Park Bo Gum Sets Sights On A Legendary Sword In First Posters For “The Sword: Rebirth Of The Red Wolf”
Park Bo Gum has made a striking transformation!
On May 7, “The Sword: Rebirth of the Red Wolf” unveiled new teaser posters starring Park Bo Gum.
“The Sword: Rebirth of the Red Wolf” is a historical action film set shortly after the fall of Goguryeo. It follows a man who loses his memory and becomes a slave before entering a tournament for a legendary sword. Director Kim Han Min of the film “War of the Arrows” will take the helm.
With the project slated to air via theaters in 2027, the newly released teaser posters capture Park Bo Gum’s powerful transformation into protagonist Chil Seong. After the fall of Goguryeo, Chil Seong lived as a slave while having forgotten his past. The poster captures the moment of awakening as he gradually realizes his true identity though a battle with the fates of 16 northern tribes on the line. The text “Rebirth of the Red Wolf” previews the grand narrative as well as the thrilling and cathartic action to come.
The upcoming film will take place in the year 668 in Xiangping, combining imagination and fiction with historical background to depict a story about a legendary sword of the north becoming a source of hope in a period of dark times. In addition to Park Bo Gum, the film additionally features a star-studded cast including Joo Won, Jung Jae Young, Lee Sun Bin, Vietnamese star Trấn Thành, and more, raising anticipation for the upcoming film.

SM Entertainment Wins Lawsuit Against Malicious YouTuber Sojang For Defamation Of EXO, Red Velvet, And aespa
SM Entertainment has released an official statement following the court’s final ruling against the malicious YouTuber Sojang.
Previously on April 22, the 14th Civil Division of the Seoul District Court ruled that the operator of Sojang infringed upon the personality rights of the members of EXO, Red Velvet, and aespa by producing and posting videos containing personal attacks. Consequently, the court ordered the channel operator to pay a total of 130 million won (approximately $88,000) in damages.
Furthermore, regarding SM Entertainment, the court ruled that the defendant’s actions effectively caused substantial disruption to the plaintiff company’s business operations and performance. Accordingly, the court ordered an additional 40 million won (approximately $27,000) in damages to SM, bringing the total compensation to 170 million won.
Read SM Entertainment’s full statement below:
Hello, this is SM Entertainment.
We would like to provide an update on the results of our legal action against the YouTube channel Sojang, which produced and distributed videos containing false information for the purpose of defaming our artists.
In April 2024, we filed a criminal complaint against the operator of the channel for defamation and insults under the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. regarding EXO, Red Velvet, and aespa. Subsequently, in October of the same year, we filed a civil lawsuit against the same individual.
On January 15, 2025, the Incheon District Court ruled that the channel operator had severely infringed upon the honor and personality rights of our artists by disseminating false information and producing and posting videos containing personal attacks and derogatory expressions, thereby publicly insulting them. The court deemed these actions as crimes that significantly deviated from the scope of simple opinion expression. The operator was sentenced to two years in prison suspended for three years of probation, 120 hours of community service, and a forfeiture of approximately 211.42 million won (approximately $143,200). The operator repeatedly appealed the decision, but the original verdict was ultimately upheld.
Furthermore, on April 22, 2026, the 14th Civil Division of the Seoul Central District Court ruled that the operator of Sojang infringed upon the personality rights of our artists by producing and posting videos containing personal attacks and ordered the operator to pay a total of 130 million won in damages to the artists. Additionally, the court ruled, “The videos produced and posted by the channel operator led to a decline in the image and brand value of SM artists, which are core assets of SM, thereby causing substantial disruption to SM’s business operations and performance.” Consequently, the court ordered the operator to pay an additional 40 million won in damages to our company. This brings the total ordered compensation to 170 million won.
We will continue to take strong legal action, adhering to a policy of zero tolerance, against any YouTube channels that engage in personal attacks, use insulting or derogatory language, or habitually disseminate false information in order to protect our artists. We urge you to immediately cease all current illegal activities directed toward our artists.
