</div>
The movie, inspired by real events surrounding a $34.9 billion cryptocurrency market collapse, explores the societal and financial fallout of the crisis.
According to South Korean media outlet<a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://news.jtbc.co.kr/article/NB12226711" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> JTBC</a>, the movie’s director, Hyun Hae-ri, revealed that the plot is based on South Korea’s crypto crash, which wiped out more than 50 trillion Won in value. While Hyun refrained from naming the specific incident, she emphasized that many victims are still awaiting legal resolutions from the courts.
Hyun, who has received critical acclaim for her socially conscious works, such as Nine Times Fired, stated she aims to portray the story with realism and depth. 
<blockquote>
 “I will present it as realistically as possible while also being sharp and include elements of dark comedy,”
</blockquote>
 Hyun stated.
She added that the production process involved extensive legal consultations to ensure accuracy.
The film stars the late actor Song Jae-rim as Yang Do-hyun, a young entrepreneur who navigates the turbulent world of startups and cryptocurrency. After experiencing multiple bankruptcies, Yang and his friend Ji-Woo succeeded in launching a cryptocurrency venture backed by hundreds of millions of Won. The altcoin “MOMMY” soars to massive popularity but draws scrutiny from regulators, leading to unforeseen challenges.
Crypto Man also highlights the growing obsession among South Korean youth with financial markets, portraying their dual lives of stock trading by day and crypto speculation by night.
