As spring 2023 approaches, fans eagerly await new projects from two prominent creators in Korean cinema: Yeon Sang-ho and Ma Dong-seok. Renowned Korean filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho will release his latest film ‘Revelation’ on Netflix on March 21. The story revolves around a pastor who sees punishing a perpetrator as a divine revelation in a missing person case. This gripping narrative also follows a detective haunted by the spirit of his deceased brother, adding emotional depth to the plot. With a talented cast, including Ryu Jun-yeol and Shin Hyun-bin, and acclaimed director Alfonso Cuarón as the executive producer, ‘Revelation’ is a must-watch this spring.
Yeon Sang-ho first gained international acclaim with his 2016 film ‘Train to Busan.’ This film captivated audiences at the Cannes Film Festival and attracted over 10 million viewers in South Korea. His continued success includes the Netflix series ‘Hellbound,’ which has been well-received and is set for a second season. This further solidifies his reputation as a creative powerhouse in the South Korean cinema industry.
On the other hand, Ma Dong-seok, known internationally as Don Lee, is ready to shine with his upcoming film ‘Holy Night: Demon Hunters,’ scheduled for release on April 30. This action-packed film features a team of demon hunters confronting a sinister cult that worships evil. It showcases Ma’s versatility as both an actor and producer. Notably, he is not just the lead in this project; he is also involved in its planning and production through his company, Big Punch Pictures.
Ma Dong-seok’s rise to fame has been remarkable. After the success of ‘The Outlaws’ series, which amassed over 30 million viewers, he has diversified his roles across various genres, including action films and comedies. His popularity soared internationally after his role in Marvel’s ‘Eternals,’ where he showcased impressive acting range.
Looking ahead, Ma is expanding beyond the ‘The Outlaws’ universe with new projects, including ‘Holy Night: Demon Hunters.’ He is also returning to series television for the first time in nearly nine years with the U+mobiletv series ‘Twelve,’ inspired by the Eastern zodiac. This promises to bring fresh narratives to his audience.
