The film Officer Black Belt, starring Kim Woo Bin, has claimed the number one spot on Netflix's Global TOP 10 Movies (Non-English) list for three weeks straight since its release!

According to Netflix's official TOP 10 website,Officer Black Belt gathered 5.1 million views from September 23 to 29. This impressive number was calculated by dividing the total viewing hours by the film's runtime. The movie has also made it into the TOP 10 list in 46 countries, including Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, Brazil, Peru, and Germany.

Released on September 13, Officer Black Belt is an action-packed film about Lee Jeong-do, a 9th-degree black belt in Taekwondo, Kendo, and Judo, who becomes a probation officer. He is tasked with monitoring electronic bracelet wearers 24/7 to prevent crime, a suggestion from fellow officer Kim Seon-min.

In this film, Kim Woo Bin plays the enthusiastic Lee Jeong-do, showing off a new side of himself. His impressive physicality and looks make it hard to picture anyone else in this role. For this character, he fully bleached his hair blonde for the first time and committed to three to four hours of daily training in Taekwondo, Kendo, and Judo to perfect his action scenes. His hard work has helped Officer Black Belt win over audiences and continue its box office success as it heads into its fourth week.
