Jung Yu-mi and Choi Woo-shik will be portraying characters who control the events unfolding within the simulated reality of Wonderland.
Gong Yoo, in a special appearance, will play a man in his 40s who misses his deceased wife, portrayed by Tang Wei, who is also a woman in her 40s.
In supporting roles, the film will see Son Kyung-won and Jeon Su-ji. Another special appearance will be made by Choi Moo-sung, which has only added on to the anticipation for what’s to come.
Previously, the film was slated for a release in May 2024. However, due to conflicts, the release date was postponed by a month. While the exact date of release hasn’t been announced yet, it’s only a matter of time when it will be revealed. Subsequently, there are discussions about a potential global premiere through an OTT release.
