Disney+'s original series 'Polaris' (directed by Kim Hee-won and Heo Myung-hang, written by Jeong Seo-kyung, provided by Walt Disney Company Korea, planned by Showrunners, produced by Imaginus, Showrunners, Studio AA, and Seoul Action School) has released its first press stills.
Disney+'s well-made global project 'Polaris' has released its first press stills. 'Polaris' tells the story of 'Moon Joo' (Jun Ji-hyun), who has built an international reputation as a UN ambassador, as she encounters a huge truth threatening the Korean Peninsula while chasing the mastermind behind an assassination attempt on a presidential candidate, alongside a mysterious special agent 'San-ho' (Gang Dong-won), who must protect her.
The released press stills capture Moon Joo and San-ho, who are embroiled in a massive incident that will shake the world, along with characters hinting at a heavy presence, immediately grabbing attention.
First, the appearance of Moon Joo, attending a mass wishing for peaceful unification, exudes unique dignity, while the peaceful atmosphere just before the tragic gunfire creates a strange tension. The exceptional charisma of the unidentified special agent San-ho, who watches over Moon Joo with sharp eyes, piques curiosity about his veiled identity.
Moreover, the stance of Moon Joo and San-ho, facing each other, creates a fateful chemistry that everyone has been waiting for. While they navigate through violent storms of events, the anticipation for the story of the two searching for the truth amidst mutual suspicion and wariness of each other heightens. Meanwhile, Deputy Minister Anderson (John Cho), with a serious expression, raises curiosity about what kind of threat is lurking among the high-ranking officials gathered at the White House.
In addition, the chairperson of 'Asum Shipping', Ohk-seon (Lee Mi-sook), who wields overwhelming power in Korea's political and business circles, the influential presidential candidate Jun-ik (Park Hae-joon), the calm and charismatic current president Kyung-shin (Kim Hae-sook), and the talented prosecutor Jun-sang (Oh Jung-se) who has been recognized sufficiently to win the Prosecutor of the Year award. The intense synergy created by the actors boasting their shining presence amplifies the anticipation for the immersive narrative that they will weave together.
With unique casting and a well-made production team, the unpredictable story at an unprecedented scale makes Disney+'s original series 'Polaris' a highly anticipated global project not to be missed in 2025. It will be available on Disney+ with three episodes released on September 10 (Wednesday) and two episodes released weekly starting September 17 (Wednesday), for a total of nine episodes.
