It wasn't all that long ago that we were talking about the booming Korean film industry. But it looks like... after a record 2013, Korean movies are not shining as much. Our Kwon So-a reports. Korean movies have been less popular than Hollywood movies in the domestic market so far this year, turning over a trend that's developed in recent years. 'No Tears for the Dead' and 'Man on High Heels' are Korean movies that were released earlier this month and star well-established actors like Jang ***-gun and Cha Seung-won. Despite being produced by entertainment giants CJ Entertainment and Lotte Entertainment, they have failed to receive much attention. According to the Korean Film Council on Tuesday, 'No Tears for the Dead' and 'Man on High Heels' have so far attracted 570-thousand and 310-thousand viewers respectively, which pales in comparison to the Hollywood action movie 'Edge of Tomorrow', which has drawn 3 million. In 2012, ticket sales for domestic movies surpassed the 100 million mark for the first time,... and for two consecutive years, Korean films were more popular than those from Hollywood. In the first half of 2014,... Hollywood movies got the better of Korean films by 5-point-6 percentage points. Experts say Korean movies are suffering from the lack of a major hit. 'Miss Granny,' released in January, is the only one that qualifies so far... after drawing more than 4 million viewers. There were four of these super hits all of last year. Film critic Jeong Ji-wook thinks the reason may be a lack of creativity. Whereas films last year tapped into creative concepts,... he says domestic films so far this year have depended more on their star power. With the year nearly half over, there are concerns that the domestic film market may not surpass the 100-million mark. Kwon Soa, Arirang News.
