A Korean film that reached a Netflix weekly top 10 in 6 of 93 markets, holding 12 chart places across 5 weeks between 2022-06-19 and 2025-06-15. Its best position anywhere was number 1.
What a place is. A place is one appearance in one country's weekly top 10. A title that sat at number 4 in Vietnam for three weeks holds three places there. Reach counts the countries a title appeared in at least once, out of 93.
We will not say, and neither can the chart. Netflix's country lists record that a title held a top-ten place in a country in a week. They do not record how many people watched it, what it cost, or what anyone expected of it — and those are the three things the words hit and flop are actually about.
What we can tell you is where it sits. Of the 559 Korean titles with a page here, 288 reached more markets than Way Home and 258 reached fewer. It travelled further than the typical Korean title that charted at all, which reached 2.
That is a position, not a verdict. A title can hold a hundred chart places in small markets and a title can hold four in the largest ones; the file does not say which of those a person means by success. You have the shape — the judgement is yours.
| Way Home | Median Korean title that charted | |
|---|---|---|
| Markets reached | 6 | 2 |
| Weeks on a chart somewhere | 5 | 4 |
| Chart places held | 12 | 5 |
The median is taken across all 976 Korean titles that reached any country top 10, most of which charted in one or two markets. This is a comparison, not a ranking — we do not publish a league of titles, and a title well above the median is a title that travelled, not a title that is better.
It reached 6 markets in all. The most that held it in the same week was 4 — the week of 2025-06-01.
Those two figures are different achievements. Reaching 6 markets over 5 weeks and holding 4 of them in one week are not the same event, and a single "markets" column cannot tell them apart. Netflix publishes neither figure; both are counted here from the weekly country lists.
How it left. Counting each country separately, it ended 6 runs on a chart. The middle one ended from position 6, and 1 of 6 ended from positions 8 to 10. Across all Korean titles that figure is 56.8%, and it would be 30% if leaving had nothing to do with position — how a title leaves has the whole table.

Markets are in alphabetical order, not in order of size. A market name is a link only where that country has a page of its own; the rest are plain text rather than a link that goes nowhere.
| Year | Places |

| 2025 | 9 |
⚠ 2021 and 2026 are part years — Netflix's weekly country lists start 2021-07-04 and our copy ends 2026-08-16, so those two rows cover fewer weeks than the others and cannot be compared with them.
Other Korean titles on this site that share a named person or a credited company with Way Home. The reason is given beside each one, because a shared name is the only claim being made — not that the two are alike.
The same weekly files, cut five other ways. Each of these answers a question this page cannot: not what happened to Way Home, but what happened around it.

From Wikidata, listed alphabetically. A credit is not a share of the work — it records that a company is attached, not how much of the budget or the decision it held. Companies inside one corporate group are listed separately because we did not confirm the ownership tree. The credit type is given in English with the original Korean label in brackets, because that label is what the filing says and translating it away would hide the source.
