    Hello, I’m a huge fan of your korea box office report. But for this week maybe it might be wrong about your chart cause when i compared with this url http://www.film2.co.kr/boxoffice/boxoffice_final.asp?mkey=1590 ,No.4 and No.5 was wrong. Can you dobble check again? Thanks, Nan

    Sorry, but I don’t know what you are talking about. The two charts seem the same to me.

    Anyhow, thanks for the compliment. I should be back writing about the box office this week.
