Han Suk-kyu and Kim Rae-won both trained with actual prison guards for two weeks, including learning to make real shivs.
The film satirizes Korea's real 'king of prison' phenomenon — inmates so powerful they ran criminal empires from inside, including one who ordered hits via smuggled phones until 2016.
