Kim Hye-soo becomes investigative reporting team leader… ‘Trigger’ to be released on Disney+ on January 15, 2025 [Official]

Disney+‘s original series ‘Trigger’ has confirmed its release on January 15, 2025.

The first anticipated series to open the door to Disney+’s strongest lineup in 2025, ‘Trigger’, is the story of vicious investigative reporting professionals who first point their cameras at the bad guys in this flower-like world in order to save them.

The teaser poster released this time focuses on Kim Hye-soo‘s intense appearance holding a camera in a spectacular crime scene reminiscent of an action movie. Kim Hye-soo’s pose as if she‘s aiming a gun and her charismatic eyes stimulate curiosity about the character of ‘Oh So-ryong’, the team leader of the investigative reporting program ‘Trigger’ and the one who grabs the bad guys by the collar. In particular, the copy, “Infiltrating enemy territory! We’ll get it until the last cut!” raises expectations for the performance of the character, “Oh So-ryong,” who first thrusts the camera into the camera to expose the dark sides of the bad guys even in the midst of a variety of reporting scenes where incidents and accidents never cease.

The teaser trailer that was released together increases interest with its lively atmosphere and colorful characters full of wit and venom.

First of all, the unique presence and quirky and eccentric performance of the team leader, “Oh So-ryong” (Kim Hye-soo), who only lives for today, definitely captures attention. From his paragliding to covering various serious incidents, to his being chased out of the police station and shouting at the scene of an accident while holding a fire extinguisher, the lines from the parachuted rookie ‘Hando’ (Jeong Seong-il) who says, “Your work style seems a bit self-sadistic,” overlap and heighten curiosity. Then, the eventful appearance of ‘Oh So-ryong’, who goes out to cover stories without regard to means and methods, with a hearty laugh, stimulates curiosity about the ‘Fact Assault’ story to catch bad guys.

The colorful faces of the guys who broadcast to catch bad guys together with the ‘Oh So-ryong’ team leader who lives only for today also focus attention. Jeong Seong-il, who plays the polite and rookie ‘Hando’, who unintentionally joins the ‘Trigger’ team, arouses curiosity about what kind of chemistry he will have with team leader ‘Oh So-ryong’, who he constantly clashes with.

In addition, Joo Jong-hyuk, who plays the positive weed assistant director ‘Kang Ki-ho’, catches the eye with his humane appearance as a person who only trusts and follows team leader ‘Oh So-ryong’. From team leader ‘Oh So-ryong’, to rookie ‘Hando’, and assistant director ‘Kang Ki-ho’, the teamwork of these people full of indomitable will raises expectations for the story of these fierce investigative journalists who cannot give up until the last cut.

‘Trigger’, which raises expectations for the lively directing ability of director Yoo Seon-dong of ‘The Uncanny Counter’, will be released exclusively on Disney+ on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, and can be seen in a total of 12 episodes, with two episodes per week.
