Lee Min Ho, Ahn Hyo Seop & BLACKPINK Jisoo's Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy drops character posters, teaser ahead of July release
Fans of Korean fantasy are in for a wild ride this summer. The upcoming film Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy (2025), based on the bestselling web novel and webtoon, has just released a fresh batch of character posters alongside a gripping teaser trailer. Starring Ahn Hyo Seop, Lee Min Ho, Chae Soo Bin, Nana, Shin Seung Ho, and BLACKPINK's Jisoo, this highly anticipated adaptation dives into a reality-bending apocalypse where fiction and reality collide brutally. Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy character posters out now: meet the faces of the end times As noted by K-media outlet iMBC, the newly revealed character posters capture the raw tension of a world on the brink. Ahn Hyo Seop leads as Kim Dok Ja, an ordinary office worker who's read every word of a decade-long fantasy novel — and now finds himself living it. His intense stare and the chilling line, 'I'm the only reader who knows how this world ends,' set the tone for what's to come. Opposite him is Lee Min Ho as the novel's original protagonist Yoo Joong Hyuk, grappling with a collapsed reality and asking, 'Why did the world end up like this?' Chae Soo Bin plays Yoo Sang Ah, a co-worker turned survivor who reacts with disbelief, then resolve: 'Do we have to fight every day here?' Shin Seung Ho's Lee Hyun Sung questions Kim Dokja's strange foresight ultimately makes him his loyal protector. Nana's Jung Hee Won, fierce and principled, warns, 'There's still one left. One who gave up on being human,' while Jisoo transforms into Ji Hye, a cold yet compelling fighter who bluntly states, 'Only the strong survive in this world.' Young actor Kwon Eun Sung rounds out the cast as Lee Gil Young, who brings innocence and determination to the team with, 'I want to fight monsters too.' Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy teaser trailer brings the chaos to life The teaser trailer wastes no time throwing viewers into the deep end. Kim Dok Ja's quiet train ride home turns into chaos when a booming voice announces the start of a paid survival scenario. 'This is exactly how the novel starts,' he says in shock, just as a mysterious goblin-like creature named Bi Gyung appears and declares, 'All humans will receive a scenario. Kill at least one lifeform.' What follows is a flurry of action, fear, and rising tension as everyday life gives way to monsters, missions, and moral dilemmas. With only the knowledge from his favourite story to rely on, Kim Dok Ja must guide a mismatched crew of allies, both fictional and real, through a collapsing world filled with deadly twists. The film combines a fresh premise with jaw-dropping visuals and high-stakes character dynamics. With its July release fast approaching, Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy is shaping up to be a must-watch for fantasy and action fans alike.
