Character posters of the leading roles in the film "Gunchae" have been unveiled.
On the 27th, the film "Gunchae" (director Yeon Sang-ho, provided/distributed by SHOWBOX, produced by Wowpoint·Smilegate, co-produced by Midnight Studio) released character posters.
"Gunchae" is a film about survivors trapped inside a building sealed off by an unidentified infection who confront infected people evolving into unpredictable forms. As Yeon Sang-ho's third zombie film following Train to Busan and Peninsula, it drew attention after being officially invited to the Cannes Film Festival midnight screening institutional sector.
Riding that momentum, "Gunchae" surpassed 1 million viewers four days after its release and 2 million viewers five days after its release, driving box office momentum. Moreover, this is the fastest box office pace among films released this year. Its pace ahead of The King's Warden, which sparked a sensation after surpassing 16 million viewers, and Salmokji: Whispering Water, which set a new record for Korean horror films with 3.1 million viewers, raises expectations for "Gunchae"'s box office performance.
Among them, character posters of the leading roles in "Gunchae," including Jun Ji-hyun, Koo Kyo-hwan, Ji Changwook, Shin Hyun-been, Kim Shin-rock and Go Soo, were released. The close-up character posters vividly capture each character's intense expressions and eyes, immediately drawing attention.
First, Kwon Se-jung (played by Jun Ji-hyun) shows a determined will to survive with the other survivors and escape the building in her expression. As in the poster line "Those people seem to be evolving," Jun Ji-hyun plays Kwon Se-jung, who assesses the situation and moves faster than anyone, leading the story. Opposite her, Seo Young-chul (played by Koo Kyo-hwan), filled with his own beliefs, leaves a strong impression with his line "The birth of a new humanity. It will propel humans to the next stage." Following Peninsula, Koo Kyo-hwan once again plays a villain in a Yeon Sang-ho film, radiating an overwhelming presence.
Meanwhile, Choi Hyun-seok's (played by Ji Changwook) poster grabs attention with a shocked expression alongside the copy "What, are they imitating us now?" Choi Hyun-seok's desperation to survive with his only older sister leaves a deep impression through Ji Changwook's intense emotional acting and brutal action. The poster of Choi Hyun-seok's sister, Choi Hyun-hee (played by Kim Shin-rock), fully captures the character's determination to steady herself in an unbelievable reality. The copy "Where is the control room where you can view all the CCTV?" hints at Choi Hyun-hee's relentless effort even in extreme circumstances and raises expectations for Kim Shin-rock's explosive performance.
Gong Seol-hee's (played by Shin Hyun-been) poster, which captures attention with unwavering eyes, conveys trust through that expression alone. As suggested by the line "What matters is stopping the spread of infection," Shin Hyun-been completes Gong Seol-hee's firm side, unshaken amid chaos, with delicate acting. Finally, Han Kyu-seong's (played by Go Soo) poster, which conveys a resolute will with the line "I can do it. I'll bring them back," reveals the humane side of a character who does not give up on others and raises expectations for the character Han Kyu-seong through Go Soo's weighty emotional acting.<
