“Fabricated City” is Park Kwang-Hyun’s long overdue follow-up to his smash hit and award winning 2005 war comedy “Welcome to Dongmakgol,” which on its release was the fourth highest grossing film in South Korean film history, coming second at the box office that year just behind Lee Joon-ik’s “The King and the Clown.”
“Fabricated City” screened at the New York Asian Film Festival
Just his third film, “Fabricated City” keeps the humour of “Welcome to Dongmakgol” but trades the war time setting for a contemporary one, and the conflict between North and South Korea for that between youth and adults. The protagonist, Kwon Yoo (Ji Chang-wook), spends his days playing online video games at an internet cafe (baang) as the leader of a virtual team combat unit named Resurrection. In his online life, Kwon is a hero, placing his avatar at risk in order to save his virtual army.
