A new South Korean film retells the real-life story of how left-wing militants hijacked a Japanese passenger jet in 1970 and ended up in Seoul, despite attempting to land in North Korea, turning this stranger-than-fiction tale into a black comedy about bureaucratic absurdity under ROK authoritarian rule.
The Netflix release “Good News” follows Seo Go-myung (Hong Kyung), a young South Korean air force lieutenant and radar specialist recruited by a shadowy government fixer known only as “Nobody” (Sul Kyung-gu) to orchestrate the emergency landing of a hijacked Japanese airliner.
