Netizens concerned over increasing number of failed movies

In addition to music and dramas, Korea is also known for producing amazing movies with interesting and unique story lines. 

However, the Korean movie industry has been suffering lately, with many movies failing to make any profit at all in the box office. According to netizens, Korean movies have become boring and fans who go to the movies would rather watch Hollywood films instead.

With such poor box office performances from most of the Korean films that have come out so far this year, netizens agree that the movie industry is definitely in trouble.

  • This may be off topic but people keep uploading movies on to Facebook and I just want to report them..when my friends tag their friends they disappoint me
  • Personally Korean movies are boring, cliche and the story has such weak flow. So I find myself watching Hollywood films that are on a big scale
  • I’ve only seen Zootopia recently
  • There used to be so many masterpieces like 300 pound beauty, Monster and King’s Man
