JAKARTA - The newest film from the world of Train to Busan, Peninsula was welcomed by the people of South Korea. The Korean Film Council reported that Peninsula reached 352,930 viewers in one broadcast day.

The public's longing for watching movies is unstoppable. Previously, the #ALIVE film starring Yoo Ahn In smoothly won 204,071 viewers within one day of broadcast.

This happened because of the COVID-19 pandemic where the entertainment area in Ginseng Country had to be closed for months. However, when they succeeded in reducing the number of cases, slowly entertainment facilities such as cinemas were opened.

"We're releasing films when times are tough, so it's a meaningful achievement," said Lee Dong Ha, producer of Peninsula. He and director Yeon Sang Ho will focus on seeing how long the film will last for the box office title.

Apart from starring well-known actors, this film was included in the screening list of the Cannes Film Festival. Unfortunately this year there is no Cannes celebration.

Peninsula is a film that is highly anticipated by audiences both in South Korea and internationally. This film is a continuation of the worldwide successful film Train to Busan with a fantastic audience.

Starring Kang Dong Won and Lee Jung Hyun, Peninsula tells of a Jung Seok (Kang Dong Won) who is on a mission in an abandoned area. He must face the zombies that control the area.

In the area, Jung Seok meets Minjung (Lee Jung Hyun) who also survived a zombie attack.

Reportedly, the Peninsula film has been bought by several countries, including Indonesia, for its screening. However, considering the pandemic that has not yet subsided, it seems that international audiences must accumulate patience to watch this thriller film.
