Adult audiences recall the memories of that time and think again about the importance of democracy that the film conveys
Young MZ generations in their 20s and 30s are now witnessing the evil deeds of Korean presidents, Yoon Suk Yeols, and the ruling party.
That's why our young people watch "Seoul Spring" a lot now because what the current president, Yoon Suk Yeol, and his private organization, the prosecution, do is similar to the dictatorship suppression committed by Chun Doo-hwan in the past.
The film kindly provides an explanation of the background of the times and real events, and delivers a message of democratic values and historical lessons.
