Ma Dong-seok, who has subdued everything from zombies to ruthless criminals with just his fists, returns as the demon-catching ‘exorcist fist’ through ‘Holy Night: Demon Hunters’.

The beginning of Ma Dong-seok’s ‘fist action’ is ‘Train to Busan’.In the film, Ma Dong-seok plays Yoon Sang-hwa and charges at zombies that are constantly rushing towards him to save his wife and the survivors.His incredible bare-handed power, which can even knock down zombies with one blow, left a strong impression on many viewers.After that, in the ‘Outlaws’ series, he increased the density of the action by confronting increasingly powerful criminals.Playing the role of detective Ma Seok-do, full of a sense of justice, he showed a refreshing striking sensation by subduing criminals with a slap with his palm in the first film, and as the series continued, he varied the heavy action based on boxing and set a record of 10 million viewers in three consecutive films.

He will make a refreshing comeback to the theaters this spring with ‘Holy Night: Demon Hunters’.’Holy Night: Demon Hunters’ is an occult action film about a city in chaos due to an evil-worshiping group, and the dark solvers with special abilities, Holy Night Team Bau(Ma Dong-seok), Sharon(Seo Hyun), and Kim Gun(David David), who punish the evil group.Ma Dong-seok will transform into Bau, who has been given special powers and is equipped with even more overwhelming power, and will show off powerful exorcism action where he even subdues the demon with his fists.

Ma Dong-seok, who expressed confidence that “you will see cool action” through “Holy Night: Demon Hunters,” said, “Action with people possessed by demonic powers can definitely give a different feeling.The difference in the scale of the action as well as the fantasy elements are new things to see.”

‘Holy Night: Demon Hunters’ opens in theaters on April 30th.
