South Korea’s first occult political genre film, ‘Shinmyeong’, has confirmed its release on May 28th and has unveiled its launch poster for the first time.
‘Shinmyeong’ is an unusual genre work that combines occult and political drama, depicting a fierce battle between a woman who uses mystical powers to seize power and a journalist who uncovers the great truth hidden above it.It also contains a shocking story that digs into secret conspiracies, collusion between sorcery and politics.
The role of Yoon Ji-hee, the incarnation of power who uses mystical powers to ascend to the position of First Lady, is played by Kim Gyu-ri.As the ‘incarnation of power’, she changes her name and face, erases her past, receives protection from prosecutors, and ascends to the position of First Lady.She is a character who goes beyond shamanism and becomes absorbed in sorcery, committing numerous evil deeds.With a greed for power, she uses mystical sorcery to seize power and becomes the center of political conspiracy through her husband with her sorcery that deceives people.
Meanwhile, the poster released with the news of the confirmed release is overwhelmingly eye-catching in itself, and foreshadows a creepy and strong message.What particularly catches the eye is the impressive copy.”I sat in the place where I died alive!” This copy goes beyond simple fear and leaves a strong aftertaste by hinting at the twisted side of power that occurs within the social system.
