Watch: Hwang Jung Min And Zo In Sung Investigate Mysterious Sighting In Village In New Film “HOPE”

The upcoming film “HOPE” has unveiled its first preview clip!

The clip begins with Hopo Port police substation chief Bum Seok and local villager Sung Ki (Zo In Sung) responding after hearing reports from neighborhood youths that a tiger has appeared in the village.

Pointing toward a vague figure in the distance, Sung Ki says, “It’s over there,” while Bum Seok stares down the road and replies, “That thing happens to be dead in the middle of the street?”

Bum Seok then notices the hunting rifles carried by the local youths and questions them about the weapons. After they explain that the guns were properly registered, he orders them to come by the station later with the firearms.

The identity of the mysterious “thing” the two men are staring at is never revealed in the clip. Similarly, although the film’s exact time period has not been disclosed, the police car and Bum Seok’s uniform suggest a setting earlier than the present day.

The film will compete for the Palme d’Or at the 79th Cannes Film Festival, which opens on May 12.
