After President Park’s assassination, martial law is declared. Security commander Chun Doo-gwang (Hwang Jung-min) and the officers who follow him stage a coup. Lee Tae-shin (Jung Woo-sung), a stubborn commander of the Capital Garrison Command who believes that soldiers should not take political action, fights against Chun Doo-gwang. As the conflict between the two men grows, the military leaders postpone their decisions, and the Minister of Defense disappears. In this chaos, spring in Seoul, which everyone longs for, heads in an unexpected direction.

About 12.12: The Day Movie

12.12: The Day (Korean: 서울의 봄; Seoul-ui bom; Spring in Seoul ) is a South Korean historical action drama film directed by Kim Sung-su, starring Hwang Jung-min, Jung Woo-sung, Lee Sung-min, Park Hae-joon, and Kim Sung-kyun.

Principal photography began in February 2022 and ended in July 2022.

Director Kim Sung-su revealed at the press conference that he was a senior in high school at the time of the Coup d’état of December Twelfth and was living in Hannam-dong, Seoul, where the incident occurred. He left his house and was walking around the neighborhood, and when he heard a gunshot from the Army Chief of Staff’s official residence, he went there, but the soldiers controlled it. He was scared because he heard gunshots all night and he couldn’t get close, but he was full of curiosity and questions at the time because he couldn’t figure out what was going on, which led him to make this film.

The Headquarter of the Korean Army is shot at Headquarter of Kyungpook National University in Daegu, North Gyeongsang Province.

In the film, similar pseudonyms are used instead of the real persons’ names and, although it is based on real events, there are also fictional elements.
