Dongha's Upcoming Film 'Cornell's Box' Unveils Main Trailer Ahead of Release

The highly anticipated film 'Cornell's Box' (코넬의 상자), directed by Lee Hyun-ji and produced by GTG Group, has released its main trailer as it gears up for its premiere on January 8, 2025. This mystery thriller, which has already garnered acclaim at over 40 international film festivals, showcases a gripping narrative filled with unexpected twists and stellar performances from emerging actors.

The trailer captivates viewers with a heart-wrenching scene of the protagonist, Tae-i, mourning the sudden loss of his beloved, accompanied by the haunting phrase, 'The suicide of a loved one.' The ethereal and dreamlike aura of the female lead, Yoo-jin, further draws in potential audiences, heightening anticipation for the film. Following Yoo-jin's tragic suicide, a series of shocking revelations unfold, hinting at the film's intricate storytelling and depth that has impressed global filmmakers.

The dialogue in the trailer is particularly poignant, suggesting that a single viewing may not suffice, leading to a potential trend of repeat viewings. The contrasting personalities of Tae-i and Eun-woo, who navigate a complex relationship of friendship and rivalry, are also highlighted, promising a tense dynamic in the full feature.

Notably, Dongha's participation in the film has attracted attention, especially following his involvement in a school bullying controversy in 2021. At that time, his team stated that they would pursue legal action against false claims made online. Dongha later shared that while there was sufficient evidence, the investigation concluded due to the deletion of the original post.

Producer Song Sang-min expressed that 'Cornell's Box' presents a unique and shocking narrative within the thriller genre, promising an increasingly chilling experience as the story progresses. The film has already received overwhelming support and admiration from audiences and critics at various international film festivals, including the London International Film Awards and the Dubai International Film Festival, and is expected to resonate strongly with domestic viewers as well.
