Meeting Oppenheimer on Liberation Day, OCN's First Schedule

The reactions from netizens regarding OCN's Liberation Day schedule are enthusiastic.

The movie-specialized cable channel OCN posted a video on its official channel on August 8. The uploaded video was titled 'OCN | Liberation Day Special 《Oppenheimer》 8/15 (Fri) 10 PM TV Premiere', announcing that the film 〈Oppenheimer〉 will have its first TV broadcast on Liberation Day, August 15. 〈Oppenheimer〉 tells the story of Julius Robert Oppenheimer, who was in charge of the atomic bomb development 'Manhattan Project' during World War II.

While 〈Oppenheimer〉 has received critical acclaim and was a box office success, the buzz surrounding its TV broadcast is due to its airing on Liberation Day. The atomic bomb developed in the 'Manhattan Project' was dropped on the Japanese mainland, leading to the declaration of surrender by the Japanese Empire, which in turn allowed the Korean Peninsula to gain independence. This connection to Liberation Day has led to reactions like 'gamda sal' (meaning 'it’s a big deal').

〈Oppenheimer〉 is the latest work by Christopher Nolan, featuring Cillian Murphy as Julius Robert Oppenheimer, delivering a powerful performance. Nolan's unique analog spirit is still present in this film, and it is reported that scenes depicting the movement of atoms were shot in real life.
