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

The movie 'Escape' has released three character posters and a character trailer showing Gyu-nam, Hyeon-sang, and Dong-hyuk going on an extreme chase.

'Escape' is a movie depicting a life-threatening chase between Gyu-nam, a North Korean soldier who has started escaping for tomorrow, and Hyeon-sang, an officer of the National Security Agency who chases after Gyu-nam to protect today.

The released character poster contains the earnest and intense gazes of three characters, Gyu-nam (Lee Je-hoon), Hyeon-sang (Koo Kyo-hwan), and Dong-hyuk (Hong Sa-bin), who escape and begin the chase for different reasons. Gyu-nam's character poster intuitively shows Gyu-nam's strong will by combining the phrase "I have decided the path ahead of me" with a determined expression. It clearly conveys Gyu-nam's determination to escape toward a tomorrow where he can decide his own destiny.

Hyun Sang's character poster foretells a fierce chase with the words, "No one can get out of here alive." Hyeon-hyeon's eyes look cool, but it is difficult to guess his true intentions, making us curious about the reason why he desperately pursues Gyu-nam and his untold narrative. Donghyuk's character poster clearly shows the anxiety and fear of a deserter running away from his pursuers. The line, "You're going to South Korea. Please take me with you, too," stimulates curiosity as to why Donghyuk wants to escape and how he will change the situation when he suddenly appears in Gyu-nam's escape plan.

The character trailer for 'Escape', which was first released online through the YouTube channel 'Gomong' on the afternoon of the 11th, dynamically captures Gyu-nam's struggle to escape to the south, along with exciting music, and the phenomenon that fiercely pursues Gyu-nam. At night when everyone is asleep, Gyu-nam wakes up alone and secretly prepares to escape, making us wonder whether his thoroughly prepared escape plan will go smoothly.

The sight of Gyu-nam running without stopping even in an imminent situation creates tension. The appearance of Hyeon-hyeon, a chaser who freezes those around him with just a glance, catches the eye. Unlike his appearance playing the piano, the presence of Hyeon-sang, who commands dozens of soldiers and persistently pursues Gyu-nam, heightens expectations for a constant chase and chase. The piano playing scene, which is not suitable for a professional military officer, also makes us curious about his past. The character trailer, which adds surprise with the appearance of various characters such as Hong Sa-bin, who plays Donghyuk, Song Kang, and Lee Som, heightens the audience's expectations for 'Escape'.

‘Escape’ will be released in theaters on July 3rd.
