The teaser poster, released on December 19, captures Kim Hye-soo’s commanding presence as she wields a camera with a piercing gaze. Set against a spectacular backdrop reminiscent of an action movie, her pose mimics holding a gun, exuding charisma and establishing her as a formidable investigative journalist.

The tagline, "Infiltrating enemy lines! We’ll get the final shot at all costs!" perfectly encapsulates Oh So-ryong’s relentless pursuit of truth, combined with her quirky sense of humor. The teaser trailer further showcases Kim Hye-soo’s undeniable presence, alongside the vibrant ensemble cast.

From paragliding into a crime scene to being thrown out of a police station and shouting with a fire extinguisher in hand, Oh So-ryong’s unconventional and daring methods of reporting instantly heighten viewer anticipation. In one scene, Han Do (played by Jung Sung-il) remarks, "Your work style seems a bit masochistic," highlighting the eccentricity of Oh So-ryong’s character.

The series boasts a rich ensemble of characters, each bringing their own flair. Jung Sung-il plays Han Do, a parachute hire and rookie team member whose unpredictable chemistry with Oh So-ryong promises plenty of drama and laughs. Ju Jong-hyuk adds humor as Kang Ki-ho, the assistant director with a sunny yet inexperienced demeanor.

The team’s interplay and the way their distinct personalities collide and complement each other are set to become one of 'Trigger’s' standout charms. Director Yoo Seon-dong praised Kim Hye-soo’s perfect embodiment of Oh So-ryong, saying, "This character wouldn’t exist without Kim Hye-soo." Kim herself described her role as a character who clings to justice and truth in a villain-driven world, while bursting with eccentric charm.

'Trigger' will kick off Disney+’s 2025 lineup with two episodes released weekly, spanning a total of 12 episodes. Produced by KeyEast and Ordinary Jam, and presented by Walt Disney Company Korea, the series promises top-notch quality with its compelling cast and fresh storytelling.

Kim Hye-soo’s transformation into the audacious Oh So-ryong is already generating excitement, with scenes ranging from her comedic fall with a nosebleed to her fierce, charismatic moments. The show offers a captivating blend of action, humor, and heart, as it tells the story of those who dare to fight for justice in an often unjust world. With 'Trigger,' Disney+ is set to heat up the winter with a story full of thrilling investigations and unorthodox characters, ready to captivate audiences starting this January.
