Actor Han Chae-young, returning to the screen after 8 years, and director Hyun Woo-seong's directorial debut, the sociopathic thriller 'City of Evil' (directed by Hyun Woo-seong), has confirmed its release in June and unveiled a tension-filled teaser poster.
Actor Hyun Woo-seong is taking the helm, and Han Chae-young stars in her comeback film after 8 years with the sociopathic thriller 'City of Evil', which has confirmed its release this June and is attracting attention. 'City of Evil' follows 'Yoo-jung' (Han Chae-young), who believes in good, 'Kang-soo' (Jang Yi-soo), who rejects faith, and 'Sun-hee' (Hyun Woo-seong), who uses others, as they become entangled in a catastrophic relationship that ends with either death or killing, confronting the abyss of human nature.
The unveiled teaser poster overwhelms the viewer with a dramatic composition featuring key characters from 'City of Evil' gathered in one place. In the center of the poster, the silhouettes of suspicious characters surrounding the protagonist 'Yoo-jung' hint at the brutal fate she is about to face, heightening the tension. The characters, each with different expressions and gazes, reveal a precarious relationship where it is unclear who is an enemy and who is an ally, with the tagline "If you can’t escape, kill" foreshadowing the horrific plots and betrayals that will unfold among them.
Star lecturer 'Yoo-jung' meets the amiable businessman 'Sun-hee' through an introduction by an acquaintance. As 'Sun-hee' continuously expresses affection for her, she starts to feel increasingly burdened and tries to keep her distance, but a single night of mistakes completely disrupts 'Yoo-jung's life. Since that day, 'Sun-hee's attitude takes a turn, leading 'Yoo-jung' into increasing fear, while 'Kang-soo', Yoo-jung's close younger brother, senses a chilling aura from 'Sun-hee' during their chance encounter and begins to keep a watchful eye on their relationship. As the true nature of evil starts to reveal itself, the unfolding catastrophic relationship between the three characters attracts attention. Notably, the work realistically portrays crimes such as 'stalking', 'dating violence', and 'gaslighting', which occur around us, raising social awareness.
Meanwhile, the sociopathic thriller 'City of Evil' draws attention as actor Han Chae-young, who has been loved by the public as the original 'Barbie doll', marks her return to the screen after 8 years since 'Neighboring Star'. Han Chae-young, who has showcased a wide range of acting from romance to action and drama in dramas like 'Cinderella's Sister', 'My Fair Lady', 'Boys Over Flowers', and films like 'Wildcard' and 'Street of Betrayal', will play the role of the internet star lecturer 'Yoo-jung', portraying a character that symbolizes 'the goodness in humanity' deeply. Also, actor Hyun Woo-seong, who gained recognition through various dramas such as 'Yellow Revenge', 'Stormy Woman', and 'Again My Life', is catching attention as he makes his directorial debut while also taking on his first leading role in this film. With a solid acting skill set, he is set to make a striking transformation as the bold villain 'Sun-hee', who reveals a completely different side following a carefully planned approach towards 'Yoo-jung' and shows the extremes of humanity after a single night. Additionally, actor Jang Yi-soo, who has made a mark through works like 'Queen of Masks', 'Bad Memory Eraser', and 'Where Your Eyes Linger', joins the cast as 'Kang-soo', Yoo-jung's younger brother and ally, completing the intense psychological battle among the three characters.
