The movie ‘Shinmyeong’, which has become a hot topic for its story reminiscent of Ms.Kim Gun-hee, has changed its release date to the day before the presidential election.

The political thriller ‘Shinmyeong’ was originally scheduled to be released on May 28, but has been finalized for June 2.Along with this, the main poster with a strong message has been released, further raising the audience’s expectations.

The production company stated on the 23rd, “We adjusted the distribution schedule so that more viewers can watch the movie in a better environment,” and “We decided to release it in the first week of June, when the national interest is focused, and when the ‘presidential election day’ and Memorial Day holiday overlap.”

This is exquisitely intertwined with the political message of the film, and is expected to serve as an opportunity to further strengthen the impression of ‘Shinmyeong’.

‘Shinmyeong’ has already emerged as a highly anticipated work, drawing explosive reactions online with just the launch poster and two trailers.In particular, actress Kim Gyu-ri’s creepy acting transformation and sharp lines that reflect reality heated up communities and SNS as soon as it was released.

Thanks to the popularity, ticket sales will open sequentially at the three theaters, CGV, Lotte Cinema, and Megabox, in line with the change in release date, and the film will begin meeting with the audience in earnest.

The main poster released together captures the protagonist ‘Yoon Ji-hee’ (Kim Gyu-ri)’s unidentifiable smile and a strange shadow running down her face, creating a beautiful yet eerie atmosphere.

In particular, the powerful phrase “I sat in the seat of the living dead!” further heightens the tension by hinting at the huge secret she is hiding.
