The cast and director of the upcoming Netflix series 'The East Palace' held a press conference in Seoul for the occult fantasy drama. Actors Nam Joo Hyuk, Noh Yoon Seo, and Cho Seung Woo, along with director Choi Jung Kyu, spoke about the project on July 8 at the Fairmont Ambassador Seoul.

The series marks Nam Joo Hyuk's first project since completing his military service. He revealed that he received the script while serving, which sparked his imagination. "The army is a place where you have a lot of moments to let your imagination run wild. The desire to take on this challenge surged within me," he shared. He added that he jumped into filming immediately after his discharge, driven by a strong sense of responsibility, and prepared for the demanding action scenes by practicing relentlessly at an action school.

For Noh Yoon Seo, 'The East Palace' is her first venture into the historical drama genre. She candidly admitted her initial struggles, saying, "My biggest thought was that I shouldn't be a burden." She worked hard to master the proper vocalization and posture, which she said became more natural over time. She also expressed excitement for a unique ghost character called "Kkeomeoksari," playfully predicting it could become a "global mascot."

Veteran actor Cho Seung Woo, returning to the small screen after three years, humorously explained his decision to join the cast. "I thought, 'I can finally play a king'," he joked, adding, "It's my third project with the director, and I thought it wouldn't be bad to ride on the coattails of today's hottest actors." On a more serious note, he described the show as a rich blend of occult, action, and fantasy, and spoke about the difficulty of portraying a king consumed by anguish and filming intense action sequences against unseen CGI foes.

Netflix’s upcoming drama “The East Palace” has unveiled a new teaser and posters!

The main poster features Gu Cheon and Saeng Gang, who have become a team by the King’s order. Gu Cheon stands in the middle of a pond shrouded in the red aura of the spirit world, while Saeng Gang pulls on a thick rope tied around him. Attention is focused on how Gu Cheon, who traverses the spirit world, and Saeng Gang, who can hear the sounds of that world, will work together and what kind of chemistry they will display as they unravel the palace’s secrets.

In the accompanying trailer, an ominous aura begins to swirl around the palace, where a chilling silence hangs, and the voice of a ghost echoes in the King’s ear, declaring, “I will wipe out the King’s bloodline.” Sensing that “what happened 30 years ago” is repeating within the palace, the King summons ghost hunter Gu Cheon and assigns court lady Saeng Gang to keep a close watch on him.

Following the King’s orders, the two move in secret, crossing the boundaries between life and death as bizarre and gloomy entities reveal themselves before them. With the ominous warning that “a great calamity will soon strike the entire palace,” Gu Cheon enters the spirit world, which is filled with the energy of dark red blood, and engages in a sword dance to fight off the ghosts. As the deep-seated grudges and secrets buried beneath the royal family slowly become unveiled, the palace gradually falls into uncontrollable chaos.

Netflix’s upcoming series “The East Palace” has unveiled character posters featuring Nam Joo Hyuk, Roh Yoon Seo, and Cho Seung Woo!

The character poster for Gu Cheon, the one “who wanders into the spirit world,” shows Nam Joo Hyuk exuding intense charisma. Standing in the center of a blood-stained spirit world, Gu Cheon holds a unique sword covered in red characters, sparking curiosity about the darkest side of the palace he will encounter. The transformation of Roh Yoon Seo into Saeng Gang, the one “who hears the spirit whisper,” is also intriguing. With blood on her forehead, Saeng Gang is shown listening to eerie voices. These sinister sounds echoing from beyond the darkness lead Gu Cheon and Saeng Gang into the palace’s mystery. Cho Seung Woo, portraying the King “who seeks the spirits’ shadows,” creates tension with his heavy, imposing presence. His sharp gaze and the shadow covering one side of his face pique curiosity about the nature of the curse lingering in the East Palace.

The three actors also shared the key points they focused on while portraying their characters. Nam Joo Hyuk mentioned that he prioritized “the chemistry with the unseen,” stating, “I constantly imagined the invisible spirits and the mysterious spirit world while acting. I filmed every moment pondering how to vividly convey this to viewers without making it feel alien.”

Roh Yoon Seo hinted, “Because the narrative and storyline flow in such an interesting way, I don’t think it stops at being just a scary or flashy piece. With strange entities, exhilarating action, and the characters’ stories all intertwined, I believe viewers will be able to watch it without a dull moment.”

Cho Seung Woo raised expectations by saying, “It was not an easy task to put several layers of masks on the King so that his thoughts remain unfathomable. The main characters in the drama each have deep, personal backstories, and it is a compelling piece where their emotions swirl, explode, and resolve alongside the incidents within the palace.”

Consisting of 8 episodes in total, all episodes of “The East Palace” will be released on July 17.

Netflix’s upcoming series “The East Palace” has unveiled new stills featuring its cast!

The newly released stills offer glimpses of a curse hanging over the palace and the mysterious incidents unfolding within it.

The images depict events inside a palace where a beautiful yet eerily ominous atmosphere lingers. First, the King is seen holding Prince Yeongan (Jo Dan) in his arms. The King’s face as he looks at his son shows a mix of desperation and fear, while a moment in which he forces Gu Cheon to kneel reveals his cold charisma. It remains to be seen why the King, who does not believe in curses or ghosts, has summoned Gu Cheon to the palace. At the King’s command, Gu Cheon begins investigating the curse and mysteries surrounding the palace alongside the court lady Saeng Gang. As their investigation unfolds, moments of Gu Cheon walking into a pond with a rope around his neck and Saeng Gang drawing a bow heighten the tension.

