Yonhap News’ Ma Dong-seok, who plays the role of monster detective Ma Seok-do, said about Berlin’s reaction, “1,600 seats in the theater were sold out. I was worried that the meaning would be conveyed through translation or whether the humor would break out, but they laughed, clapped, and shouted a lot.” He added, “The action became more and more intense as a highlight.” “I saw a lot of applause during the scene where I was playing, so luckily I think it was conveyed well. I’m grateful for the many positive comments I received,” he said.
This film is also raising expectations in that director Heo Myung-haeng, who has been in charge of martial arts in movies, will serve as director. In particular, interest in the action sequences that ‘Crime City 4’ will show is growing as director Heo has been active as a martial arts director in many films. Also, as the series continues, one of the points to watch is how the new director will bring freshness to the series.
Director Heo Myeong-haeng explained, “While maintaining the tone of the series, I thought about what the audience wanted to see through the series,” adding, “I focused on upgrading the story, comedy, and action.”
He continued, “I like noir movies, so I really wanted to add a noir-like atmosphere to this movie.” He added, “When the detectives, including Ma Seok-do, come out and investigate, if they are serious, there is no discrimination, so I focused on the pleasant parts.

Actor Kim Moo-yeol is posing at the production presentation for the movie Crime City 4 held at the Megabox Seongsu branch in Seongdong-gu, Seoul on the 11th. In Yonhap News’ ‘Crime City’ series, the character who receives as much attention as Maseokdo is the ‘villain’. Each series attracted attention by introducing a powerful villain. This time, Kim Moo-yeol, who previously worked with Ma Dong-seok in ‘The Villain’, transformed into a new villain, Baek Chang-gi. Ma Dong-seok praised Kim Moo-yeol as the best actor in the country.
Kim Moo-yeol said, “It seems that concerns mixed with expectations and expectations mixed with concerns always coexist. When I started working on this work, I had very high expectations for the work, and I also felt a lot of responsibility. But what I need to think about and worry about more is the work.” “The most important thing was how to express the character, so I tried harder to focus on that,” he said.
He said, “Now that the time has come to fully present the work to the audience, I will put my regrets aside and hope that the audience will remember Baek Chang-ki as a character called ‘Baek Chang-ki’, not as a 4th generation villain.”
Unlike the villains of traditional series, Lee Dong-hwi transforms into IT genius Jang Dong-cheol, the so-called ‘brain villain’, bringing new energy to the film. He said, “Personally, while watching actor Kim Moo-yeol’s action scenes, I felt like a horse had been let loose on the screen. I was excited to see his beautiful figure and curves. If I were Jang Dong-cheol, I would have loved him so much that I would have followed him around every day.” He was full of praise.
In ‘Crime City 4′, you can meet familiar faces again. This is the comeback of Jang Yi-soo, the series’ mascot and scene-stealer. Park Ji-hwan, who plays Jang Yi-soo, said, “When I was offered the role of Part 4 again and filmed it, I felt just as much pressure and worry as I did Part 2. If you think about it, when filming with actor Ma Dong-seok, there was always an expectation that something would happen no matter what.” He added, “Anyone who has done it will know. “When I went and sat down, something else started to happen. I worked hard and had fun with that excitement,” he said.

Additionally, the refreshing action sequences provide the greatest attraction. Producer and lead actor Ma Dong-seok predicted that this series would be a little different from previous works.
He said, “So to speak, it was a bit strong, and we had to create action to match that atmosphere. For example, in Part 3, there was a strong and bloody villain, but since it was a movie with a light tone, the action was also light and fast,” and “This time, it was a heavy and strong movie.” “I use it a lot, focusing on action. Even if it’s the same boxing technique, the style is a little different this time. You’ll probably feel a little different and stronger when you watch the movie,” he said.
‘Crime City 4’, which announced its successful start in Berlin, now has only one day left to meet domestic audiences.
