Gun Drama Meets Disaster Thriller in Netflix’s Latest Drop
Get ready for high-caliber tension. On June 22, actor Park Hoon appeared at a press conference held at Hotel Naru Seoul MGallery to promote Netflix’s upcoming original series Trigger. The event also included lead stars Kim Namgil, Kim Youngkwang, veteran actress Kil Hae-yeon, and director Kwon Oh-seung.
What Happens When Guns Hit Gun-Free Korea?
Trigger imagines a chilling reality: a sudden rise in gun-related incidents in South Korea—a country where civilian gun ownership is illegal. The culprit? An underground flood of untraceable firearms. As society teeters on chaos, two men with starkly different motives pick up weapons to fight back. Think of it as Train to Busan meets John Wick, but with a uniquely Korean edge.
Park Hoon on Board for Explosive Role
Known for his intense performances in dramas like Memories of the Alhambra and The King: Eternal Monarch, Park Hoon brings a gritty realism to the world of Trigger. While he remained tight-lipped about his character, fans are already speculating he’ll play a conflicted agent or a behind-the-scenes mastermind.
Global Launch Set for June 25
Netflix will unleash Trigger worldwide on June 25. Given the international success of high-tension K-dramas like Squid Game and D.P., expectations are sky-high. Director Kwon promises a series that’s as emotionally layered as it is action-packed.
“It’s not just about guns or action—it’s about choices people make under extreme pressure,” said Kwon.
