Plot
Fishing vessel Jeonjiho goes out to sea to catch fish. The ships fails to catch fish as they hoped. To make money, the crew decides to allow stowaways onto their ship. These stowaways are ethnic Koreans living in China, who want to live in South Korea. The Jeonjiho suffers from heavy wind and waves on their return. They are also chased by a ship from the South Korean Maritime Police. During this time, stowaways on the Jeonjiho suffocate to death.
The film is adapted from the 2007 stage play of the same name, which in turn was based on the true story of 25 Korean-Chinese illegal immigrants who suffocated to death in the storage tank of the fishing vessel Taechangho, and their bodies were dumped by the ship crew into the sea southwest of Yeosu on October 7, 2001.
Sea Fog is the feature directorial debut of Shim Sung-bo, who cowrote the screenplay of Memories of Murder with director Bong Joon-ho. Bong will act as this film's producer.
Kim Yoon-seok was first cast in the role of the ship captain in June 2013. K-pop singer/actor Park Yoochun was cast instead in August 2013, in his first major role on the big screen.
