The Netflix series 'Trigger' has garnered attention by revealing provocative stills featuring a strong cast of reliable actors. However, as the live stream for the anticipated fan event was abruptly canceled, there are cautious voices suggesting that it may be related to the recent real-life gun incidents.
The stills released on the 17th for 'Trigger' showcased a powerful lineup of actors, including Kim Nam-gil, Kim Young-kwang, Park Hoon, Gil Hae-yeon, Kim Won-hae, Woo Ji-hyun, and Jeong Woong-in and Jo Han-cheol. This lineup, which excites just by its names, was expected to enhance the immersion of the drama.
In the drama, Kim Nam-gil plays the role of detective Lee Do, who tracks the truth and reveals a cool gaze while holding a pistol. Kim Young-kwang was to portray the mysterious helper Moon Baek, showing conflict and choices in the face of a gun.
'Trigger,' depicting a series of gun incidents occurring in Korea, a gun-free country, and the stories of individuals drawn to guns for various reasons, has been highly anticipated as a work that encompasses heavy messages, refreshing action, and psychological tension. 'Trigger' had already captured significant attention from its early production stages just with its cast lineup and story setting, but the TALK&SHOT fan event live stream scheduled for the 22nd was suddenly canceled.
On the 21st, the Naver official channel only left a notice stating that 'the live stream was canceled at the request of the organizing party,' without revealing specific reasons. However, speculation is cautiously being raised that the cancellation of the event may be related to the timing of the recent gun murder incident in Songdo, Incheon, based on discussions within the broadcast and fan community.
In particular, 'Trigger,' being an 'action thriller' with a focus on the spread of illegal firearms and indiscriminate shootings, raises concerns about emotional clashes as the gap narrows with recent tragic gun incidents. A broadcasting official noted, 'When the concept of a work intersects with socially sensitive issues, even the producers become cautious in their choices,' and added, 'For now, it is only speculation, but it could be a decision made considering the viewers and fans.'
