Remembrance of MB (Korean: MB의 추억) is a 2012 South Korean black comedy documentary film directed by Kim Jae-hwan. Named after President Lee Myung-bak's first name initials, it focuses on his 2007 election pledges and examines whether they have been achieved during his five-year term in office. A political documentary that makes people laugh and cry, Lee bursts onto the scene when the public yearns for a hero who will solve the economic crisis. However, voters' initial excitement turns into disappointment.[1]

It was also popular, attracting 10,000 viewers just 21 days after its release in mid-October 2012. Coming in the midst of a new president election in December, it reminds viewers the importance of voting.[3]
