Song Hye Kyo’s The Priest 2: Dark Nuns is taking the South Korean film industry by storm, overshadowing Song Joong Ki’s Bogotá: City of the Lost. This dramatic turn of events has reignited discussions about the former couple's divorce and their career trajectories post-split.
Scheduled for release on January 24, 2025, The Priest 2: Dark Nuns is already making waves. Song Hyo Kyo's film has climbed to #2 in the daily box office rankings and dominating advanced ticket reservations with over 114,000 tickets sold as of January 20, 2025. Fans eagerly anticipate the film’s gripping plot, which centers around two nuns battling an evil spirit.

During a post-screening Q&A, Song Joong Ki expressed his disappointment, visibly emotional about the lackluster reception. Co-star Lee Sung Min empathized, stating, “Empty theatres are tough for any actor to face.”
