Ha Jung-woo‘s third directorial film, ‘Lobby’, has taken first place in overall ticket reservations two days before its release.

‘Lobby’ is the story of startup CEO Chang-wook (Ha Jung-woo), who knows nothing but research, as he begins his first lobby golf game in his life to win a 4 trillion won national project.

According to the integrated computer network for movie tickets on March 31, ‘Lobby’ took first place in overall ticket reservations just two days before its release. Accordingly, expectations are growing that ‘Lobby’, along with ‘Give’, will revitalize the sluggish theater industry and Korean films.

‘Lobby’ is especially receiving favorable reviews, heightening the audience’s expectations and curiosity. After the preview, reactions poured in, starting with ‘A crazy movie that is strange and funny’, “A black comedy movie full of Ha Jung-woo‘s signature wit”, “A strange and fun movie that inherited the DNA of ‘Roller Coaster’, “‘Comedy master’ Ha Jung-woo takes over the theaters with a feast of laughter”, “The acting talents also completed the play with a solid ensemble”, “Director Ha Jung-woo’s wit completed with his trustworthy gems”.
