Disney+‘s original series ‘The Light Shop’ will premiere today (the 4th) with episodes 1-4, and a teaser still from episode 4 that stimulates curiosity about the story is being released.

‘The Light Shop’​ will finally meet viewers around the world. Episodes 1-4, which will be released today (Wednesday the 4th), will tell the story of the ‘The Light Shop’, the boundary between life and death, and the mysterious characters who visit it, and will contain an exciting story from the very beginning. The overwhelming presence of ‘Won-young’ (Joo Ji-hoon), the owner of ‘Lighting Store’, as well as the intense, tense acting of ‘Young-ji’ (Park Bo-young), ‘Hyun-min’ (Uhm Tae-goo), ‘Seon-hae’ (Kim Min-ha), and ‘Hyun-joo’ (Shin Eun-soo), who become embroiled in strange events at some point. The appearance of many characters whose identities have not yet been revealed is expected to increase the dramatic immersion.

The released stills from Episode 4 capture the strangeness of ‘Lighting Store’ to the extreme, capturing attention. ‘Young-ji’ gets trapped in a sealed elevator with a mysterious man and experiences unbelievable things afterwards. The man who spoke to ‘Young-ji’ is ‘Seung-won’ (Park Hyuk-kwon). He starts spewing water from his body without stopping while saying something incomprehensible, scaring everyone. The contrast between ‘Seung-won’, full of a strange mood in the stills, and ‘Young-ji’, who is trembling with fear, makes people wonder what happened to the two.

Disney+’s original series ‘The Lighting Store’ is a story that unfolds when customers with suspicious secrets visit the ‘The Lighting Store’, the only place that lights up a dark alley. It has caught attention as the second script by writer Kang Full, who created a global syndrome with ‘Moving’, and actor Kim Hee-won‘s first series directing. In addition, the cast, including Joo Ji-hoon, Park Bo-young, Kim Seol-hyun, Uhm Tae-goo, and Lee Jung-eun, who have all given impressive performances in each of their works, has been cast, garnering hot interest early on.

Disney+’s original series ‘The Light Store’​ will release episodes 1-4 today, and episodes 5-6 next Wednesday (12/11).
