"1026: For a New World" (2025)

Directed by Choi Nak-kwon

Synopsis
It's impossible to know what kind of reunion these two men, as cold as charcoal and ice, had. However, Kim Jae-gyoo remained resolute until the moment of his death.

During the trial, he refused to plead for his life, refusing to listen to his lawyers. Just before his execution, he refused any religious rituals. He rolled a peach seed drink his mother had given him long ago, and died alone, alone, in the dew of the execution ground.

His final words were simply, "Citizens of the Republic of Korea, enjoy your freedom". No one recognized him.

Release date in Korea : 2026/01
