Ma Dong-seok and Lee Jun-hyuk are coming to release ‘Crime City 3’

The movie 'Crime City 3' (directed by Lee Sang-yong) has confirmed its release on May 31.

According to distributor Avio Entertainment on the 26th, 'Crime City 3' has confirmed its release on May 31. Along with this, a teaser poster was released.

'Crime City 3' follows monster detective Ma Seok-do (played by Ma Dong-seok), who moves to Gwangsu University in Seoul and catches Joo Seong-cheol (played by Lee Jun-hyuk), the mastermind behind a new drug crime case, and Ricky (played by Munetaka Aoki), another villain involved in the drug case. It depicts an exhilarating crime-fighting operation carried out for the sake of the audience.

'Crime City 3' will be released in the same month as 'Crime City 2', which was released last year and attracted 10 million viewers, and is expected to revitalize Korean movies and theaters. The released teaser poster captures the cool and exciting action of monster detective Ma Seok-do, who moved to Gwangsu University in Seoul. 'Crime City 3', which completely wipes away stress with just the poster itself, just like the copy that says, "Wipe it away," once again raises expectations for the refreshing action of a monster detective who plays an active part in a bigger situation after moving to a department.

The teaser trailer attracts attention with a feast of Ma Dong-seok's bare-fisted actions that literally require no explanation, along with the phrase "No further explanation is omitted." Here, the strong appearance of Joo Seong-cheol, a third-generation villain who was shrouded in mystery, takes center stage. Joo Seong-cheol, who barges in without any hesitation and announces that he is behind the drug incident with the line, “Did the police take your drugs away?”, even shows off his opponent's face mercilessly.

The confrontation between Joo Seong-cheol, who once again raises expectations for the unique strength of the villains in the 'Crime City' series, and the monster detective Ma Seok-do, who has begun the investigation in earnest, is already stimulating curiosity. While Lee Jun-hyuk's acting transformation is raising expectations, Joo Seong-cheol's overwhelming appearance also stimulates curiosity about the existence of another villain, Ricky, who has not yet been revealed.
