Production

Count was inspired by real-life events surrounding former Olympic boxer Park Si-hun, who won a controversial gold medal at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. The film follows a retired boxer turned high school teacher who mentors troubled students while confronting his past. Jin Seon-kyu, in his first lead role, was drawn to the film due to its setting in his hometown, Jinhae.

Count was filmed in Jinhae, a district of Changwon, South Korea, known for its naval base and cultural heritage. The film captures the local dialect and traditions, including the distinct linguistic differences between Jinhae and nearby cities like Busan. Jin noted that while Jinhae is also part of South Gyeongsang Province, its dialect differs from Busan's, leading to minor linguistic adjustments during production.
