In the end, media reports claim it registered 85,000 or 90,000 viewer admissions in the South Korean domestic market, a far better performance than other recent documentaries such as the 2002 "Yeongmae" (영매, 20,000 viewers), the 2004 "Repatriation" (송환, 30,000 viewers) or the 2006 "Bisang" (비상, 40,000 viewers); it was suggested this might be a new domestic record. Director Kim Myeong-joon received the Kim Yong-gun Memorial Society prize in relation to his work on the film.
