlines in Korea—
But no one expected it to explode overseas like this.

"Does anyone here know any of the actors from Kyungsung Lady?"
"One of my cousin’s coworkers was on the production team. Should I reach out?"
"Of course! Why are you even asking? Hurry up and call them!!"

Naturally, every broadcasting station rushed to produce special segments on Kyungsung Lady.

YouTube channels scrambled to put together reaction videos.

Journalists tracked down actors and crew members for interviews.

It was that big of a deal.

— Is 124,000 tickets on opening day a lot for Japan?
— Not just a lot. It’s literally #1 at the Japanese box office right now.
— ???
— Wait, seriously?
— LMAO WHAT?! A KOREAN FILM IS #1 IN JAPAN?
— Well, to be fair, Japan did provide some production support.
— Nah, let’s be real, 80% of this is because of Ju Seoyeon.

The Power of One Actress.

Some might say it was just Ju Seoyeon’s influence—
But the buzz she had stirred up in Japan before the film even premiered was insane.

The First Love Moment Connection.@@novelbin@@

Ju Seoyeon had made a cameo in First Love Moment, a drama directed by Japan’s legendary filmmaker, Kakeba Hiro.

In Korea, it was just another guest appearance.
In Japan?

A national event.

When First Love Moment aired, it hit 32% peak viewership—
The second highest rating of the Reiwa era.

At the time of filming, it wasn’t that popular yet.
But now?
