JYJ‘s documentary ‘THE DAY‘ finally opened on the big screens on February 23rd, and it triumphed over ‘War with Crime : Era of the Bad Guys‘ to claim the #1 spot at the box office.
According to the Korean Film Commission, 17.8% of all tickets sold were for JYJ’s ‘THE DAY’, while ‘War With Crime’ came in at #2, selling 17.0%.
‘THE DAY’ is a documentary that reveals footage of the JYJ members living their daily lives and speaking honestly about their dreams and struggles. The film ran into some complications before it actually became possible for it to premiere.
It was first scheduled to air on QTV but the broadcast was unfortunately cancelled, and the film was then planned to premiere on the big screen with CGV but the plans fell through. Finally, the film was confirmed to premiere with Lotte Cinema.
‘THE DAY’ is being played in theaters from February 23rd through the 26th twice a day in Korea. There are 8 theaters playing the documentary in Seoul, 5 in Gyeonggi, 4 in Kyungsang-do, and 2 in both Choongchung and Junra-do.
Meanwhile, following behind ‘THE DAY’ and ‘War with Crime’ are ‘Howling‘ with 12.2%, and ‘Man on a Ledge‘ with 11.8%.

Note to Butterfliesarefree:
Re: your recent comment to me, namely, “Yes, it IS a “big deal”…… Well, The Daily News would tend to agree with you (and a few others here) who went off half-cocked at a moment’s notice and started celebrating when we heard that the showing of the film was BACK ON.
Cheers to all of us jumpers-up-and-down! And Hooray for Our Boys!!
xxoo
HAPPY CAMPERS OF THE WORLD UNITE! 🙂
cheers with both of you 😀 :D:D
LOL. Jumping and clapping. JYJers celebrates 🙂 🙂
not suprised at all. no not even a bit! just proud of them and the fans who made it happen!
@koreamom
same here, im not surprised…but that doesn’t mean we are not jubilant right? even if we already expected this to happen
our JYJ are showing their ticket power in SKorea ` their motherland which deprived them their rights…Go JYJ!!! we are all cheering for the three of you!!!
Yeheyy!
These boys are so not popular! I don’t think there are many people who know them. So, ineffective! Tsk! Tsk!
That’s uri JYJ they are referring to!!!
Dae-to-the-bak^^
Don’t deny the power of JaeJoong, YooChun, JunSu behind JYJ acronyms, simple name yet SUPERIOR! Hope e’thing goes well for today’s screening:) JYJ Fighting!!!
YAY! Great news! I wish I could go to the cinema to watch it though.
Yeah this is awesome news!!!!! I am so happy and proud of JYJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!
maybe the another reason is because JYJ only have 10 % for their appearing in their own home, more Kfans or Jfans can’t see our boys then more precious every thing that related with our boys and JYJ fans gonna do every thing for grab that tiny chance so…..i’m not surprise if the reaction regard our boys documentaries so high and i always proud to JYJ and happy for other JYJ fans
@miaw
Dear Miaw, your words are so true. THIS is what SM’s machinations have wrought: they have created a situation entirely by THEIR actions where an appearance by JYJ seems as precious as GOLD to Korean and Japanese fans who will never give up on them and never leave them — and really — why should they?? JYJ are better than ever. Their music is more relevant and more personal than ever. They are obviously liberated, strong and they are doing what they choose to do now. They are vibrant and creative and their fans wait with bated breath to see what they will do next.
And to all of those lurking SM apologists who take delight in capturing my posts and displaying them elsewhere, I especially hope that this one finds its way back to SM because they really need to know what the sum total of ALL of their attempts to derail JYJ have bought for them.
same here, what turns JYJ to be such a storm of ticket box, crazy sales endorser etc, are the consequence of what SM has been doing to them. No music show, no variety show? ok we do what we can, we go to cinema, we watch their drama, we buy their endorsed product, we buy their CD, DVD, we retweet their tweets, we create fanart, we vote, we cheer for them. JYJ fans are sooooooooo devoted, thanks to SM.
since beginning SM already makes a big mistake and wrong choice and i think it’s gonna keep going
1. their purpose that time only how to makes our boys totally disappeared from entertainment world through a pressure to any media from TV till magazines in SK, they believe that an idol can’t survive with the tight pressure and they must be gonna be forgotten like the previous boyband but they forget that the same method never gonna work again for the same situation and with a different people
2. they create a bad rumor regard our boys so the fans gonna blame them for the split up of DBSK and hate them also they put the other members to give an explanation on the media for makes the strengthen about the bad rumor and these pressure gonna makes JYJ to the desperation state and give up by themselves but they totally underestimate our boys power and spirit, they also forget that the fans not same like a puppet which can be controlled by them because the fans can see, heard and think about the real situation, they also forget about fact that an idol can be popular not only because their abilities or their hard work or because their agency but also because the fandom who always stand with them and sometimes people still underestimate the fandom power
3 they makes the other members to keep the names since they believe that Fans gonna remain with them as long as they have the previous members who agree with that (even thought all of us know that name actually not belong to SM but that names since beginning belong to the 5 members) but they are wrong because the fans more choose the justice regardless the name, because what makes the fans loves the boys not because they are famous or their appearance but their personalities, their music also fans not blind at all with the situation
i think SM and their cronies still never learn from these matters, i don’t know if they are really blind or still believe that money, and authority can bought everything in these world but i also felt grateful because with all of these matter makes our boys became more creative and can found their own abilities
very well said @miaw
“i don’t know if they are really blind or still believe that money, and authority can bought everything in these world” .. they’re not blind.. just too greedy !
@miaw
100% agree. SM underestimated every aspect of the JYJ fandom and JYJ’s own reserves of creativity, strength and fortitude. They of course OVER-estimated their own importance in the continuance of a post DBSK threesome and JYJ’s ability to continue on successfully into the future. Every step of the way, SM got it wrong. One wonders how they have stayed in business as long as they have. Probably by inhuman, over-long slave contracts and dishonest accounting practices which guarantee the great majority of the profits always end up in their pockets. Were they to do business ethically, who knows what would happen to them? And at this point, who cares? They have lost any right to ask for public good will and support or any right to the benefit of the doubt.
@miaw
very well said @miaw, this is “the day of reckoning!”
no one has the right to look down on our gorgeous and multi-talented JYJ
SKorea should protect and uphold their rights!
Go JYJ!
i see LOTTE CINEMA smiling and CGV crying…hahaha…
I wonder if whatever shady deal SM made with CGV is enough to cover for the profit CGV is losing right now on The Day!
@Sapphire
“I wonder if whatever shady deal SM made with CGV is enough to cover for the profit CGV is losing right now on The Day!”
Were they to do such a stupid thing as to actually pay off CGV, then I hope that is one day revealed. It will be important for the SM shareholders to know what kind of asinine decisions are regularly being made using company funds.
AWESOME!
Congratulations my dear JYJ ❤
yeay!! Dae to the Bak guys!! Fighto!!
PROUD PROUD PROUD !!! ^_^
@nomusicnolife

JYJ and JYJ’s Fans are Awesome !
Everything they touch turns to HIT !
I’m so happy for them .. and so envious with Koreans fans 😦
The fact that CGV tried to stop JYJ, and failed, since the situation has turned ard completely…this makes CGV look twice as dumb and impotent.
hear hear ^^
@intoxicatedbyxiahtic
“dumb and impotent”
dumb and dumber…CGV’s catastrophic loss is Lotte’s, JYJ’s gigantic triumph
whoop!
can the DAY play on indonesia cinema toooo i hope for that …. hehehe
