The occult political film ‘Shinmyeong’, which tells the story of a woman who becomes the first lady through the power of shamanism, is drawing attention due to its similarity to reality, and has released stills containing shocking moments and the characters ‘anguish from the film.

‘ Shinmyeong’, which will be released on May 28, is an unusual genre work that combines occult and political drama, and depicts a fierce battle between a woman who tries to seize power using mystical powers and a journalist who digs up the huge truth hidden above it.It also contains a shocking story that digs into secret conspiracies, collusion between sorcery and politics.

The first still released shows Kim Gyu-ri, who plays the main character Yoon Ji-hee, an incarnation of power who uses mystical powers to ascend to the position of First Lady, sitting alone at the scene of a tragic incident with a police line drawn.Her eyes, empty yet staring off into space, stimulate curiosity about the tragedy that will unfold and the secret she holds.

In the second still, Ahn Nae-sang is captured sitting with a serious expression, deeply troubled by something.His expression shows the helplessness of someone who has encountered a hidden truth, but also the determination not to give up, raising expectations about the truth of the huge conspiracy he will uncover.

The last still is a meaningful image of Kim In-woo in Japanese Onmyoji costume and actor Myung Gye-nam, who plays the role of Kim Chung-seok, the architect of a political conspiracy.The expressions and presence of the two actors, whose intentions are unknown against the backdrop of the Japanese Rising Sun Flag, further heighten the sense of mystery and tension that runs through the entire film.
