This film is based on the real-life Naval clash...
between North and South Korea near the Northern Limit Line (NLL)...
in the Yellow Sea during the 2002 Korea | Japan World Cup.
Republic of Korea!
In front of Seoul City Hall
Han River Park
11:50 A.M, June 29, 2002 Yeonpyeong Island, South Korea
We wanted everyone to return home alive.
It was a desperate battle for survival.
We screamed,
and fought alone.
Saturday, June 29, 2002,
date of the consolation match against Turkey.
Military Hospital
Charge!
Shock!
Clear!
Shock!
The 1953 Armistice Agreement gave control of islands...
on NLL to United Nations Command and South Korea.
Any lands above Northern Limit Line...
belonged to China and North Korea.
By taking control of the islands, the North accepted the NLL.

I don't believe it!
Park Dong-hyuk!
Kwon Ki-hyung!
- Did you transfer here? - Yeah.
Is this where the jackasses end up?
Screw you. This ain't a place for petty officers.
- Shoulda stayed put. - Come on.
- Hop in. - Sure.
This is the duty officer.
- Salute! - Salute!
Chief petty officer Suh.
Salute!
Nice to meet you.
Chief engineer and helmsman Han.
Petty officer 2nd Class, Park Dong-hyuk!
- Your boot camp buddy? - That's right, sir.
Show him around.
Right away, sir!
Salute!
Petty officer 2nd Class! Park Dong-hyuk!
They can't hear you! Let's go!
So humid...
Duffel bag.
That's gotta hurt.
Somethings funny?
My bunk?
Pretty big room for such a small vessel.
Your previous bunk wasn't this big?
Not at all.
It's the Commander's. Ours is there.
You bastard.
This is CPO Hwang.
Salute!
Who?
A new transfer.
- Nice to meet you. - Yes, sir.
- Good bye! - Yup.
So cute.
Great atmosphere, eh?
Very family-friendly, it feels really nice.
Let's continue.
This is our home.
We eat, shit, wash and sleep here.
Nice and tight, no need for extra space.
Since we're so busy, you'll pass out immediately.
This is the bathroom...
What're you doing?
Salute!
So freaking nasty!
Sorry! I was too busy and missed lunch...
Eat with pride! Dumbass!
Finish up.
Must he eat in the shitter?
By the way, where's the sickbay?
Sickbay?
Give me a sec.
When you hold this med kit,
that space transforms into the sickbay.
Everything's there, so don't worry.
Check if anything's missing.
- Afternoon, sir. - Medic?
Petty officer 2nd Class, Park Dong-hyuk.
- Park Dong-hyuk, you say? - Yes, that's right.
A golden parachute into a medic assignment?
No, sir.
No? Want me to believe that?
Expect me to believe that?
I'm sorry.
Sorry about what? Give me your duffel bag.
Yes, sir.
Sir, what's with you today?
Fuck off.
- On the double. - Here, sir.
I thought you were the new Commander, asshole.
Got a lover?
My dear son, are you well?
Buddy boy.
P02, Park Dong-hyuk!
You watch it.
Yes, sir.
What the hell!
Turn it back on!

