The movie "Boy," featuring Cho Byung-kyu, Yoo In-soo, former NMIXX member Jinny, and Seo In-guk, has released five character posters that evoke a stylish and sensory neon-noir worldview. The film, set to be released in Korea in January (written and directed by Lee Sandok), takes place in the virtual city of Pog and revolves around brothers Rohan and Gyo-han, and the town leader known as the 'Hatmaker,' with the story kicking off as Jane joins them at a Texas hot spring. Depicted as a neon-noir romance-crime film against a near-future dystopia, the character posters released showcase the charming appearances of Cho Byung-kyu, Yoo In-soo, Jinny, and Seo In-guk, harmonizing with stylish and sensory artwork, further heightening expectations for this 'new neon-noir.' First, Rohan's character poster captures Cho Byung-kyu running through a vast field, accompanied by the tagline 'Anywhere is fine, as long as it’s not here,' conveying Rohan's desperate feelings to escape the violent virtual city of Pog, building anticipation for the main story. The second character poster of Rohan, contrasting his almost tearful face with the ironic tagline 'Yoo Rohan doesn’t cry,' stimulates curiosity about the character. The deep sensibility of Cho Byung-kyu's wet gaze and the pearl necklace around his neck leave a strong impression. Next, Gyo-han's character poster features him sharply staring at a point, with the tagline 'Don’t lie among us,' highlighting Yoo In-soo's overwhelming charisma as the big boss overseeing the order of the Texas hot spring, further raising expectations for the work. In Jane's character poster, the tagline 'Fun and happiness only exist in dreams' accompanies Jinny's gaze, which mixes sadness and emptiness, creating a strong aura and increasing interest in her screen debut. Finally, the Hatmaker's character poster leaves a strong impression with the tagline 'In the end, I’ll be the only bad guy again,' vividly depicting the Hatmaker's cynical image as the 'absolute evil' of the Texas hot spring in Pog, raising anticipation for Seo In-guk's unprecedented bold image change.
