Disney+'s original series 'North Star' has confirmed its release on September 10 and revealed the poster for 'Into the Storm.'
The well-made global project 'North Star,' which the world has been waiting for, has confirmed its release on September 10 and revealed the poster for 'Into the Storm.' 'North Star' follows 'Moon-joo' (Jun Ji-hyun), who has built an international reputation as a United Nations ambassador, as she chases the mastermind behind the presidential candidate's assassination attempt, facing a gigantic truth threatening the Korean Peninsula alongside the mysterious special agent 'San-ho' (Gang Dong-won) who must protect her.
The released poster for 'Into the Storm' captivates the viewer with the bold contrast of red and monochrome tones, featuring the striking visuals of Jun Ji-hyun and Gang Dong-won, enhanced by unique textures and objects. This poster, produced by the United Kingdom's Empire Design—a studio known for its sensational poster designs for films like 'The Handmaiden,' 'The Drug King,' 'Decision to Leave,' and 'Stoker'—captures the scale of the 2025 must-see global project.
The images of Jun Ji-hyun and Gang Dong-won gazing in the same direction meld into the forms of the two people seemingly diving into a storm, foreshadowing a spy melodrama where they rely on each other amid unpredictable events, akin to the English title of 'North Star,' 'Tempest.'
Notably, the extraordinary chemistry between the all-time legendary actors Jun Ji-hyun and Gang Dong-won heightens the anticipation of many awaiting the release of 'North Star.' Meanwhile, the mysterious object submerged in the deep sea and the shape of a fighter jet cutting through the sky creates an unsettling atmosphere, stimulating curiosity about what events may unfold due to a colossal secret that could shake the world.
Director Kim Hee-won, known for her elegant yet trendy direction in 'Queen of Tears' and 'Vincenzo,' alongside director Heo Myung-haeng, acclaimed for his intense action in 'The Outlaws 4' and 'The Last Train,' and writer Jeong Seo-gyeong, who has built her unique worldview through various films and dramas such as 'Decision to Leave' and 'Little Women,' have collaborated for 'North Star.'
In addition, the stellar crew includes cinematographer Lee Mo-gae, known for 'The Drug King,' 'Seoul's Spring,' and 'Hunt,' music director Dalpalan from Disney+'s original series 'Moving,' 'Escape,' and 'Kingdom Season 2,' and music director Jung Jae-il from 'Parasite,' 'Squid Game,' and 'Mickey 17,' as well as art director Kim Byung-han from Disney+'s original series 'Nine Puzzles,' 'Suriname,' and 'Tears of the Sea.' This collaboration of the best production team is expected to captivate audiences with a solid narrative and spectacular action.
Moreover, the perfect casting lineup, featuring a diverse array of personalities and talents such as John Cho, Lee Mi-sook, Park Hae-joon, Kim Hae-sook, Yoo Jae-myung, Oh Jung-se, Lee Sang-hee, Joo Jong-hyuk, and Won Ji-an, is anticipated to deliver a tightly woven and captivating experience.
