Cho Jin-woong, Lee Seong-min, Kim Mu-yeol ‘Confidential’ released

The movie 'Confidential' (directed by Lee Won-tae) has confirmed its release on March 1.

According to distributor Plus M Entertainment on February 1, 'Confidential' was confirmed to be released on March 1. In addition, a teaser poster and trailer were released.

'Confidential' is set in Busan in 1992, and a fierce struggle between Hae-woong (played by Cho Jin-woong), a candidate for the National Assembly, Sun-tae (played by Seong-min Lee), a hidden figure in politics, and Pil-do (played by Mu-yeol Kim), an activist gangster, to turn the tables by holding in their hands secret documents that will shake up the Republic of Korea. A crime drama that unfolds.

The released teaser poster adds to curiosity by capturing the tense appearance of the three characters, Haewoong (played by Jo Jin-woong), Sun-tae (played by Lee Seong-min), and Pil-do (played by Kim Moo-yeol), in a confidential envelope. The meaningful appearance of three characters staring at different places with intense eyes in pitch-black darkness stimulates curiosity about their relationship, which will become inexorably entangled the moment a confidential document containing a secret that will turn the Republic of Korea upside down is opened.

The teaser trailer begins with Haewoong, a late-life National Assembly candidate, secretly trading secret documents that will turn the Republic of Korea upside down in order to end his political career at the bottom. Next, the sharp eyes of Sun-tae, a powerful person with hidden power, who appears along with the powerful line, "Politics is a deal with the devil. If you want to gain power, you have to sell your soul," foreshadows a fierce confrontation with Hae-woong, creating breathtaking tension.

The unstoppable action of Pil-do, an activist gangster who joins hands with Hae-woong, who holds a confidential document, hints at the three characters who begin a fierce battle that is constantly turned over and over again, heralding the birth of a rhythmic crime drama that you can't take your eyes off.
