On the night of the surprise Dec. 3, 2024, the cinematic documentary "Ran 12.3," which records the scene of the urgent day that stopped the Republic of Korea, will be released on April 22.

The movie "Ran 12.3" is a cinematic documentary directed by Lee Myung-se that contains the breathtaking on-site records of those who went out to protect democracy against Yoon Suk Yeol's surprise declaration of emergency martial law on December 3, 2024.

The director was directed by Cineast Lee Myung-se, who has added freshness to the Korean film industry with new visuals and grammar such as "Nothing to see," "Detective Duelist" and "M." In this work, we will boldly exclude narration and interviews, which are typical of documentaries, lead the narrative only with music, and reconstruct the case like a live-action film, providing an overwhelming sense of tension and immersion. In particular, fragmented data are woven into one with a gaze that excludes emotions, and the situation at the time when it flowed breathlessly is closely tracked. Beyond simple representation, it will provide an immersive immersion in which the audience goes deep into the flow of events and experiences them.

This work started with the goal of recording those who stepped up to defend democracy on the night the emergency martial law was declared. It will lead the audience to the middle of Dec. 3 through unprecedented archiving, including videos and photos directly provided by 150 citizens, records of about 50 parliamentary offices and aides, coverage by field reporters, and data from YouTubers. Citizens' willingness to jump into the Yeouido scene that night also led to participation in the film production. The crowdfunding of late-stage work support at Wax the Dog in December 2025 led to 110% of the target amount and received hot attention even before its release.

The first poster released attracts attention as the "ran" Chinese character is written in large letters with the space filled. The title of the movie 'Ran 12.3' is based on the first letter of Admiral Yi Sun-shin's 'Nanjung Ilgi', adding to the heavy weight of the work. On top of that, the copy of "The Record of the Night We Secured" combines with the appearance of the square in front of the National Assembly full of citizens protesting with cheering sticks, raising expectations by predicting the scale and unadulterated reality of the crowd that the movie will show. The movie "Ran 12.3," which contains the records of those who struggled in their respective places amid the crisis of national suspension, raises questions about how the urgent moments of the day will be unfolded on the screen.

Ran 12.3, a cinematic documentary film with a vast record and original director Lee Myung-se, is scheduled to hit theaters on April 22.
