The movie 'The Roundup', which ran on a box-office track from the first day of its release, surpassed 10 million viewers.

According to the integrated computer network of the Film Promotion Committee on June 13th, "The Roundup' surpassed 10.5 million viewers, surpassing the final number of viewers of the topical work 'Parasite".

While 'The Roundup' is showing its undying potential, the '10 million promise' made by actor Son Seok Koo is being re-examined.

Son Seok Koo appeared on SBS Power FM's 'Two O'Clock Escape Cultwo Show' on June 2nd and said, "If the audience exceeds 10 million, I will come back and sing on 'Cultwo Show'."

Then, Son Seok Koo announced, "I will sing Harim's 'Departure' ", raising the fans' expectations vertically.

In the '2 O'Clock Escape Cultwo Show' broadcast on June 13th, DJ Kim Tae Gyun also drew attention by mentioning Son Seok Koo's 10 million promise.

Kim Tae Gyun said, "Because you made a promise, the production team will still be trying to contact you."

Son Seok Koo is already famous among fans for his excellent singing skills.

Son Seok Koo appeared on KBS Cool FM's 'Raise the volume of Kang Han Na' in 2020 and sang the late Kim Kwang Seok's famous song 'Around 30' without accompaniment.

At the time, Son Seok Koo didn't have any special technique, but just by listening to it, he boasted a comfortable tone and made both eyes close.

Attention is focused on whether Son Seok Koo will keep his 10 million promise by singing with a sweet voice in the near future.

Meanwhile, Son Seok Koo rose to the ranks of 'popular actors' by hitting hits in JTBC's 'My Liberation Notes' and 'The Roundup'.
