Interesting facts

The Firefighters (Korean: 소방관) is a 2024 South Korean drama film written and directed by Kwak Kyung-taek. Based on the Hongje-dong arson incident, it stars Joo Won, Kwak Do-won, Yoo Jae-myung, Lee Yoo-young, Kim Min-jae, Oh Dae-hwan, and Lee Joon-hyuk as a team of firefighters responding to the crisis. The film was released theatrically on December 4, 2024.

Production

Principal photography started in May 2020 and concluded in September 2020. The film's release was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Kwak Do-won's drunk driving controversy.

The film has initiated a charitable campaign where ₩119 will be donated for each paid ticket. This donation supports the construction of the National Fire Hospital, scheduled to open in 2025. Additionally, surpassing the break-even point will lead to further in-kind contributions from the production company.
