What Is The Great Escape?
It’s an adventure variety show in which the cast works together to solve elaborate escape room challenges. This season adds a chilling backdrop: the cast play participants trapped inside strange urban legends, trying to find a way out while the tension keeps building.

What the First Poster Reveals
The teaser poster is styled like CCTV footage of mysterious locations. Look closely and you’ll spot unidentified silhouettes, shattered glass, broken tiles and a hand reaching out from beneath a manhole cover. The tagline expresses a desperate wish to get out, which hints at the situations the cast will face. It’s creepy in the best way.
Meet the Players
Kim Jong Min. A familiar face from the series, he’s one of the six trapped in the legends. Expect a mix of nerves and humour.
Kim Dong Hyun. Another returning name, and a physical presence in a cast that will need courage when things get eerie.

Seungkwan (SEVENTEEN). Known for his witty, expressive reactions, he could be the star of the scariest moments.
