Set in gun-free South Korea, Trigger explores the chaos that erupts when illegal firearms suddenly begin to circulate, sparking unprecedented violence in a country unaccustomed to such events. In this gripping action thriller, two men take up arms for very different reasons.

Kim Nam-gil (Song of the Bandits, The Fiery Priest) plays Lee Do, a former military sniper turned determined police detective, who races to stop a string of deadly incidents and trace the source of the illicit weapons. Kim Young-kwang (Somebody, Call It Love) takes on the role of Moon Baek, a mysterious figure who hides his true motives behind a carefree demeanor. The collaboration between these two action-thriller veteran actors is also amping up the anticipation for the series.

Adding to the excitement, the series is written and directed by Kwon Oh-seung, who has garnered significant attention at the Fantasia International Film Festival for his film Midnight.

The newly unveiled teaser poster shows Lee Do and Moon Baek looking at a box containing firearms of unknown origin. The nuanced facial expressions invite curiosity about the different reasons why they take up a gun.

In the teaser trailer, we see a world where firearms of unknown origin are delivered to various locations across the country, leading to widespread tension. In the midst of this unpredictable chaos, Lee Do starts investigating the truth behind the series of events. What would happen if everyone possessed guns in South Korea? It is a story about a situation that we all have imagined at least once, says director Kwon Oh-seung. This series explores guns from a different perspective, putting them at the center of the story.

Trigger premieres globally on July 25, only on Netflix.
