The movie ‘The Nuns in Black’ has confirmed its release date on January 24, 2025 and has released an overseas poster.

‘The Nuns in Black’ is a movie that tells the story of people who participate in a forbidden ritual to save a boy possessed by a powerful evil spirit. The second story of ‘The Priests’, which opened a new chapter in Korean occult films in 2015 and captivated 5.44 million viewers, ‘The Nuns’, will meet audiences in the new year of 2025.

Actress Song Hye-kyo, who received favorable reviews for her powerful performance in the Netflix original series ‘The Glory’, will once again show a new side of herself in ‘The Nuns’ as nun ‘Yunia’, who prepares a ritual by any means necessary to save a boy. Sister ‘Michaela’, who decides to help ‘Yunia’ become a black nun, will be played by Jeon Yeo-bin, who has continued her wide-ranging character career in the dramas ‘Vincenzo’, ‘Melo is My Nature’, and the movies ‘Spider‘s Nest’, ‘Night in Paradise’, and the soon-to-be-released ‘Harbin’. Song Hye-kyo, who will dominate the screen as the bold and brave nun ‘Yunia’, and Jeon Yeo-bin, who will exude special charm as the curious and suspicious nun ‘Michaela’, are anticipated to showcase the new transformations and acting synergy of the two actors.

The role of Father Paul, a psychiatrist who does not believe in the existence of the devil, is played by actor Lee Jin-wook, who is a new cast member of Season 2 of ‘Squid Game’, and the role of Hee-jun, a boy possessed by a powerful evil spirit, is played by Moon Woo-jin, who gained attention through the drama ‘Diva of the Uninhabited Island’ and the film ‘Hijacking’.

The overseas poster for ‘The Nuns’, which received hot attention from buyers from all over the world who visited the 2024 Asia Content & Film Market, arouses curiosity as it conveys strong tension from the back of ‘Unia’ and ‘Michaela’ heading somewhere with the boy tormented by the evil spirit. A poster has also been released that captures the two nuns who begin a forbidden ritual with a strong will to save the boy and jump into unpredictable danger.

‘The Black Nuns’ is scheduled to be released in theaters on January 24, 2025.