Who's the absentee?
Commander! It's the helmsman.
He has a family emergency...
No exemptions for emergency drill.
His wife is in the hospital...
The war doesn't get postponed over a wife's illness.
Absentees will be noted on annual review.
Good work.
That is all.
At attention!
- Salute the Commander! - Salute!
At ease.
Three, four!
One, two, three, four!
- Two, three, four! - One, two, three!
One, two, three!
My youth is the wave.
I live with the wave.
The wavy wave is the way of the man.
Friend, friend, friend a seagull,
power, power, power through the wave...
Getting promoted to Senior CPO soon?
That's correct, sir.
Don't think that I'll go easy on you.
I don't ask for leniency.
Dismissed.
You'll be penalized as per regulations.
Don't bring personal affairs here.
I understand, sir. Salute!
Navy Fleet 2 Operating Base, Pyeongtaek, South Korea
This is footage of the 1999 Yellow Sea skirmish.
As you see, when they cross the NLL,
play the warning recording and block their path.
This is their submerged patrol boat,
T-34 tank turret is installed on the front.
We're all edgy during the World Cup period,
but we mustn't engage first, no matter the circumstance.
Understand?
Yes, sir!
Yes?
We'll resort to blocking when they enter our waters,
but such maneuvers expose us to a possible ambush.
To minimize our vulnerability, we should fire warning shots,
and immediately suppress their provocation.
You're not wrong,
but we cannot change the rules of engagement.
But...
Soldiers must strictly follow our orders.
- Understand? - Yes, sir!
What'll happen if there's a clash during the games?
Who'll take the heat?
That's why we must have a plan to fall on.
Remember the jet that exploded during '88 Olympics?
Come on!
Then what, should we just change it?
Should we?
Sir.
He's trying to do good since he's got a new vessel.
I know, that's fine.
But don't pull that shit at a delicate period.
Salute!
Are you nuts?
You can't just barge in and stir things up.
Your promotion's at risk!
Think about your father.
Why're you bringing him up?
It's because I respect him!
Commander on deck!
- Salute! - Salute!
Commander is relieved.
Good luck.
Lower the flag!
Set sail!
Men on deck, at ease.
You've got a lot of catching up to do!
If I...
- A ton! - So salty...
That's the forward base.
And...
that's North Korea.
Do you see?
What?
- The artillery barrage. - Huh'?
They installed so many.
A single shot will sink us immediately.
Don't be so tense, ease up!
Like hell!
Therefore, we must keep moving,
so they can't aim.
Yellow Sea Patrol Forward Base
Hey, First Aid!
Come here, come.
Sir?
- On the double, asshole. - Yes, sir.
Here.
Heard of blue crab noodles?
It's our vessel's specialty.
What did you do before?
I was a dentistry major.
What did you do?
They make fake teeth.
I see.
CPR per minute.
Sir?
Pop quiz, asshole.
100/120.
- Pump depth? - 5 to 6cm.
Well, not bad.
Sir, did you learn that?
It's second nature for us sailors.
Hey, First Aid.
Meds don't save people,
people save people. Got it?
- I understand. - So poetic.
Chief petty officer!
Stop it, you assholes!
Turn that off.
People kill people.
Your negligence could give away our position to their subs.
CPO Han.
CPO Han Sang-guk!
Order 100 push-ups.
"Light" at one, "discipline" at two.
Begin.
As per my command, you'll carry out push-ups.
- One. - Light!
- Two! - Discipline!
- One! - Light!
- Two! - Discipline!
- One! - Light!
- Two! - Discipline!

- We do! - Two!
Noodles!
- One! - Blue crab!
- Two! - Noodles!
- One! - Blue crab!
- Two! - Noodles!
- One! - Blue crab!
Commander's coming!
- Two! - Discipline!
- Yo, Ki-hyung. - Yeah?
The front's really combative.
Are we protecting blue crabs?
Don't be an idiot, there's nothing wrong with that.
- Yo, First Aid. - Yeah?
"Ever tasted the crab?"
Tensed up for nothing.
Here.
You eat it so deliciously.
Do you eat metal and shit? So many pills every day.
Sorry, I'm weaker than I look.
What's this?
Payment for the pills.
You got anything else?
I got a sister.
Sister?
- Hot? - They say we look like twins.
A real cutie.
Yellow Sea Patrol Forward Base
Are you on it? Do it properly!
Yes, I'm scanning!
Dammit, step forward a bit.
How's this?
Go back a bit, bit more.
Keep going.
- Back? Here? - More, more.
- Here? - Almost!
We've got it! We've got visual!
- Freeze right there! - Like this?
Yeah, don't move an inch!
Commander's coming, shut it off! Off!
Yeah, from tomorrow...
Goddamn First Aid!
Yo, First Aid.
Come here.
- Sit. - Yes, sir.
You've got impeccable timing.
We thought you were the Commander.
Reading your letters, dipshit?
Is it nice to get letters?
My dear son, how are you?
Give it back.
I'm reading this.
Let go.
Got a problem with me?
No, sir.
Keep it and fuck off, mama's boy.
Yes, sir.
Don't you write your mother?
What's wrong with writing a letter?
Are you talking back?
Hit the floor.
No World Cup for you.
Emergency! Deploy! Deploy!
Deploy!
Distance 2,000 yards.
If they cross the NLL, fire the water cannon.
This is not a drill. Battle stations!
Battle stations!
Go closer.
Play the warning recording.
You have crossed the NLL.
Turn back now.
I repeat, you have crossed the NLL.
Turn back now.
Fire the water cannon.
Fuck off, motherfuckers!
Take the fishermen into custody.
Why are you here?
Do all South Koreans treat lost fishermen like this?
We're fishermen.
Look here.
Get that out of my face.
Why are you here?
I told you already. We got lost in the open sea.
It's the Fleet Commander...
Blindfold him.
Lt. Cdr. Yoon.
They could be intruders, but there's a no-clash order,
so release them.
Affirmative.
Let them go.
It's obvious they're not fishermen.
We can't let them go.
Did you not hear the order?
Give the order.
Attention, release them, and back to your position.
The hull doesn't look very sturdy.
But their cannon accuracy...
may be better than ours.
When in close range, we have the advantage.

