Upcoming Sci-Fi Movie ‘Seobok’ Drops New Teaser Featuring Gong Yoo and Park Bo Gum

The upcoming sci-fi movie "Seobok" continues to pique the interest of the public with its powerhouse cast starring Gong Yoo and Park Bo Gum.

In the new preview, South Korea's heartthrob depicts a new level of bromance as they unveil the introduction to "Seobok Instruction Manual."

The 1 minute and 48-second video showed the budding friendship between the two as they defeat several forces who want to take possession of Seo Bok.

The "Goblin" star, who plays the role of Ki-Hun, an ex-agent of the intelligence agency, welcomes Seobok, dubbed as the first cloned human, portrayed by the 27-year-old actor.

His mission was to transfer Seobok to a safe place since he possesses the secret to eternal life.

The fun part starts when Ki-Hun introduces the tips and the know-how in order to be with Seobok.

During their first meeting, the ex-agent introduced himself as he shook Seobok hands and said, "nice to meet you," to which he responded by asking him if he is Mr. Min Ki-heon.

Interestingly, aside from its exciting plotline, the sci-fi movie will also show the funny side of the two characters.

Since Park Bo Gum's role was created and raised inside a laboratory, he is clueless about life outside the science lab.

In the next scene, Ki-Hun taught Seobok how to eat cup noodles. Surprisingly, he loved the instant noodles and asked for two more.

"Seobok" Release Date and Details

Directed and written by Lee Yong-joo, whose previous works include the 2012 hit romance film "Architecture 101," the much-awaited sci-fi movie is said to be released simultaneously in theaters and on Korean streaming platform Tving on April 15.

To recall, "Seobok" was initially set to premiere in theaters last December; however, the film's distributor CJ Entertainment has decided to postpone the debut due to the alarming cases of COVID-19.

"We decided to put off the release schedule of 'Seobok,' set to hit screens in December, due to the widespread COVID-19," the company mentioned in an official statement.
