Song Joong Ki's film ”Bogota: Wandering Land” reaches No. 1 on Netflix worldwide in one day, washing away the pain of its initial box office failure

The film "Bogota: Wandering Land" (hereinafter "Bogota") starring actor Song Joong Ki, became the most viewed film globally upon its release on Netflix.
According to FlixPatrol, an online video service (OTT) viewing ranking aggregation site, on the 6th, "Bogota" was the No. 1 streaming video on Netflix as of the 5th.
"Bogota" was released on Netflix on the 4th, ranking first in the global viewing rankings for movies.
The film topped the global OTT charts within a day of its release, and lead actor Song Hyun became a Korean star.
- This proves that Joon Gi is still a hot topic. "Bogota" ranked first in views in 26 countries, including Korea, Brazil, Colombia, Honduras, and Hong Kong.
It ranked 7th and 9th in the United States and the United Kingdom, and 4th in France and Germany. "Bogota" is a story about a man who went to Colombia, the other side of the world, with new hopes after the Korean currency crisis.
The film tells the story of how Song Joong Ki, who travels to Bogota in the late 19th century, becomes entangled with Suyeong (Lee HeeJun), the powerful figure in the Korean community in Bogota, and Sergeant Park (Kwon Hea Hyo).
Actor Song Joong Ki plays the lead role of "Kukki," a young man in his 30s who has risen from a young teenager to the chairman of a Korean merchant company in Colombia after going through various ups and downs and conflicts.
"Bogota," which was released at the end of last year, was the first Korean film to be shot on location in Colombia, and is a major production with a production budget of 12.5 billion won and a break-even point of about 3 million viewers.
However, after its release, it suffered poor box office results, attracting only 420,000 viewers in Korea.
The screening and promotional environment was not good, as it coincided with the national mourning period immediately after the state plane crash. Song Joong Ki shed tears during the final stage greeting of "Bogota."
"The situation for Korean movies is very difficult," he said, "I wanted to work harder than ever to promote the movie and get the word out, and I wanted to make it look good.
"I want to thank everyone who comes to see my film," he said. "Bogota" was eventually added to Netflix about four weeks after its release.
However, the film was ranked number one globally within a day of its release, garnering attention from audiences around the world, and it helped to wash away some of the disappointment over its failure to achieve box office success in theaters.
That's the reaction.
