South Korea’s first occult political thriller, ‘Shinmyeong’, which has already set the internet ablaze with just its launch poster and trailer, is gearing up to paralyze the internet once again by releasing a teaser trailer with even more powerful and shocking content on the ‘Open Empathy TV’ YouTube channel at midnight on the 20th, ahead of its release on May 28th.

If the previously released launch trailer caused an explosive reaction with its meaningful copy, “The night when both God and evil were silent, everything started with her” and actress Kim Gyu-ri’s overwhelming presence, the teaser trailer released this time delivers an even stronger shock by capturing the specific events of the film, more blatant magical elements, and the characters ‘conflicts in greater depth.

In particular, this teaser trailer begins with a decisive interview scene of presidential candidate Kim Seok-il(played by Joo Sung-hwan)saying, “My wife is connected to a shaman? That’s all fake news,” and has been heating up the internet since its release.This line is reminiscent of the actual days of the former presidential candidate, and it is said that from the first scene of the trailer, the audience feels a strong sense of foreboding and a direct satire of real politics.



Following this shocking opening, the mood is instantly turned around as Yoon Ji-hee(played by Kim Gyu-ri)sits at the scene of a horrific disaster, along with the creepy copy “The night when darkness(晦) begins to open” and “Someone’s spell distorted reality!” Then, PD Jeong(played by Ahn Nae-sang)’s narration “Reports related to shamanism about her have begun to come in” foreshadows a difficult journey toward the truth, while Yoon Ji-hee’s creepy gut scene and the gruesome line “If I take power, you won’t be safe there” directly reveal her dark ambitions and shamanic powers.

In particular, the main copy of the teaser poster and the launch of ‘Shinmyeong’, “I sat in the place of the dead while alive!” appears in earnest, and Yoon Ji-hee’s last line, “You caught the day!” hints at another huge incident and catastrophe, leaving behind fear and curiosity that do not easily go away even after the trailer ends.

As soon as the teaser trailer was released, various online communities and SNS were flooded with fierce and explosive reactions, proving that expectations for ‘Shinmyeong’ were at their peak.

The movie ‘Shinmyeong’, which is a perfect combination of a shocking occult worldview and a political drama that penetrates reality, as well as the actors’ possessed performances, will create an unprecedented wave in Korean theaters and will be released on May 28th.
