On June 7, SBS's upcoming supernatural thriller Revenant got its character teaser unveiled featuring Kim Tae Ri as Ku San Young. 

Ku San Young is a struggling woman in her twenties who juggles part-time work during the day and prepares for the civil service exam at night. Amidst the hardships of her challenging life, she clings to the hope that her persistent efforts will eventually lead to a more stable life. 

However, her routine life takes a drastic turn when she inherits a forbidden heirloom left behind by her late father, Yeom Hae Sang (Oh Jung Se). 

The character teaser offers a glimpse of San Young's unsettling journey. As she begins to perceive the presence of the evil spirit, she becomes consumed by a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. 

The teaser hints at the release of the evil spirit's long-repressed desires, such as the craving for physical contact and the allure of a hedonistic lifestyle. The chilling climax of the teaser, accompanied by the dialogue, "You opened the door?" gives a picture of a transformed San Young completely under the control of the malevolent entity, evoking terror and foreboding.

The production team urges audiences to brace themselves for a bone-chilling drama ahead.

Along with the teaser, two new posters were also revealed featuring Kim Tae Ri. 

In the first poster version, Kim Tae Ri depicts the destitute San Young, whose desperate eyes yearn for help, as she becomes trapped in the clutches of the evil entity. 

In the second poster, she depicts the demon that possesses her. Her chilling smile mockingly conveys the harsh reality that no matter how much San Young struggles, she cannot escape from the grip of the demon. 


Kim Tae Ri commented about her approach to portraying the character of San Young, remarking, "I focused on immersing myself in the different situations where San Young and the demon coexist." She further explained, "Through discussions with the director, we paid attention to various details such as gestures, actions, hand movements, and even humming, in order to create distinctiveness".

Revenant is releasing on June 23 on Disney+. Watch the latest teaser below
