Netflix's "Death Game" has released its main poster, heating up expectations.
The Netflix (Netflix) daily variety show "Death Game," which premieres at 5 p.m. on the 28th (Wednesday) (directed by Kwon Dae-hyun, produced by TEO), is a 1-on-1 brainy, do-or-die match decided by a single game each week. It is a new-concept survival that excludes politics and alliances and contests solely by intellect; the winner receives 10 million won in prize money and advances to the next match to have the opportunity to accumulate prizes, while the loser is immediately eliminated.
The main poster released today (the 16th) captures the resolute looks of the contestants who will take part in 1-on-1 death matches, including Lee Sedol, Hong Jin-ho, Panibottle, Yuri-sa, Seven High, Park Sung-woong, Napoli Mafia (chef Kwon Seong-jun), Pengsu and lawyer Yang Na-rae, drawing attention. Along with the phrase that conveys the program's core concept, "1:1 brainy, do-or-die match," you can feel an extraordinary intensity from the contestants' varied expressions and poses on the poster.
What overwhelmingly draws attention is the matchup between Lee Sedol and Hong Jin-ho. The go legend Lee Sedol, specialized in 1-on-1 matches, and Hong Jin-ho, the inaugural winner of "The Genius" and a former pro gamer turned professional poker player, take center stage on the poster, already creating immersion over whether a historic big match will take place.
At the bottom of the poster are caster Park Sang-hyun and commentator Jang Dong-min, attracting attention. That Jang Dong-min, who earned the epithet "God Dong-min" by claiming the throne in numerous survivals such as "The Genius" and the "Game of Blood" series, appears as a commentator rather than a player is expected to be another point of interest.
"Death Game" has drawn explosive interest and anticipation immediately after the launch news was announced. In particular, the news of Pengsu's appearance, who has conquered brain survival shows, became the center of attention with the teaser release. Among this unprecedented lineup, curiosity is heightened over who will achieve five consecutive wins and become the ultimate Death Game master.
"Death Game" will release episodes 1 and 2 on Netflix at 5 p.m. on the 28th (Wednesday). After that, one episode will be released sequentially every Wednesday at 5 p.m.
