‘Journey to Gyeong-ju’ Lee Jeong-eun–Gong Hyo-jin–Park So-dam–Lee Yeon unveil 4-for-4 character poster set & a suspicious family video

The film 〈Journey to Gyeong-ju〉 has unveiled, at once, four character posters and a suspicious family video that offers a glimpse into the personalities of the characters. 〈Journey to Gyeong-ju〉 is a family revenge thriller in which four mothers and daughters set out on a “killing” trip after 8 years of waiting, for the youngest daughter, “Gyeong-ju,” who couldn’t return from a school trip.

The posters released this time grab attention with the four-for-four charm of the four mothers and daughters charging straight toward revenge, as well as unusual copy. First, the mother “Ok-sil” (Lee Jeong-eun) showcases her vengeful fury after losing her child and her fierce resolve to protect her daughters with the firm line, “A mom did it on her own.” Next, the eldest “Jang-ju” (Gong Hyo-jin), alongside the line “What logic do you need for family matters?” shows the dependable helper who always stands by her mother, regardless of the reason. Second, “Young-ju” (Park So-dam) draws a line with “I said I’d just come up with the plan and then I’d leave,” while also displaying the look of a cold strategist who lays out the board. Third, “Dong-ju” (Lee Yeon) is expected to burst onto the scene without hesitation with a startled expression and the line “It’s not really that you’re dead, right?”

The suspicious family video released together heightens curiosity by shining a spotlight, one by one, on the individuality of the four mothers and daughters who embark on a “killing” journey after 8 years of waiting. Centered on the trip organizer mother Lee Jeong-eun, who set the wheels in motion to clear the youngest “Gyeong-ju’s” sense of injustice, is the first helper Gong Hyo-jin, who worries about her mother 24/7, believing and following her mother’s every word no matter what. Next is the second strategist Park So-dam, who calls for keeping distance with her mind while meticulously planning the alibi. And then there’s the third action-first performer Lee Yeon, who won’t hold back even in a dangerously risky situation. Beyond the “real-family” chemistry created by these actors—each one someone you can trust and watch—it also hints at the birth of an unexpected family revenge tale that’s unlike anything seen so far, with twists that go as far as car chases and hand-to-hand fighting, along with a relentless pursuit.

With the release of the character posters and the suspicious family video, the film 〈Journey to Gyeong-ju〉 is drawing expectations with the “killing” synergy of the four mothers and daughters. The film will meet audiences in theaters nationwide on August 26 (Wednesday).
