Actor Lee Jong-won celebrated a major milestone by sharing a playful social media post alongside co-star Kim Hye-yoon, expressing gratitude as their film reached 1.5 million ticket sales.
The post featured both actors dressed in spooky costumes — one wearing a vampire-inspired look while the other donned a blood-stained dress. Their humorous expressions added a lighthearted touch to the celebratory announcement.
The horror film tells the story of a filming crew who discover something mysterious on a street-view map. When they return to a reservoir to reshoot footage, they encounter something dark lurking beneath the water’s surface, setting off a series of terrifying events.
In the movie, Kim Hye-yoon and Lee Jong-won portray former lovers, bringing authentic chemistry to their on-screen relationship. The film’s success has sparked a trend of fans visiting the actual reservoir location that served as the backdrop for the story.
Despite being a niche horror genre film, word-of-mouth buzz helped it quickly surpass its break-even point and continue drawing audiences. The entire cast — including the director and all performers — held a special fan appreciation event where they appeared in full ghost makeup to thank moviegoers for their support.
The film continues to build momentum as audiences share their experiences online and offline.
