If *Train to Busan* had you gripping your seat, brace yourself — the same director is back, and *Colony* looks even more terrifying.

## What Is *Colony* About?

## Go Soo’s Character — A Hero Trapped by Fate

Go Soo plays Han Kyu Seong, a biotechnology professor and Se Jung’s ex-husband. On the day before his planned move to the United States, Han Kyu Seong visits Dungwoori Building to offer a job opportunity to his ex-wife, who failed to secure reappointment as a professor — but he unexpectedly becomes trapped inside.

Talk about wrong place, wrong time. What starts as a simple act of kindness spirals into a life-or-death battle.

As he hides from the infected who suddenly rush in, he discovers other survivors in danger and becomes the first to be exposed while trying to save them — boldly stepping into danger for others despite the risks.

Go Soo described his character as “a figure who serves as a gateway from ordinary daily life into a cinematic world where the infected suddenly attack,” adding that he hopes to convey the warmth that humans possess to the audience.

## Why *Colony* Could Be 2026’s Biggest Korean Horror Film

The name **Yeon Sang Ho** alone is reason enough to pay attention. The mastermind behind *Train to Busan* — one of the most celebrated Korean films globally — returns to his signature survival-horror territory. The new stills heighten tension by placing Han Kyu Seong in imminent crisis, his once warm gaze shifting to sharp vigilance as he carefully observes a situation where he cannot let his guard down.

Pair that with Jun Ji Hyun, one of Korea’s biggest stars, and *Colony* has blockbuster written all over it.
