'The Informant' Arrives in Theaters, Igniting the K-Comedy Box Office Race

Get ready for a laugh riot as "The Informant" prepares to take over the box office with its unique K-comedy charm. The film is set to premiere on the 3rd.

"The Informant" follows the story of Oh Nam-hyuk (Heo Seong-tae), a disgraced ace detective, who unexpectedly finds himself entangled in a massive case alongside a seasoned informant, Jo Tae-bong (Jo Bok-rae). This crime action comedy promises a hilarious ride filled with unexpected twists.

Even before its official release, "The Informant" garnered significant attention and critical acclaim. It was selected as the opening film for the 24th New York Asian Film Festival and snagged the Best Picture award in the Foreign Language Film category at the 2025 Asia International Film Festival. These accolades highlight the film's quality beyond just entertainment.

Following overwhelmingly positive reactions from preview screenings, anticipation is soaring for "The Informant." The burning question remains: can this K-comedy blockbuster overcome stiff competition from films like "Zootopia 2" and "The People Upstairs" to claim the top spot at the box office?

Netizens are buzzing about the movie's release, with comments like 'Can't wait to see Heo Seong-tae's comedic performance!', 'It was the opening film at the NY Asian Film Fest, so I have to watch it!', and 'It feels like ages since we had a refreshing comedy action movie like this.'