In particular, within the world of ghosts, Gu Cheon carries a markedly different presence than in reality, foreshadowing that he is a figure positioned at the center of mysterious events. The red aura surrounding Gu Cheon and the unfamiliar landscapes hint at the existence of another space connected to reality, known as the “world of ghosts.” Saeng Gang is also seen listening intently to sounds coming from somewhere unseen. It remains to be seen what role Saeng Gang, who can hear the voices of ghosts, will play in uncovering the truth behind the incident. Additional stills show black vines engulfing the King’s bedchamber, along with Gu Cheon and Saeng Gang standing by a pond as they prepare to enter the world of ghosts.

It remains to be seen what curse has enveloped the entire palace, what secrets lie beneath it, and how the three characters will confront it.

“The East Palace” premieres on July 17 on Netflix.

Netflix's upcoming big-budget Korean drama 'The East Palace' sparks buzz with striking first teaser

Netflix’s highly anticipated new Korean series 'The East Palace' is already generating major excitement after the release of its teaser poster and trailer on June 18. The project quickly became a trending topic online, with viewers praising its cast and cinematic visuals. 'The East Palace' is Netflix's next big-budget, mystery-occult historical drama starring Nam Joo Hyuk, Roh Yoon Seo, and Jo Seung Woo. The story follows Gu Cheon (Nam Joo Hyuk), a man gifted with the ability to see and slay ghosts, who is summoned by a king (Jo Seung Woo) to uncover the secret behind a curse hidden deep within the royal palace. The newly released teaser poster features Nam Joo Hyuk wielding a sword against supernatural beings in a darkened palace. Collapsed stone lanterns, twisted vines seemingly drenched in a curse, and ominous blood-red energy create a haunting atmosphere, suggesting the existence of a realm beyond reality. The tagline, “Uncovering secrets beyond the boundary between the human world and the spirit world,” hints at a story that moves between two interconnected dimensions.


A Cast Drawing Massive Attention

One of the biggest reasons behind the drama’s growing hype is its cast.

For Nam Joo Hyuk, 'The East Palace' marks his first project since completing military service. The actor appears set to shed his familiar soft-spoken and romantic image in favor of a sword-wielding action hero who navigates the spirit realm.

At a previous Netflix event, Nam Joo Hyuk expressed confidence in the production, saying he had given the project his all and believed the action sequences would blend beautifully with the show’s elaborate visual design. The actor was also notably the only Korean performer featured in Netflix’s global content lineup video released earlier this year. When asked about the honor at the event, he reportedly joked with a dramatic sigh, drawing laughter from the audience, before admitting that the global spotlight made him feel an even greater sense of responsibility.

Rising actress Roh Yoon Seo takes on the role of Saeng Kang, a palace maid who can hear the voices of ghosts. Having viewed her ability as a curse throughout her life, the character becomes entangled in the palace’s supernatural mystery. The role is particularly significant for Roh Yoon Seo, as it marks her first leading role in a Netflix original series. Her blood-streaked appearance and determined expression in the trailer have already sparked curiosity among viewers.

Adding even more weight to the cast is Jo Seung Woo, whose participation has become one of the production’s biggest talking points. The acclaimed actor is making his first appearance in a Netflix original series. He plays a king who governs with benevolence while harboring a dark secret beneath the surface. Despite only brief appearances in the teaser, viewers have already praised his commanding screen presence, with many anticipating another standout performance from the veteran actor.


The creative team has also fueled anticipation.

The screenplay was written by Kwon So Ra and Seo Jae Won, the writers behind acclaimed Korean occult dramas including 'Bulgasal: Immortal Souls' and 'The Guest.' Directing duties are handled by Choi Jung Kyu, known for works such as 'The Devil Judge' and 'Children of Nobody.'

Industry observers have pointed to the combination of experienced genre writers and a director known for psychological and suspense-driven storytelling as a major strength of the project.


'The East Palace' also endured a difficult production journey.

In 2024, a sudden fire reportedly destroyed the series’ main filming set during production. A 3,655-square-meter set building and lighting equipment stored inside were completely burned, causing significant disruptions to filming. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

The fact that the series was completed despite such challenges has only heightened anticipation among fans.

Following the teaser release, online communities have been flooded with reactions praising the cast and production scale. Many viewers are already calling 'The East Palace' their most anticipated Korean drama of 2026.

The series has attracted attention internationally as well. Earlier this year, 'The East Palace' was featured in Netflix’s global lineup presentation alongside major franchises such as 'Bridgerton,' 'Avatar: The Last Airbender,' 'One Piece,' and 'Emily in Paris.' It was the only Asian title included in that promotional showcase, underscoring Netflix’s confidence in the project and its potential to further elevate the global profile of Korean dramas.

Consisting of eight episodes, 'The East Palace' will premiere worldwide on Netflix on July 17, with all episodes released simultaneously.

Nam Joo Hyuk’s upcoming drama “The East Palace” is gearing up for its premiere!

“The East Palace” follows the story of Gu Cheon (Nam Joo Hyuk), who can traverse the world of ghosts, and Saeng Gang (Roh Yoon Seo), a court lady with the ability to hear ghosts, as they are summoned by the King (Cho Seung Woo) to unearth the cursed palace’s secrets.

The upcoming drama will be helmed by director Choi Jung Gyu of “The Devil Judge” and “Children of Nobody” while written by scriptwriters Kwon So Ra and Seo Jae Won of “Bulgasal: Immortal Souls” and “The Guest.”

The newly released poster depicts Gu Cheon, who steps into a dark pond while tied to a rope. The peach branches tied to his back and the redness in the air create a strange sense of tension, with the copy, “Beyond the boundaries of the Real World into the Spirit Realm,” highlighting the intriguing world to unfold in the drama. Following his projects in “Start-Up,” “Twenty Five, Twenty One,” and “Vigilante,” Nam Joo Hyuk will transform into Gu Cheon, who travels from the real world and spirit realm.
