​"“When the Black Team plans to storm the Japanese Consulate General, there is a scene where Prosecutor Han Ji-hoon protests, asking if they intend to invade Japanese territory. A diplomatic mission is not the territory of the sending country but remains part of the host country's territory. While diplomatic missions are protected under international law, the host country's government agencies can technically enter the premises. However, armed intrusion could result in significant international disputes. For instance, in 2022, during an incident in the UK where a Hong Kong protester was dragged into the Chinese consulate and assaulted, British police entered the consulate to rescue the individual. This incident demonstrates that diplomatic missions do not enjoy absolute extraterritorial rights. According to the Vienna Convention, host country authorities cannot enter diplomatic missions without the sending country's consent. This restriction exists because extraterritoriality is not an overriding legal right but rather a treaty-based immunity.”"​
