The movie ‘The Nuns’, which is garnering much attention for its fresh combination of actors Song Hye-kyo and Jeon Yeo-bin, has released its first poster and launch trailer ahead of its January release.

‘The Nuns’ is a movie that tells the story of people who perform a forbidden ritual to save a boy possessed by a powerful evil spirit. ‘The Nuns’, the second story of the movie ‘The Priests’, which was evaluated to have opened a new chapter in Korean occultism and captivated 5.44 million viewers, has released its first poster and launch trailer.



The first poster released this time captures attention with the strong visuals of Song Hye-kyo as nun ‘Yunia’, whose strong eyes stand out in the blazing flames, and Jeon Yeo-bin as nun ‘Michaela’, who is gazing at the same place with eyes full of suspicion and curiosity. The unstoppable ‘Yunia’, who will do anything to save the boy, and ‘Michaela’, who feels repulsion toward such ‘Yunia’, but decides to lend her strength to the suffering boy. As the story of the two nuns piques curiosity, the poster with the copy, “Ready to go to the forbidden place,” heightens expectations for the journey of the two nuns who set out to save a boy possessed by a powerful evil spirit.



The launch trailer that was released together heightens tension from the beginning with immersive music and the line from Sister ‘Yunia’, “Have you heard of the 12 shapes?” Next, the two nuns, ‘Yunia’ and ‘Michaela’, pique curiosity even more by foreshadowing that they will confront the 12 shapes that have reappeared in Korea. ‘Yunia’’s strong line, “You dirty spirits, leave now,” and her determined expression foreshadow a character with a strong personality, further enhancing the appeal of the genre. Here, Song Hye-kyo, who completed the role of nun ‘Unia’ with her unique presence and delicate expressiveness, and Jeon Yeo-bin, who portrayed nun ‘Michaela’ with her chaotic inner self in detail, are expected to complete a special chemistry. ‘The Nuns in Black’, which has raised expectations with its differentiated setting in which nuns who are prohibited from exorcising demons participate in a ritual, is expected to captivate theaters in the new year with new characters and unpredictable developments.

The movie ‘The Nuns in Black’, which will provide high immersion with a combination of actors whose new transformations are expected, fresh material, and unpredictable developments, is scheduled to be released in theaters on January 24, 2025.