How're the boys? Anyone hurt?
CPO Park got hit with a rock, but nothing major.
Right.
Why do you think they were here?
Who knows, that's never happened before.
Maybe to haze you.
Do you know what your boys call you?
Go on.
"The Poisoner."
- Says who? - Everyone.
So stopping poisoning them and be nice for once.
With a warm heart, okay?

You okay?
You okay? Let him up.
Snap out of it.
Tae-jung!
My darling.
Go away, I smell booze.
Your eyes are all puffy. Crying again?
We got a marriage certificate for this military housing.
I'm fine with that.
That's not it, I had to lock you down.
The baby's not doing well, you come home once a fortnight.
What am I to you? Just a girl you live with?
Honey.
The baby's important, but I only need you. You and me.
Then stop sailing.
You said you'd apply for a land assignment.
Yeah.
But the thing is...
Marry the boat then.
He needs to be admitted and get some tests.
Didn't he report any pain?
It's not your fault.
Let's go.

Lt. Commander?
It's time, CPO Cho's kid's birthday party.
Yeah.
Personally, I hope she becomes a teacher.
Go on, let's eat.
I got her a pair of shoes.
Let's see, let's see.
Holy cow! Awesome!
Sir, what priceless gift have you gotten for her?
Show us!
I can't wait to see what it is!
Huh? A football?
Here's the real thing!
Ta-dah!
Isn't that for a boy?
He can get a son next.
Isn't that a boy's set?
Who cares? Who discriminates nowadays?
I can raise a female footballer.
Good, very good!
Positions on patrol killer aren't on demand,
isn't it difficult?
You mean, am I chasing a quick promotion by being here?
Sir, I'm not someone who minces words.
Promotion is important to me,
and that's why I'm here.
Since you're new here, I'm asking how you are.
All right.
Pour me a drink.
Sir, let me pour you one.
No.
CPO Han?
Aren't you right-handed?
We perform dangerous maneuvers every day.
My eyes and your hands must move in unison.
Am I right?
27 men.
Their lives depend on your hand.
If you can't protect them, walking away is an option.
Isn't Lt. Cdr. only a year older?
If he were in the workforce, he'd be a newbie,
but he's forced to lead here.
His father was an elite sailor.
He even received a medal for sinking a spy vessel.
A spy was captured, and he confessed his route,
and all his supporters were arrested.
The brass ordered an execution, but he couldn't pull the trigger.
For that reason, he was stripped of his rank.
I don't know why he didn't kill the spy.
When I saw his clear eyes,
I couldn't kill him.
This'll look good on you, too.
Yes?
Salute!
The Fleet Commander asked for CPO Han.
Why?
Probably because of his hand.
Salute!
- Reporting for duty! - Report.
Private Lee Jae-dong...
- Newbie? - Fresh meat.
Yo, First Aid.
What'll happen to you now?
He's transferring out, your golden parachute.
You knew about his hand, didn't you?
You wanted to sleep through the service?
We coulda died, because of you two!
Piss off!
I heard he covered for you over the years.
What did you say? Are you fucking nuts?
What's going on?
Salute!
Get ready for lights out.
Personal and communal hygiene inspection in effect.
If you don't pass, nobody sleeps.
- Begin. - Begin!
CPO, so your hand almost caused an accident?
All right, fine.
Here we go.
Here, hold this.
Go on.
I'm not the one who's a weak link.
Bullshit.
You requested his transfer to a land position.
Is this camaraderie?
Okay, I'm fine with you covering for him.
But I won't be responsible for what happens next.
Go on ahead.
Dismissed, both of you.
Salute.
Thinking about mom?
It's all for the best, sir.
Indeed.
Even if you don't sail, you're still Navy.
We're Navy for life.
Yo, First Aid!
You look like a real Naval officer. You should become a CO.
Not at all.
I think you're fit for it.
When do you transfer out?
I applied today, so it'll take a month.
But it's so embarrassing.
Your work didn't go unnoticed. Even the boss is covering for you.
