Plus a sneak peek of the Korean crew’s symbolic mask!

Netflix has confirmed that the Korean adaptation of global hit Money Heist will be titled Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area. A special teaser was released alongside the announcement, offering fans a sneak peek of the much-anticipated series. 

The title hints at the background of Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area, which follows a genius strategist and his talented crew of top-class thieves as they attempt to pull off an unprecedented heist and stage a hostage situation in the Korean peninsula. 

The special teaser shows the Professor, played by Yoo Ji-tae, in front of a wall filled with unique masks, including a traditional Korean mask and the iconic Salvador Dalí mask from the original Spanish series.
