Movie 'No Other Choice' surpassed 2 million viewers on October 6, just 13 days after its release, and unveiled its 4th official poster.

Previously, the movie hit 1 million viewers in just 4 days after its release and easily exceeded its break-even point of about 1.3 million. By hitting 2 million viewers on the 13th day, the movie has now surpassed the final score of 'Decision to Leave' (1.9 million viewers). This achievement further proves Park Chanwook's power.

'No Other Choice' tells the story of Mansu (played by Lee Byunghun), an office worker who once thought he had achieved everything in life, only to be suddenly fired. As he fights to protect his wife, two children, and the house he worked so hard to purchase, he embarks on a desperate personal battle toward re-employment.
