‘The Nuns’, a spin-off film of ‘The Priests’, which opened a new chapter in Korean occult films, starring Song Hye-kyo and Jeon Yeo-bin, has released a teaser trailer ahead of its January release.

‘The Nuns’, which will be released on January 24, tells the story of people who participate in a forbidden ritual to save a boy possessed by a powerful evil spirit.

The second story of ‘The Priests’, ‘The Nuns’, which has garnered much attention for its differentiated setting in which nuns of a social status not permitted to exorcise the devil undertake a forbidden ritual, has released a teaser trailer following the enthusiastic response to its launch trailer.
The trailer released this time raises curiosity by starting with the sound of a bell ringing in the city, and showing Song Hye-kyo as Sister Junia heading somewhere with firm determination and Jeon Yeo-bin as Sister Michaela preparing for the ritual. The copy, “The ritual of the forbidden begins”, heightens the tension of the movie by foreshadowing that a nun of a social status not permitted to be ordained according to Catholic doctrine and tradition will undertake the ritual in the absence of an exorcist priest who can confront the 12 images. Here, Lee Jin-wook, who has transformed into Father Paul, who opposes exorcism and believes that the boy can be saved through medicine, and Moon Woo-jin, who plays Hee-jun, who is possessed by a powerful evil spirit, are adding to the presence of actors who are trustworthy and watchable, drawing attention.
