An independent film titled 'The Man Who Fails in Business 6 Times' is being produced based on the 'LUNA Coin Crash' that dealt a huge blow to the global financial sector in 2022.
The film 'Death Business' (English title) is a story about young people who, after abusing youth, women, and disabled bonus points to fraudulently receive youth entrepreneurship support funds, intentionally go bankrupt and close their businesses, but then make an irreversible choice when they coincidentally receive Series A investment in a virtual currency service.
'Sa·Mang·Nam' covers the story of young entrepreneurs in six parts from 2009 to 2023. It unfolds the dark reality faced by young people and the dark side of startup investment in a black comedy format.
Actor Song Jae-rim was cast as the main character 'Yang Do-hyeon' who receives youth startup support funds and repeats intentional bankruptcy and closure of businesses, and actor Ahn Woo-yeon was cast as 'Kang Ji-woo'. Actor Min Sung-wook was cast as 'Kevin', a venture capital investor who decides to provide hundreds of millions of won in investment funds, actress So Hee-jung was cast as Yang Do-hyeon's mother 'Okja', and actress Cha Jung-won was cast as 'Ha Kyung-jin', a character who induces and introduces illicit receipt of funds through startup competitions.
'Sa·Mang·Nam' was directed by new female director Hyun Hae-ri, who started out as a current affairs and cultural PD at a broadcasting station and has directed many reportage films with social criticism messages.
Director Hyun's 'The Woman Who Only Worked as a Contract Worker 9 Times', produced last year, was well-received when it was entered into the 'Korea OTT Showcase' section of the Cannes Drama Festival in France in April 2023.
The current director stated his directing intentions as follows: "As this is an independent film, I will try to tell a sharp and pointed story that is not obsessed with political ideology as realistically as possible, and I will also include comedic elements so that the audience does not feel tired or uncomfortable."
Meanwhile, 'The Return of Superman' is scheduled to go into post-production at the end of this month and be released in the first half of next year.
