The movie ‘Wicked’, which is achieving the highest box office records in North America, South Korea, and around the world, is focusing attention by confirming the production of a sequel, ‘Wicked’ Part 2. ‘Wicked’ announced its first worldwide release in South Korea and recorded an overwhelming #1 spot at the box office for six consecutive days, and its North American opening is continuing its phenomenal box office syndrome by recording the highest opening score of any Broadway musical-based movie of all time. Thanks to this box office magic that continues day after day, expectations for the sequel, ‘Wicked’ Part 2, are also rising. Not only has the production of Part 2 been made official from the production stage, but the release date has been confirmed for November 2025, raising the interest of fans around the world. In particular, in Korea, there have been many reviews saying, “The intermission is only a year away, but it’s worth the wait,” so the fans‘ response is expected to be even hotter.

The movie ‘Wicked’ is a story about the unexpected crises and adventures that two completely different characters encounter as they build a friendship: ‘Elphaba’ (Cynthia Erivo), who has not yet discovered her true power, and ‘Glinda’ (Ariana Grande), who has not yet discovered her true nature. With the news of a sequel being released thanks to this explosive global box office hit, the anticipation of domestic audiences is rising, and the musical blockbuster ‘Wicked’​, which continues to dominate the box office in Korea and around the world, is currently showing in theaters nationwide.
