'Spring in Seoul' is a movie depicting the 9 hours of desperate action to prevent the rebellion of the new military regime that occurred in the capital, Seoul, on December 12, 1979.

Jeong Man-sik will play the role of Special Forces Commander Gong Soo-hyuk, one of the three people in charge of the defense of the metropolitan area along with Capital Security Command Commander Lee Tae-shin (Jung Woo-sung) and Military Police Superintendent Kim Jun-yeop (Kim Sung-kyun), and will leave a strong impression with his unique charisma.

Director Kim Seong-soo believed, "Gong Soo-hyuk had to be Jeong Man-sik. Only Jeong Man-sik can play such a strong man who protects the honor and pride of a special forces commander even at the risk of death." As if responding to that belief, Jeong Man-sik shows Gong Soo-hyuk himself, who stood tall like a rocky mountain and fought against injustice until the end.

Jung Hae-in played the role of Major Oh Jin-ho, a special forces soldier who stood by the special forces commander until the end against the attack of the 4th Airborne Brigade, which came to subdue the commander. Director Kim Seong-su, who was impressed by Jung Hae-in's acting in 'DP', asked director Han Jun-hee for help. Fortunately, actor Jung Hae-in willingly joined, and director Kim Seong-soo revealed that Jung Hae-in played "Major Oh Jin-ho, who showed the courage and responsibility of a true soldier," raising expectations for the role of Major Oh Jin-ho that Jung Hae-in, with his unwavering and upright image, will portray.
