Jun Ji-hyun X Kang Dong-won Disney+ Series 'Polaris' to Premiere on September 10!

The global project of Disney+, 〈Polaris〉, which the world has been waiting for, has confirmed its premiere on September 10 and released the poster for 'Into the Storm'. 〈Polaris〉 tells the story of Moon Joo (Jun Ji-hyun), who has built an international reputation as a UN ambassador, chasing the mastermind behind an assassination attempt on a presidential candidate, alongside the mysterious special agent San-ho (Kang Dong-won), who must protect her, as they confront a huge truth threatening the Korean Peninsula. Director Kim Hee-won, known for his elegant yet trendy direction in 〈Tears of the Queen〉 and 〈Vincenzo〉, and director Heo Myung-hyang, praised for his intense action in 〈Crime City 4〉 and 〈The Wilderness〉, along with writer Jeong Seo-kyung, who has built her own worldview through films and dramas like 〈Decision to Leave〉 and 〈Little Women〉, have come together for 〈Polaris〉.

The released poster for 'Into the Storm' features a striking contrast of red and black and white tones, with unique textures and objects that vividly capture the visuals of Jun Ji-hyun and Kang Dong-won. This poster, produced by the UK's 'Empire Design', known for its sensational poster designs in films like 〈The Handmaiden〉, 〈The Disposition of the Dead〉, 〈Decision to Leave〉, and 〈Stalker〉, gives a sense of the scale of the must-see global project of 2025. The image of Jun Ji-hyun and Kang Dong-won gazing at the same point blends with their forms as if they are diving into the storm, hinting at a spy melodrama where they rely on each other amidst unpredictable events, just like the English title of 〈Polaris〉, 'Tempest'. In particular, the legendary actors Jun Ji-hyun and Kang Dong-won, who need no modifiers, are raising the expectations of many waiting for the release of 〈Polaris〉 with their unprecedented chemistry. Meanwhile, the mysterious object submerged in the deep sea and the silhouette of a fighter jet create an unusual atmosphere, stirring curiosity about what events will unfold due to the enormous secret that will shake the world.

Disney+'s original series 〈Polaris〉, which is gaining attention for its unique casting and well-made production team, will be available exclusively on Disney+, with three episodes released on September 10 (Wednesday) and two episodes released weekly starting September 17 (Wednesday), totaling nine episodes.
