At that time, the South Korean government was not strong enough, and it seemed that it could not provide any support for the ransom. It was also because Ha Jung-woo successfully sent back the kidnapped hostages, which made a big fuss at the time. relation. At the end of the film, it is also stated in text that the South Korean government did not pay the ransom at that time, giving this work a satirical message.