Father.
- Leaving? - Yes.
- Please take this. - What is it?
I know what your salary's like.
I'm off.
Young-ha.
Your English is good, why not try for an interpreter CO?
You could even work as a prof at the academy.
After my promotion, I want to stay on the PKM.
You sailed PB-3 for a long time.
I shouldn't have said what I said.
- Take care. - Okay.
Mom...
What is that?
Yours?
No, CPO Han lent it to me.
You're fucking nuts.
POs are forbidden to use cellphones.
I know.
You do?
What do you know?
Give it.
I'll report this.
One, two...
- Go inside. - Yes, sir.
I see you frowning.
What the hell was he doing?
- Salute. - Yeah.
P01 Lee Yong-se.
- Go on. - Salute.
Salute!
I'm back.
How are you?
I'm all stocked up.
Holy cow.
Sit.
Here.
Take it.
Thanks.
- I'll enjoy it. - Please do.
Look at that face.
Yo, First Aid!
You got a visitor.
Me?
Your lover, apparently.
Petty officer 2nd Class Park Dong-hyuk.
You're free to leave.
So hot...
Excuse me...
Your sister's here.
Lost my appetite.
You're my lover?
- Let's go. - What?
Your day off.
Going or what?
Um, sure, I'm going.
Worse than I expected.
Sweetie, I'm here. Did you wait long?
Why're you so pretty today?
I'm always pretty.
CPO Han...
Son of a bitch.
Where are we going?
Nowhere. Thanks.
Go on.
Just me?
Yeah, go.
Bye.
Yeah, yeah.
Thanks, see you.
I got all dolled up for nothing.
You damn skirt chaser.
Here.
Go visit your folks, it's your mom's birthday.
Don't wanna go?
Wanna follow her?
Of course not.
Buy a present on the way.
I'm off.
CPO Han!
What?
My mom's a great cook, please come join us.
Forget it, go by yourself.
Come on, sir. She really wants you to come.
- Yeah? - Yes, let's go.
She's a great cook.
Ticket, I gotta get a ticket.
But I feel so empty-handed.
Not at all, it's okay.
Shouldn't I buy something?
We're bringing a cake, it's okay.
Yeah, I'm well.
Me too.
This is CPO Han, whom I mentioned.
Good evening, ma'am.
Hello, so good to meet you.
Likewise, ma'am.
Please come in.
Come sit down.
Mom, wait.
Make a wish.
Yes, bon appetit.
What should I eat first?
What?
You look like you haven't eaten in a week.
Sorry, it's so good.
She says we're like brothers.
Yeah, we pretty much are.
- Dig in. - Sure.
Yeah.
Salute!
I brought you some coffee.
Okay, thanks.
Salute.
So, your hometown is Ansan?
Yes, that's right.
I'm told you're also from Ansan.
Yeah, right.
All right, thanks.
Salute.
Can I try this on?
How to prepare Si-eun's milk...
Sang-guk!
Han Sang-guk!
Lt. Cdr. Yoon!
Young-ha, why're you ignoring my texts?
I'm not ignoring anything.
I didn't text to get shoved aside.
What if it was an emergency, huh?
- Newbie. - Yes, sir!
You got a lot of catching up...
Ready to salute our warship, at attention!
Salute.
Salutation ready. Salute.
Salute!
- At ease. - At ease!
3579 Communication Base
"Fire?" Are you sure?
Yes, they intend to engage.
Have they gone mental?
We'll provide cover fire, so just chase their patrol.
We intercepted a North Korean message...
saying that it'll cross the NLL.
This recon photo shows placement of silkworm missiles,
it's a sensitive situation.
They have orders to stay on full alert in case of a battle.
Approved
Deployment is confirmed, three days from now.
That's the day of Germany game.
What, you're playing?
He runs like shit.
But sir, it's the quarter-finals,
why was the date moved up?
- Wasn't it at the end of the month? - It was.
Is there something special about the deployment area?
No, it's due to enemy sightings on nearby islands recently.
Okay, score some goals for us, Lt. Lee,
as for others, get rested, and get ready for deployment.
Clap!
Dismissed!
Great work.
Salute!
Sail prep complete.
This may be...
your final deployment.
You'll be joining Fleet 1?
Yes, the Commanding office.
You'll learn a lot.
Still a ways off before I catch up to you.
Let's set sail.
Lower the flag.
Ready to sail.

