On December 3, 2024, in Seoul, the President of South Korea Yoon Sukyeol declares the martial law. Troops move toward the National Assembly to seize control. Meanwhile, citizens rush to the National Assembly to block the troops, while lawmakers break through police's barricades at the main gate, climb over the walls to attend the session that lifts the martial law.
In December 2024, the 20th President of the Republic of Korea declared emergency martial law. Korean society has once again split into left and right, engaging in extreme hatred and violence. I wanted to explore this sentiment of hatred that is pervasive throughout our society.
"Wae(Distorted): The Cartel" is a shocking documentary film that conducts an in-depth analysis of various statistical and physical evidence revealed during South Korea's April 15, 2020 general election. The narration is provided by Yoon Joo-sang, a renowned actor and voice actor. The horrific election fraud—so hard to believe and yet impossible to ignore—did not end with the April 15 general election. It has continued even after the change of administration. It is our sincere hope that this film will help widely expose the appalling reality of election fraud that outrages the conscience of all people.
The film follows the 2023 raid by the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office on investigative outlet Newstapa. Director Kim Yongjin, its former head, traces a pattern of political prosecutions against critical journalists—from reports on Yoon Suk-yeol to Cho Kuk and Kim Keon-hee. Combining on-site footage, journalist testimonies, and legal records, the film reveals how special funds were used to pressure the media, silence dissent, and manipulate public opinion. It is a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle to protect press freedom and democratic values in South Korea.
In the third year of the Yoon Sukyeol administration, the nation was already at a boiling point. A move to end democracy backfired, opening the plaza. This records the accidental Namtaeryeong plaza on a winter solstice night and the struggle to carry its spirit into everyday life.
The Hundred Squares: "No more delays," the cry of citizens echoes from the lives of those barely holding out against discrimination and hatred. Struggling with diverse identities in their daily lives, citizens reflect on the meaning of "discrimination" through their own experiences and testimonies. They question and reflect on what is needed to eliminate it and speak out before the camera. The Blooming Equalities: discrimination law that has been on hold for 20 years. A lawyer, a researcher, a religious figure, a writer, and an activist stand in the square again after a year, and, in this time of rampant right-wing extremism and hate, they speak of an anti-discrimination law as "the right answer to ending the insurrection, the last line of defense for human dignity, a current that can no longer be held back, a square that cannot at all harm families, churches, and the nation, and a place where the voices of the less fortunate can be heard."
On the night of December 3, 2024, South Korea was thrown into chaos. What the public first heard as "an insurrection" quickly became one of the most polarising political events in modern Korean history. This documentary revisits that night and asks a deeper question: Was it really a coup attempt or the result of a calculated political trap? Through interviews, legal analysis, and evidence, the film investigates the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-yeol and the rapid collapse of his administration. It explores claims that an overwhelming opposition majority, built through alleged election manipulation, enabled a form of "legislative dictatorship" that mirrored the path that led to President Park Geun-hye's impeachment eight years earlier.
