Son Seok Koo's latest movie 'Night Fishing' has made waves among audiences.

As of 8 a.m. on June 14th, 'Night Fishing' has exceeded 14,800 advance ticket sales, according to real-time bookings from the integrated cinema network.

Despite its brief six-day run at CGV, scheduled from June 14th to 16th and June 21st to 23rd, the film has garnered impressive ticket sales figures.

Especially on its opening day, CGV theaters across Seoul, including Gangnam, Daehangno, Sangbong, Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo, Wangsimni, and Yongsan I'Park Mall, were nearly sold out, with late-night screenings being the only exceptions.

Furthermore, the movie achieved an outstanding pre-sale seat occupancy rate of over 80% across 15 theaters and 55 screenings on its debut day alone.

'Night Fishing' adopts an innovative "snack movie" concept, offering audiences a short and captivating film experience for just one thousand won, which is approximately one dollar. This daring release strategy is expected to set a new trend in the cinema industry.

A distribution official from CGV commented on the success, stating, "Despite the brief six-day screening period, surpassing 10,000 advance ticket sales and ranking 5th in CGV's booking charts is highly encouraging. We look forward to receiving positive feedback from audiences following the film's release and applaud this innovative initiative."

'Night Fishing' is a humanistic thriller that unfolds mysterious events at a dark night electric vehicle charging station, currently drawing enthusiastic audiences.

BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
