The movie ‘Virus’, which is drawing attention with its fresh combination of actors including Bae Doo-na, Kim Yun-seok, Son Seok-gu, and Jang Ki-ha, has released the first poster and first trailer for its release on May 7th.

‘Virus’ is the story of Taek-seon, who is infected with a 100% fatal virus that causes him to fall in love for no reason, and the unexpected journey he goes on with three men: Soo-pil, a researcher at Mosol, Yeon-woo, a long-time classmate, and Lee Gyun, the only expert who can create a cure.

The first poster catches the eye with the appearance of four characters with the ‘Toxovirus’ warning tag. First, the poster of infected Ok Taek-seon (Bae Doo-na) wearing a pink protective suit draws attention with her excited face visible through the heart-shaped vapor and the unique infection symptom phrases, “increased heart rate, increased confidence, dopamine explosion.” Also included are Nam Soo-pil (Son Seok-goo), a single researcher who Taek-seon met on a blind date, Kim Yeon-woo (Jang Ki-ha), a car dealer who is Taek-seon’s elementary school classmate, and Lee Gyun (Kim Yoon-seok), the only expert who can create a cure for the “Toxovirus.” It stimulates curiosity about the relationships between these people who become entangled with “Taek-seon” due to the “Toxovirus.”

The first trailer that was released together shows translator Taek-seon, who has been depressed all his life due to the disappearance of his romantic cells, the disappearance of laughter, and loss of motivation, suddenly becoming inexplicably excited and in a good mood overnight. Next, three men appear one after another, from elementary school classmate Yeon-woo who immediately notices Taek-sun‘s unfamiliar appearance, to Dr. Lee Gyun who wanders around looking for Taek-sun, and Soo-pil, a blind date guy who makes a full-out effort toward Taek-sun. Finally, ‘Lee Gyun’ meets Taek-sun and tells her that all these changes are due to the symptoms of the ‘Toxovirus’, which “makes you fall in love the moment you are infected’. As the conversation between ‘Taek-sun’, who has ‘super antibodies’, and Lee Gyun, the only expert who can develop a cure for ‘Toxovirus’ continues, curiosity is piqued about the unexpected journey they will embark on together in the future.
