"Concrete Market" to Premiere at Lotte Cinema on December 3

Lotte Entertainment announced on November 7 that the film "Concrete Market" will be released at Lotte Cinema on December 3.

"Concrete Market" depicts a world where survival-driven bartering takes place at the Hwanggung Market, an apartment complex isolated after a massive earthquake. Filming began in November 2021, and although it initially started as a seven-part drama series, it will now be presented to audiences as a film. It is a sequel to the film "Concrete Utopia" (2023), which told the story of the Hwanggung Apartment after it was left in ruins by the earthquake. This new film explores the events that unfold as the apartment becomes a hub for bartering.

Actor Hong Kyung plays Kim Taejin, a key figure at Hwanggung Market, while Lee Jaein portrays Choi Hee, a newcomer to the market. Jung Mansik takes on the role of Park Sangyong, the central power in the market. Yoo Subin appears as Park Cheolmin, who is in a rivalry with Kim Taejin. The film is directed by Hong Giwon, known for his short film "Tylenol."
