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.

Who is BTS' Suga? Inside the K-pop star's $40M rise as he returns from military service today
BTS star Suga is officially done with his military service. After his return, attention is turning not only to his comeback to the global stage but also to the impressive fortune he has built during his career. With an estimated net worth of $30 to $40 million, Suga—real name Min Yoon-gi—has quietly become one of the most financially successful K-pop artists of his generation. Born in Daegu, South Korea, in 1993, Suga began writing music at the age of 13 and joined Big Hit Entertainment in 2010. He debuted with BTS in 2013 and soon emerged as a leading creative force in the group. Known for his introspective lyrics and emotional storytelling, Suga has written and produced over 160 songs, including many under his solo alias Agust D. Music remains the cornerstone. As part of BTS and through his solo albums 'Agust D', 'D-2', and 'D-Day', as well as a successful world tour, Suga has generated substantial revenue from album sales, streaming, and concerts. He also earns copyright royalties through his membership with the Korea Music Copyright Association, further securing his long-term financial position. Brand deals have become a significant contributor. Suga has been appointed a global ambassador for Valentino, leading its Maison Valentino Essentials campaign. He also partnered with the NBA as a global ambassador, tapping into his long-time passion for basketball. Suga's collaborations with artists such as PSY, IU, and Halsey have broadened his international appeal and brought in additional revenue. His taste for luxury is evident. He owns a Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy SUV, and his Seoul apartment in UN Village, one of the city's most exclusive neighbourhoods, is valued at approximately $3 million. The gated community is often dubbed 'Seoul's Beverly Hills' and houses several Korean celebrities. Suga is also known for his luxury watch collection, which includes a Rolex Datejust 36 worth $10,000 and an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding priced around $17,750. His sneaker collection, featuring limited edition Air Jordans and collaborations with Travis Scott, adds flair to his public image, especially during NBA appearances. Though his journey has not been without controversy—most notably a drink-driving incident in 2024 and a previous issue over music sampling—Suga's public apologies and continued fan support have sustained his standing. With his military service nearing completion, all eyes are on what the multitalented artist will do next. He recently took a break from his social service and attended his fellow band-member J-Hope's 'Hope on the Stage' concert. Whether returning with BTS or exploring further solo ventures, Suga's wealth, work ethic, and cultural influence put him firmly in the league of global music elites.

BTS set for full-group comeback in March 2026: Report
BTS is expected to make a full-group comeback in March 2026, according to an exclusive report by The Korea Herald. Multiple industry insiders confirmed that all seven members of the global K-pop sensation are preparing to reunite after completing their mandatory 18-month military service. Suga, the final member currently enlisted, has been discharged today, June 21(Saturday). His return has marked the completion of service for the entire group, fuelling anticipation about their next steps. 'BTS' comeback date is set for March next year,' a Hybe official confirmed through The Korea Herald's source. Two additional overseas sources echoed the statement, confirming that the group is working toward resuming group activities early next year. Another source revealed that BTS is expected to return in mid-March, possibly around the same time as their labelmates Tomorrow X Together (TXT). 'While the exact date is unknown, I think it will be mid-March. I heard BTS is returning in the same month as their brother group Tomorrow X Together,' the source said. 'It could be BTS first, then TXT — or the other way around.' Meanwhile, Enhypen, another Hybe-affiliated group under Belift Lab, had reportedly planned their comeback for March but moved it to January to avoid overlapping with BTS. At a shareholder meeting earlier this year, Hybe CEO Lee Jae-sang stated, 'We're preparing alongside top-tier producers, but the artists also need time to reflect and prepare.' This suggests that while planning is in motion, the group's return will not be rushed. Jin is set to begin his solo fan concert tour 'Runseokjin_EP.Tour' from June 28 in Goyang, with 18 shows scheduled across Asia, the US, and Europe until August 10 . Given these commitments, a group comeback in 2025 appears unlikely. Despite mounting excitement, Big Hit Music has stated that BTS' comeback schedule has 'yet to be finalised.' However, industry watchers suggest the possibility of a pre-release single or project ahead of the full comeback.
