Additional Info.

​"Operation Seoul National University is a Netflix original Korean film set against the backdrop of the 1988 Seoul Olympics, presenting an alternate history distinct from reality. While the movie addresses slush fund scandals of the era, it deviates significantly from actual events, creating the impression of a parallel-world version of Korea. The vehicles used by Park Dong-wook's team include classic Korean cars from the 1980s and early 1990s, such as the Hyundai Sonata and Kia Pride, which are featured in customized forms. However, the film's portrayal of these vehicles and its historical context often diverge from real-life history. "​
