Movie 'Hansan: The Emergence of the Dragon' Filmed in Yeosu to Open Nationwide on the 27th

Record-Breaking Hit 'Myeongryang' Sequel... Highlighting Admiral Yi Sun-sin Images, Expected to Boost Local Economy

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] The film "Hansan: Rising Dragon," directed by Kim Han-min and filmed in Yeosu City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Jeong Gi-myeong), will be released nationwide on the 27th.

"Hansan: Rising Dragon" is the sequel to "The Admiral: Roaring Currents," which set the highest box office record to date. The film depicts the great victory of Admiral Yi Sun-sin and the Joseon navy, who turned the tide of war despite overwhelming odds.

The production company, Big Stone Pictures Co., Ltd., built a 5.5 billion KRW filming site starting in June 2020 in Jimo District, Dolsan-eup, including an outdoor set, computer graphics shooting site, Panokseon warship, port village, and miniature sets, and continued filming in areas such as Dolsan and Nam-myeon.

Meanwhile, Yeosu City signed a business agreement with Big Stone Pictures Co., Ltd. in 2020 and provided 300 million KRW as a regional economic incentive for the production of the film "Hansan."

According to the city, approximately 500 million KRW was spent locally on lodging and meals by the film's staff.

A city official stated, "With the release of the film 'Hansan: Rising Dragon,' it is expected that the image of Yeosu, the headquarters of the Jeolla Left Naval Command and the place where Admiral Yi Sun-sin's spirit lives on, will be highlighted," adding, "The lodging and meal expenses consumed by the film staff in the region have also had a significant economic ripple effect."

After the film's release, the production company plans to hold a "citizens invitation screening" at theaters in Yeosu City and conduct stage greetings with the director and cast members.
