Main Trailer of 'Sugar' Featuring Choi Ji-woo's Desperate Struggle Released!

The movie 〈Sugar〉 has confirmed its release date on January 21, 2026, and has released the main trailer featuring actress Choi Ji-woo's desperate struggle. The trailer begins with shocking news that strikes Mira (Choi Ji-woo) and her family, who were living a peaceful life. Her 12-year-old son 'Dong-myung' suddenly collapses, and the medical staff's words, "Currently, diabetes is not a curable disease," shatter Mira's world. In particular, the scene of Choi Ji-woo weeping as she sees her young son, who is afraid of needles, facing the reality of having to be pricked at least 7 times a day, leaves viewers heartbroken.

However, the mood of the trailer takes a dramatic turn from the middle. After learning about overseas cases, Mira is seen holding a soldering iron and working on circuits, exuding intense energy that goes beyond simple sadness. The process of facing the high walls created by the world, including investigations by the authorities that pressure her with statements like "It's important that you broke the law" and customs interference, heightens the tension. Choi Ji-woo's passionate performance as she goes out into the streets shouting, "Guarantee our right to health!" and crying out, "What if the law can't protect us!" suggests that this film conveys a social message that goes beyond mere maternal love.

The ending of the trailer leaves a deep impression. When asked, "What does Dong-myung think of his mother?" he smiles brightly and calls out, "Mom!" while Choi Ji-woo waves her hand, shedding tears at his call, signaling the birth of the first touching true story of the new year 2026. The movie 'Sugar' is based on the miraculous true story of a mother who created medical devices to help her son diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, overcoming legal and regulatory barriers. Anticipation is building for 'Sugar', Choi Ji-woo's return to the screen after three years, which will be released in theaters nationwide on January 21.
