‘Illang: The Wolf Brigade’ loses momentum at box office
By Yim Hyun-su
“Illang: The Wolf Brigade,” starring actor Gang Dong-won, has been pushed out of the top five spots on the box office charts just eight days after its release.
The film based on the Japanese animation series “Jin-Roh” continues to slip on the charts, according to the Korean Film Council.
The action film, which was released on July 23, has yet to reach 1 million cinemagoers. It has to attract more than 6 million people to make a profit.

“Illang” is set in the Korean Peninsula in 2029 as both Koreas try to reunite over a seven-year preparation period while facing strong opposition from armed terror groups.
