Beloved by the nickname "Maburi," Ma Dong-seok, who captivates many fans even in Japan, will star, plan, and draft the horror action entertainment "HOLY NIGHT: DEMON HUNTERS" (English title), which will be released under the Japanese title "悪魔祓い株式会社" (Demon Exorcism Corporation) starting December 12 (Friday) at TOHO Cinemas Hibiya and nationwide. Along with this, the main poster and trailer for the work have been released. In the past, Ma Dong-seok has overwhelmingly defeated various enemies such as zombies in "Train to Busan," a serial killer in "The Outlaws," a giant monster in Marvel Studios' "Eternals," and vicious criminals in the "Crime City" series. This time, his enemy is a "demon"! The setting is Korea, thrown into chaos by the rise of a cult group that worships demons. Ma Dong-seok plays the role of Bau, the president of a company that specializes in exorcisms, possessing a strong physique and power. So-hyun, from Girls' Generation, plays Sharon, a charming exorcist and one of the employees, while Lee David, from the hit Netflix drama "Squid Game," plays Kim, another employee who diligently gathers information to support them. One day, a doctor named Jung-won (Kyeong Su-jin) comes to this company, requesting help for her beloved sister Eun-soo (Jeong Ji-so), who is exhibiting abnormal behavior that medical power cannot resolve. What is controlling Eun-so!? Will they be able to save Eun-so and restore order to the city...? This is the true essence of "Maburi"! Whether it’s a "demon" or not, a single blow with a fist. Can the lovable president with a strong physique and his quirky employees exorcise demons and save the world!? The released trailer depicts the chaos in the Korean city caused by the cult group worshipping demons. In a situation where even the police and priests are at a loss, they turn to the "Demon Exorcism Corporation" led by Bau, exorcist Sharon, and Kim, the information gatherer. The client expresses doubt, asking, "Are these guys going to be okay?" but Bau confidently reassures, "Don't worry! We're professionals." After receiving the request from doctor Jung-won to exorcise the demon possessing her sister Eun-so, they immediately get to work. However, the demon controlling Eun-so possesses an evil power beyond imagination, declaring it will "dominate the human world" and drag many people into further chaos. With the corporate slogan "With a sure fist, a sure exorcism, and the quickest resolution!" Bau and his employees confront the demons and swing their fists powerfully. Can the three of them exorcise the demon from the girl and save the city and the world? The simultaneously released poster shows Bau, Sharon, and Kim of the "Demon Exorcism Corporation" with serious expressions, accompanied by a high-energy catchphrase, "Yes, gladly! First, let’s get an estimate." This work, reflecting the charm of lead Ma Dong-seok, promises to be an entertainment piece that captivates with its blend of seriousness and comedy.
