Korean movies dominated the domestic box office last month where three out of four moviegoers saw a Korean film. The Korean Film Council said Korean cinematic hits took 75.9 percent of the market in February, up 26 percent from January's ticket sales.

The last time Korean films took over 70 percent of the domestic box office since the nation relaxed a screen quota to allow more foreign movies was in September 2011.

"Nameless Gangster," a gangster flick set in the 1980s, topped the charts, followed by Uhm Jung-hwa's "Dancing Queen," the thriller "Howling" and the political drama "Unbowed."
