The animated film "Chiikawa" has surpassed the 1.4 million admissions mark at the Korean box office and is continuing its strong run, according to data from the CGV box office portal.

원문 주장 (KR)
'치이카와' 140만 넘어 순항

Strong Run at the Box Office

The film crossed the 1.4 million admissions threshold and is maintaining steady attendance momentum. The CGV website serves as a primary reference point for the film's performance, though detailed breakdowns of the audience demographic — including the share of moviegoers in their 20s — remain unconfirmed.

The film's popularity has been a notable phenomenon in the Korean theater market, with attendance figures pointing to sustained audience interest rather than a short opening spike.

Audience Makeup Still Unclear

While the overall admission count is firm, statistics on the proportion of viewers in their 20s have not been made available. CGV's site redirects visitors without providing such a breakdown, leaving the demographic composition of the film's audience unverified.

The claim that "Chiikawa" has cruised past 1.4 million admissions is therefore True.
