[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] The film 'Kingmaker' is set to meet audiences during the Lunar New Year holiday.

On the 4th, Megabox Joongang Corp. Plus M announced that 'Kingmaker' (directed by Byun Sung-hyun) is confirmed to be released on the 26th of this month.

Previously, 'Kingmaker' was scheduled to be released on the 29th of last month, but it was announced that the release would be temporarily postponed considering the spread of COVID-19. Recently, movie theaters changed their screening restrictions from after 10 PM to allowing audience entry until 9 PM.

'Kingmaker' depicts the drama that begins as politician Kim Un-bum, who challenges to change the world, and the election strategist Seo Chang-dae, whose existence and name are hidden, jump into a fierce election battlefield. Actors Seol Kyung-gu and Lee Sun-kyun play the roles of the politician and strategist, respectively.

The newly released character trailer features Kim Un-bum delivering a bold presidential assassination speech with intense charisma in the rain. The line, “It's not about how you win, but why you must win,” conveys his firm belief that the purpose and legitimacy of the means must accompany victory.

Following this, the election strategist Seo Chang-dae, whose existence and name are hidden, makes a strong entrance with the line, “Seo Chang-dae, here to help with the election campaign.” He confidently delivers a speech in front of Kim Un-bum’s campaign team, turning the atmosphere around and showing his meticulous strategist side.
