Additional information

In 1968, North Korean Special soldiers infiltrated South Korea to assassinate
South Korea President PARK Jeong-hee. The mission failed, but South
Korean government got shocked and decided to set up the special unit
consisting of criminals to make human armories with the mission of
assassinating North Korea leader, KIM Il-sung, for the revenge.

About one out of every five Koreans has seen the domestic action film
"Silmido" since it opened on Christmas Eve. As of noon yesterday, more
than 10 million tickets for the movie had been sold, setting a record, said
Cinema Service, the movie's distributor.
Before "Silmido" opened, reaching the 10-million-viewer level was only a
dream in the local film industry, since Korea's population is less than 50
million. Previously, the most commercially successful Korean film was
"Chingu" (Friends), released in 2001, for which 7 million tickets have been
sold.
Based on a true story from the late 1960s, "Silmido" recounts the tragic saga
of a special combat squad trained to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Il
Sung. Silmido is the name of the island in the Yellow Sea where the squad
underwent secret training.
The hit's director and producer, Kang Woo-suk, is noted for having a Midas
touch that makes movies sell. Since his debut as a filmmaker in 1988, Mr.
Kang has not always been acclaimed by critics, but he has been
unquestionably well-received by moviegoers. His latest production brings
history to life in an intense, masculine and dramatic epic.
