Lights, Cameras, Gunfire?
‘Trigger,’ Netflix Korea’s latest high-stakes thriller, held its official press conference in Seoul on June 22. The buzz? Veteran actors Kim Namgil and Kim Youngkwang are teaming up in a tense, adrenaline-pumping series where illegal firearms ignite chaos in gun-free South Korea.
What’s ‘Trigger’ All About?
Set in an alternate-reality South Korea where the sudden appearance of illegal guns sparks a wave of violence, Trigger follows two men with polar-opposite reasons for taking up arms. Think Heat meets Train to Busan, but with plenty of Korean intensity and social commentary.
The show is directed by Kwon Oh-seung and features a stellar lineup including Park Hoon and Gil Hae-yeon. It blends action, disaster-thrill elements, and gritty suspense—all packaged for a global binge-watching audience.
Star Power at the Press Conference
At the press event held at Hotel Naru Seoul MGallery, the main cast shared insights into their explosive roles. Kim Namgil, known for his genre versatility, teased, “This is a story where no one is purely good or evil. Everyone’s just trying to survive.”
Kim Youngkwang added, “It’s not your typical cop-vs-criminal setup. The lines are blurry. That’s what makes it gripping.”
A Global Drop Worth the Hype
With Netflix set to stream Trigger worldwide starting June 25, the series is already drawing comparisons to other K-thrillers like D.P. and Hellbound. Given the success of dark Korean dramas on global platforms, this one seems locked, loaded, and ready to trend.
Final Shot
Whether you’re a fan of morally complex characters or just craving a non-stop action binge, Trigger might just hit the mark. Will the mystery of widespread firearms unfold into a deeper conspiracy? We’ll find out soon enough.
