Riding a box-office wave, the film Colony will host a special merch screening to celebrate actor Ji Chang-wook's birthday.
The screenings will take place at 2 p.m. on July 5, Ji Chang-wook's actual birthday, at Lotte Cinema Daejeon Central (Auditorium 6) and Lotte Cinema Dongseong-ro in Daegu (Auditorium 6). Every attendee for those showtimes will receive two character posters featuring Ji Chang-wook's look from the film.
After learning the event would be held only in Daejeon and Daegu—not in Seoul—netizens voiced disappointment, commenting, "Why only outside Seoul?" and "Seoul fans want them too."
Meanwhile, since its release on the 21st of last month, Colony has ridden strong word of mouth to surpass 5.61 million cumulative admissions, injecting fresh energy into the box office.
