The new crime thriller ”Comment Unit” raises strong doubts. Teaser and stills released! Comment from director Ahn Gook-jin also released

The "Comment Squad" lurks in modern society and manipulates public opinion. Their target is you. This film is based on the novel of the same name by Jang Kang-myung, which is based on a case of the National Intelligence Service manipulating public opinion.
Director Ahn Gook-jin, who has been garnering attention as a next-generation director in the film industry for his candid yet entertaining satire of Korean society in "Alice in Earnest," has finally released his first new film in nine years, a masterpiece that he also wrote the screenplay for.
The center of public opinion that drives the world is no longer the mass media, but rather cyberspace such as social media and online communities, and today, news can sometimes throw society into chaos.
A new crime thriller has been born that raises strong doubts about "public opinion manipulation," a conspiracy theory lurking in modern society that suggests someone may be controlling the cyberspace in which our public opinions are formed.
The lead actor is Son Sukku, who made his big break in the TV series "My Liberation Diary" and has appeared in "Crime City: The Roundup" and other dramas, and is now known as one of the most influential top actors.
In addition to the above, the film also features a luxurious cast of young actors who have been attracting attention as new stars in the film industry for their excellent acting skills.
The story begins with Im receiving a message from the "Comment Squad," a group that manipulates public opinion, saying, "We manipulated this." What is the truth and what is a lie? Is online information manipulated by someone?
Are these just fake news, or is this really happening? And what exactly is this organization that is bigger than the government? What about social media violence due to anonymity and "online public opinion manipulation"?
Taking a topic that has been making waves in society recently, the film depicts one conspiracy theory after another that lurks in modern society, which is so pervasive that it is almost impossible for anyone else to relate, as symbolized by the line, "public opinion can be easily manipulated."
The video is full of unpredictable developments that are sure to be a joy to watch. "Internet public opinion manipulation" is something we've all heard about before, but it's something that doesn't really exist and no one has actually seen it.
Director Ahn Gook-jin said, "This is a film that shows us the conspiracy theories lurking in modern society. It's not just a story about the internet, but about the world we live in today.
"I want to include everything about the social environment," he said, revealing his intentions. The crime thriller "Comment Unit," which depicts the realistic subject of online public opinion manipulation, will be screened nationwide from Friday, February 14th.
