The Korean animation "King of Kings" has drawn over seven-hundred-thousand viewers as of this past Sunday which also noted its 12th day at local theaters.

The film marks the second-fastest pace for a K-animation following "Leafie, A Hen into the Wild" which hit the same milestone in 10 days.

"King of Kings" released on July 16th here in Korea is now also the second-highest-grossing animation for the year in the country following "Attack on Titan: The Last Attack."

The "King of Kings" set a box office record in North America following its debut in April earning more money than Bong Joon-ho's "Parasite".

The animation is based on the book "The Life of Our Lord" by Charles Dickens.
