Byeon Woo Seok, aespa’s Karina, IVE’s Jang Won Young Lead Eerie New Teaser for Director Shin Woo Seok’s “The Christmas Song”
A striking new teaser featuring some of Korea’s biggest stars has instantly caught public attention. Byeon Woo Seok, aespa’s Karina, IVE’s Jang Won Young, and Park Hee Soon headline a mysterious new project titled “The Christmas Song,” directed by acclaimed filmmaker Shin Woo Seok of production company Dolphin Kidnappers.
Released on December 10, the 51-second teaser was unveiled through the official YouTube channel and marks the first glimpse of “Shin Woo Seok’s City Fairy Tale EP.1.” Despite its short runtime, the video delivers a heavy, cinematic atmosphere that has quickly fueled online discussion.
The teaser opens on a solemn note, showing Park Hee Soon, Byeon Woo Seok, Karina, and Jang Won Young dressed in clerical robes, quietly praying inside a dim chapel. The calm quickly gives way to emotional intensity as the mood shifts to a funeral scene. Karina and Jang Won Young are seen in tears, while Byeon Woo Seok leads a funeral procession carrying Park Hee Soon’s memorial portrait, suggesting a tragedy at the heart of the story.
Adding to the intrigue, a brief post-credit scene introduces Moon So Ri through what appears to be aged, grainy footage—an unsettling detail that deepens the teaser’s sense of mystery.
Notably, the teaser offers no explanation of its narrative or characters, leaving viewers with more questions than answers. The lack of information, combined with the high-profile cast and moody visuals, has only heightened anticipation. According to reports, “The Christmas Song” is part of a major advertising campaign tied to Google Gemini, explaining its polished, cinematic quality.
With its star-studded lineup, dramatic imagery, and cryptic tone, “The Christmas Song” has already positioned itself as one of the most talked-about teaser releases this season—leaving audiences eager to discover what the full project will reveal next.
