The movie ‘Shinmyeong’, which became a hot topic even before its release due to its main character reminiscent of the former First Lady, has captured the attention of netizens by releasing a meaningful trailer.

‘Shinmyeong’, which opens on the 28th, is a work that depicts a breathtaking confrontation between Yoon Ji-hee, a woman who tries to seize power using mysterious powers, and a journalist who uncovers a huge political conspiracy surrounding her.The meaningful scenes that remind people of certain politicians are creating a buzz online, increasing anticipation for the film.

The teaser trailer released this time delivers an even more intense shock by delving deeper into the film’s specific events, more blatant magical elements, and the characters ‘conflicts.

In particular, this teaser trailer begins with a decisive interview scene of presidential candidate Kim Seok-il(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 is said to have given the audience a strong sense of foreboding and a direct satire of real politics from the very first scene of the trailer.

Following this shocking opening, the mood is instantly turned around as Yoon Ji-hee(Kim Gyu-ri)sits at the scene of a tragic accident, along with the creepy copy “The night when darkness(晦) begins to open” and “Someone’s spell distorted reality!” Then, PD Jeong(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.

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.
