South Korean movie ‘Crypto Man’ set to premiere in January 2025

The South Korean movie titled ‘Crypto Man’ starring late actor Song Jae-rim is scheduled for release on Jan. 15, 2025. The movie is inspired by true events from a $34.9 billion crypto crash. According to South Korean media JTBC , The movie’s director, Hyun Hae-ri stated that the movie was based on true events related to South Korea’s crypto crash, which resulted in major financial losses amounting to more than 50 trillion won ($34.9 billion). Though, Hyun did not specify which case it was, she said that a large number of victims are “still awaiting a final ruling from judicial authorities.” Hyun Hae-ri is most famous for directing the film “Nine Times Fired,” which premiered at the Cannes International Drama Festival. Hyun is known for her socially conscious documentaries. “I will present it as realistically as possible while also being sharp, and include elements of dark comedy,” said Hyun, adding that the production team had to go through “rigorous legal consultation” in the making of the movie. The movie stars the late actor Song Jae-rim, who died in his home in November 2024. His death was ruled a suicide after the police reportedly found a suicide note at the scene.
