Cho Byeongkyu Starring 15 Billion Heist Comedy Action Movie 'Finding Hidden Money' Crank Up

Set against the backdrop of Busan, Yangsan, and Miryang, the 15 billion heist comedy action movie 〈Finding Hidden Money〉 has successfully completed filming across Gyeongsangnam-do and has cranked up. A project supported by the Gyeongnam location incentive, 〈Finding Hidden Money〉 is a comedy action film that tells the story of MZ friends who, while on a trip, get caught up in the schemes of villains aiming for 15 billion won in criminal proceeds, fighting to protect their friendship, which is more valuable than money, amidst betrayal and threats, and delivering a thrilling twist. It depicts the chaotic chase of the MZ generation youth who accidentally get entangled with a large sum of criminal proceeds in an era of high prices and high interest rates.

The combination of young and fresh actors, including Cho Byeongkyu, SF9 Jooho, iKON Koo Junhoe, Kim Seyun, Baek Donghyun, and Italy, who traverse both the big screen and television, is already raising expectations for the comedy action synergy. The actors cited the four days of filming at the Busan yacht stadium as the most memorable scene during the shoot. Despite the hot weather and fierce waves, they captured healthy and vibrant expressions against a beautiful backdrop. This work showcases the vibrant urban landscape of Busan, the spectacular industrial complex of Yangsan, and the beautiful natural scenery of Miryang, all on an overwhelming scale on screen.

The delightful energy of the young actors is at the center of this work, with veteran actor Ji Dae-han joining the cast, taking on the key role of ‘Yang Man-seok’ and exuding a heavy presence. Meanwhile, 〈Finding Hidden Money〉 recently attended the 3rd Dadaepo Sunset Film Festival, where it concluded the event with a finale. This film, which captures the hidden charms of the Gyeongnam region on screen, is expected to inject new vitality into the domestic film industry and provide audiences with fun and emotion. It is set to be released in the second half of 2025.
