Every spring, Ma Dong-seok, who swept the screens and revitalized theaters, is set to dominate the screen again this year with "Holy Night: Demon Hunters" (screenplay and direction by Im Dae-hee, provided and distributed by Lotte Entertainment, produced by Big Punch Pictures and Nova Film).

"Holy Night: Demon Hunters" is an occult action film set in a city plunged into chaos by a cult that worships evil, featuring a team of dark troubleshooters, 'Holy Night', led by Bau (Ma Dong-seok), Sharon (Seo-hyun), and Kim-gun (Lee Da-wit), who eliminate the forces of evil.

The spring theater hero Ma Dong-seok returns this year without fail. Ma Dong-seok achieved triple 10 million admissions with "The Outlaws 2" (12.69 million) in May 2022, "The Outlaws 3" (10.69 million) in May 2023, and "The Outlaws 4" (11.50 million) in April 2024, unleashing strong box office potential every spring.

He has set a record as the first actor in South Korea to star in six films that surpassed 10 million admissions, three of which were achieved in the spring theater season. Ma Dong-seok, who brought great vitality to the traditionally off-peak spring theaters, is now challenging himself in the occult action genre.

In the film "Holy Night: Demon Hunters," which is drawing attention as Ma Dong-seok's first occult action film, he plays the role of Bau, who hunts demons with rock-like strength and punches. As a character endowed with special abilities not seen in Ma Dong-seok's previous works, he piques the audience's endless curiosity. Attention is focused on how Ma Dong-seok's even stronger and more ruthless punches, as an icon of punch action, will sweep away the forces of evil.

Bau is a character with a unique past behind his unstoppable strength, and Ma Dong-seok skillfully transitions between action and emotional acting, solidifying the character of Bau.

Director Im Dae-hee praised Ma Dong-seok for perfectly embodying a character who is both an action icon and a leader with scars. There is keen interest in whether Ma Dong-seok, who will fight demons and save the world in the more powerful, strong, and intriguing role of Bau, can also rescue theaters this spring.

The film "Holy Night: Demon Hunters," featuring Ma Dong-seok's explosive presence in his first occult action challenge, will be released in theaters on April 30.
