Right, it's "The King of Kings" that's waiting for its release in Korea, after its huge box office success in North America.

You're going to give us a rundown of a press conference of the film?

On Wednesday, "The King of Kings" held a press conference in Seoul, where the director and scriptwriter Jang Seong-ho talked about the overall making of the film.

Jang planned to target the North American market, knowing it was the only way to recover the substantial budget needed for the high level of quality he envisioned.

This film is actually Jang's debut film as a director.

He explained that he chose life of Jesus Christ for his debut film because there had never been a major animated film dedicated to the story of Jesus.

"The King of Kings" already set a new record in the U.S. as it became the highest-grossing Korean film, surpassing director Bong Joon-ho's Oscar-winning "Parasite," and is set to hit theaters in 90 nations by the end of this year.

For people in Korea, you can catch it in theaters on July 16th.

Very impressive to see his debut film do so well!

We are going to talk about another film related to a K-pop group.

Usually when K-pop artists release a film, we expect a concert film, but this time it's a bit different?

DAY6 will make their screen debut with "6DAYS," a cinematic road movie that follows the band over six days in the United States.

On Wednesday, DAY6 released a trailer for the film that begins with their hit song "Welcome to the Show."

In the trailer, the members of DAY6 travel to the U.S., briefly experiencing joyful vacation vibes, before facing unpredictable events.

The film reflects on youth, friendship and the group's 10-year journey.

It will feature narrative storytelling with live performances, busking scenes and personal reflections.

"6DAYS" is set to premiere in theaters in August.

Please let us know when the exact premiere date comes out.

Let's end off today's K-enter with a rookie boy group.

K-pop boy group AHOF debuted and simultaneously topped the domestic music charts. Their debut song "Rendezvous," released on Tuesday, reached No.1 on the Bugs TOP 100 real-time chart, immediately after its release.

On top of their debut song, all the other tracks in their first mini-album "WHO WE ARE" entered the chart as well.

The nine-member group was formed through a reality competition show.

AHOF, based on the Korean word for "nine," is an acronym for "All-time Hall of Famer," reflecting the group's ambition to reach the K-pop hall of fame.

With a pleasant start, AHOF has officially launched their debut activities, including holding a commemorative pop-up store and performing on music programs.

Excited to see them thrive in the future.
