On the afternoon of the 6th, a press and distribution preview was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. The premiere was attended by Cho Jung-seok as Jeong In-hoo, a lawyer who does everything in his power to make a legitimate trial, Yoo Jae-myung as Jeon Sang-doo, the head of the joint chief of the center of huge power who eavesdrops on the trial in a closed room and controls the results, and director Choo Chang-min.
Yoo Jae-myung said, `I didn't have much time left in the process of causing the December 12 incident with personal ambition. Since the character and the time are small in describing the symbol of power, I thought about how to express the symbol of Jeon Sang-du in an understated manner without hurting them. I tried to act with that part at the center of my mind,' he added.
'Land of Happiness' is a story of a secretary accompanying the intelligence chief who was involved in the assassination of the president by orders of his superiors and a lawyer who entered Korea's worst political trial by defending him. This film depicts the true story of Army Colonel Park Heung-joo, who was involved in the murder of former President Park Chung-hee on Oct. 26, 1979, and lawyer Tae Yoon-ki, who defended him. Cho Jung-seok, Lee Sun-kyun, and Yoo Jae-myung appeared, and director Choo Chang-min of 'Gwanghae, The Man Who Became King'7 Years' Night' took the megaphone. It will be released on the 14th.
