Hyeri Promotes Victory Amidst Box Office Struggles
Actress and Girl's Day member Hyeri remains passionately committed to promoting her film ‘Victory’, despite the film's underwhelming performance at the box office. On August 21, Hyeri took to Instagram to share her dedication, posting several photos and a message that reflects her unwavering enthusiasm for the project.
Hyeri’s Enthusiastic Promotion
In her Instagram posts, Hyeri can be seen holding a promotional sign for ‘Victory’ with the message "Urgently recruiting people to watch ‘Victory’." The film, which highlights the journey of the "Millennium Girls," a cheerleading club striving to make a mark despite their lack of experience, is portrayed as an energetic and heartwarming story. Hyeri plays the role of Chu Pil Seon, a dedicated dancer with dreams of becoming a professional, and delivers a heartfelt performance that resonates with her personal experiences.
Emotional Connection and Box Office Struggles
Hyeri's emotional investment in the film is evident from her reaction during the press screening, where she was moved to tears by the positive feedback. She shared that watching the film brought back personal memories and described it as a project she feels deeply connected to, even though she was not from that era. This emotional connection highlights her commitment to the film's success.
Unfortunately, despite Hyeri's efforts and emotional involvement, ‘Victory’ has not performed as well as hoped. The film debuted in 5th place at the box office, drawing 36,258 viewers on its first day. A week later, the cumulative attendance is around 220,000, far below the break-even point of 2 million viewers. The slow start suggests that ‘Victory’ may face significant challenges in achieving box office success.
Hyeri's continued efforts to promote the film underscore her dedication, even as ‘Victory’ struggles to attract a larger audience.
