The newly released main trailer captivates with its tense music, drawing immediate attention. The juxtaposition of the thrilling soundtrack with scenes of Ju-in (played by Seo Soo-bin) enjoying lively moments with friends at school or spending joyful times with family portrays a vibrant high school student's life.

However, the atmosphere shifts with the arrival of an anonymous note and the phrase 'Ju-in, not what she seems,' revealing Ju-in's multifaceted character. The trailer features intriguing comments about Ju-in, such as "Honestly, Ju-in is really okay, but..." and "Ju-in isn't like that," alongside scenes of her emotionally charged interactions with classmates. These elements heighten curiosity about Ju-in's character. The trailer concludes with a seamless transition from Ju-in's enigmatic expression to the title 'The Owner of the World,' hinting at a narrative centered around Ju-in and her interactions with the world around her, showcasing Yoon Ga-eun's deepened directorial prowess.

'The Owner of the World' will be released in theaters nationwide on October 22.