No, let them be.
Sir.
I never got to thank you.

We may have to give it up.
All men accounted for?
Four deceased, 19 injured, one missing and four uninjured.
Missing? Who?
It's helmsman CPO Han Sang-guk.
Have you searched the bridge?
A fire broke out and we can't get in there yet.
Then put it out immediately!
North Korea's missiles are in range and on attack mode.
All patrol killers, cease fire.
I repeat, cease fire and retreat from the region.
Thank you.
Clash with North at NLL near Yeonpyeong Island...

Hello?

In order to attend the final game of the World Cup...
in Yokohama stadium,
President Kim departed for Japan this morning,
after being greeted by the Prime Minister.
After attending the final match tonight at the stadium,
he will attend a summit over the next two days.
Sir, I don't know how to express my condolences.
I'm so sorry.
Thank you.
Aim!
One round, fire!
Lower your rifles!
Salute the departed!
From Middle School classmates
Hurts...
It hurts? How's the pain?
Tell us if you're in pain.
You must be in better condition today.
Your heart rate is up, so the antibiotics are working.
The Navy assumed that due to extreme tidal activity,
the search mission would be delayed,
but they decided to continue the search...
for Chamsuri 357's CPO Han Sang-guk...
thanks to milder sea conditions.
We think that the search process...
will be easier than expected...
thanks to calm waters.
- Is the boat sitting straight? - Yes, sir.
Someone must've manned the vessel while it was sinking.
Sang-guk...
Let's go home...
Let's go...
CPO Han Sang-guk found.
Salute...
Charge 200!
Clear, shock!
Again! Clear, shock!
Charge 200!
Clear, shock!
Shock!
Great work today.
What day is today?
The Turkey game!
Cheer your heart out.
Dismissed.
Salute the Commander on deck!
Salute!
Give me a good shout before dismissal!
Let's go watch the game!
Go! Go! Go!
Republic of Korea!
The sailors of Chamsuri 357 dedicated...
their lives to patrol the Northern Limit Line.
Rules of engagement were updated for quicker responses,
in order to ensure the safety of all sailors.
CPO Han Sang-guk's wife currently resides...
and works in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province.
CPO Park Kyung-soo survived the 2nd Battle of Yeon-pyeong...
but was later killed in 2010 on a different battleship.

CPO Suh Hu-won, Petty officer Park Dong-hyuk...
and the 22 soldiers that risked their lives on that fatal day.

Back? Here? How's this?
Goal! Goal!
As Park Ji-sung scores the game-deciding goal,
the sailors in the base erupted in joy.
This is the roar of our sailors who are guarding the Yellow Sea.
Their joyous cheers have reached the Incheon stadium.
In order for the games to continue without a hitch,
they are on full alert.
357 Lt. Cdr. Yoon Young-ha Even though we cannot be at the stadium in person,
we'll cheer our team toward the quarter-finals.
Former 357 Artillery CPO Jeon Chang-sung We were blocking the North vessel...
Former 357 Artillery CPO Jeon Chang-sung from entering our waters.
We were in very close proximity, and when in parallel position,
they began firing.
Former 357 Comm. Officer Kim Yong-tae Radar specialist P03 Cho Hyun-jin was...
so badly injured that I was in shock.
He was hit with shrapnel in the head,
and his intestines were coming out from a wound in his side,
he asked what it was, and tried to put it back in,
and we held him close.
He kept saying he was going to die.
Lt. Commander had a pool of blood under him,
behind him, P02 Kwon Ki-hyung's hand...
was torn apart. He was screaming.
Lt. Lee Hee-wan's leg was blown up,
but he kept giving us orders in that state.
He asked for Lt. Cdr.'s status, and I said he'd died.
Former 357 P02 Kim Seung-hwan I sometimes dream that those who died come back,
and we fight the battle again.
Former 357 P02 Kwon Ki-hyung I feel terrible, that I'm still alive...
because I was injured.
I feel so sorry,
not only for those deceased,
but for the bereaved families...
of our men.
Former 357 Comm. Chief CPO Lee Chul-gyu I am so grateful and...
I think of them often, and miss them.
