Netflix has confirmed that the Korean adaptation of global hit Money Heist will be titled Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area. A special teaser was released alongside the announcement, offering fans a sneak peek of the much-anticipated series.
Seon Woojin, team leader of the Crisis Negotiation team played by Kim Yunjin, also makes an appearance, in addition to snappy introductions of the eight heist members — Berlin (Park Hae-soo), Tokyo (Jun Jong-seo), Moscow (Lee Won-jong), Denver (Kim Ji-hun), Nairobi (Jang Yoon-ju), Rio (Lee Hyun-woo), Helsinki (Kim Ji-hoon), and Oslo (Lee Kyu-ho).
The title hints at the background of Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area, which follows a genius strategist and his talented crew of top-class thieves as they attempt to pull off an unprecedented heist and stage a hostage situation in the Korean peninsula.
The special teaser shows the Professor, played by Yoo Ji-tae, in front of a wall filled with unique masks, including a traditional Korean mask and the iconic Salvador Dalà mask from the original Spanish series. As he reaches out to choose a symbolic mask for the heist, the scene ends without revealing the Professor’s final choice.
Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area will be released in 2022, only on Netflix.
