The production team for "Unbowed" contributed 10 million won to "26 Years" crowd funding.

Director Chung Ji-young from "Unbowed" and additional staff members showed intention of donating 10 million won to the National Crowd Funding, according to the movie production company Cheongoram.

Chung Ji-young and chairman Choi Yong-bae met as director and producer of the movie "North Korea's Southern Army". "Unbowed" and "26 Years" take on the same path in reflecting the Korean politics and irrationality of the society.

In support of this kind of contribution, the Crowd Funding for movie "26 Years" broke through 200 million won on the 3rd. There was a live time Q&A session in response to this by Chairman Choi Yong-bae himself.

"26 Years" is a top secret movie about the character's involved in the Gwangju movement's plan to convict former president Chun Doo-hwan. This project was started off in 2008 under the title, "29 Years" but various difficulties stalled it for 4 years. Crowd funding will go on until the 20th of April to gather donations aimed for 1 billion Won (~US$ 1 million).
