The Plot

From what we get from the teasers and trailers, Money Heist Korea: Joint Economic Area sets in a future where North and South Korea are unified (which is why Joint Economic Area, or JEA, is in the title).

Moreover, JEA only benefitted the elite people, so a group of thieves plans a heist on the JEA central bank. Promptly they are about to steal a ₩4 trillion money!

According to Netflix’s plot summary, “thieves overtake the mint of a unified Korea, trapping hostages inside; the police must stop the thieves as well as the shadowy mastermind behind the heist”.
