The highly anticipated posthumous film of the late Song Jae Rim, Death Business, has dropped its first set of stills, sparking both curiosity and emotion. Inspired by the infamous 2022 Luna Coin Crash, the film delves into the dark realities of corruption and fraud tied to cryptocurrency and startup culture.

A Story Rooted in Real-Life Scandal

Death Business follows the rise and fall of Yang Do Hyun (Song Jae Rim), a so-called "business genius" who creates a cryptocurrency named MOMMY. The film captures his relentless pursuit of success, chronicling his journey from 2009 to 2023 as his ambition spirals into corruption.

The narrative explores how a group of young entrepreneurs exploits bonus points meant for marginalized groups—such as youth, women, and individuals with disabilities—to secure startup funds. They deliberately declare bankruptcy and close businesses, leaving behind shattered lives and mounting fraud cases.

Drawing directly from the real-life Luna Coin Crash, which devastated countless victims and remains unresolved in South Korea’s judicial system, the film sheds light on the dark underbelly of the entrepreneurial world.

Given its sensitive subject matter, Death Business underwent meticulous research and development. From detailed legal consultations to case studies, the film’s production team ensured accuracy and depth. The project is supported by the Korea Creative Content Agency in the New Media Content category, further highlighting its cultural relevance.

A Stellar Cast Under Expert Direction

Helmed by director Hyun Hae Ri, Death Business boasts a talented ensemble cast, including:

• Ahn Woo Yeon (Kokdu: Season of Deity)
• Min Sung Wook (Pinocchio, School 2017, May It Please the Court)
• So Hee Jung (Twenty-Five Twenty-One, Psychopath Diary)
• Cha Jung Won (Lawless Lawyer, She Was Pretty)

While Song Jae Rim’s performance is expected to be a poignant reminder of his talent, the stellar supporting cast ensures a gripping cinematic experience.

For fans, Death Business will be a bittersweet experience. Song Jae Rim’s portrayal of Yang Do Hyun captures the complexities of ambition and morality, making it a fitting tribute to his craft.

The film’s stills showcase his character’s descent into chaos, set against a backdrop of high-stakes drama and moral dilemmas. From moments of triumph to despair, each frame reflects the intensity of his final performance.

Death Business is set to premiere on January 15, 2025. It promises to be a hard-hitting, thought-provoking watch that resonates with audiences both for its gripping story and as a tribute to Song Jae Rim’s enduring legacy.
