The trailer for 'Escape' starring Lee Je-hoon and Koo Kyo-hwan has been released.

The movie 'Escape' has released four launch posters and a launch trailer that foreshadows an urgent chase and dynamic drama.

'Escape', which is confirmed to be released in July, is a movie depicting the life-threatening chase between Gyu-nam, a North Korean soldier who escapes for tomorrow, and Hyeon-sang, an officer of the National Security Agency who chases after Gyu-nam to protect today.

The launch poster depicts a confrontation between Gyu-nam (Lee Je-hoon), a 10-year North Korean soldier who dreams of escaping to South Korea, and Hyeon-sang (Koo Kyo-hwan), a North Korean security officer who pursues him to prevent Gyu-nam's escape. The launch poster depicts two characters with their own goals. It raises curiosity about the breathless run and chase that will unfold. The sight of Gyu-nam and Hyeon-sang facing each other with an expression that puts everything on their hands with the phrases “I’m going my own way” and “This is your destiny” shows the confrontation that will unfold between characters who made different choices in a predetermined fate and the emotional acting of the actors. It makes you look forward to it. Next, the poster with the copy "Run for tomorrow" and "Chase for today" and a scene of constant chasing and being chased against the backdrop of the demilitarized zone depicts the choice between Gyu-nam chasing 'tomorrow' and Hyeon-sang trying to protect 'today'. The visuals that capture the dynamic moments of the chase action stimulate curiosity about what kind of ending it will lead to.

The launching trailer released together depicts Gyu-nam and Hyeon-sang engaging in a life-or-death chase at the border between South and North Korea. The phenomenon of Gyu-nam being fiercely pursued while issuing a warning, “No one can get out of here alive,” and the sight of Gyu-nam running toward a new life while shouting the firm promise, “Even if I die, I will die, and even if I live, I will live,” create a tension that you cannot take your eyes off. It makes people look forward to the dynamic drama and non-stop chase action they will show.

The acting chemistry between Lee Je-hoon and Koo Kyo-hwan, who collaborated for the first time through 'Escape', is a point that makes people look forward to the work. Lee Je-hoon and Koo Kyo-hwan, who showed an unrivaled presence with solid acting skills, are raising curiosity about how they will present three-dimensional characters who undergo intense emotional changes during the escape and chase process. In addition, 'Escape' is a new work by director Lee Jong-pil, who delivered a message of empathy and comfort through the movie 'Samjin Group English TOEIC Class' and the series 'Park Ha-kyung's Travels', and is about a character who escapes while dreaming of 'tomorrow' and a chase to protect 'reality'. By dramatically depicting the characters' extreme confrontations, it will not only provide genre fun but also convey a message that everyone can relate to.

'Escape' will be released in theaters in July.
