Grotesque Train Starring Golden Child’s Choi Bo-min to Hit Theaters on July 2

Korean idol-turned-actor Choi Bo-min, widely known as a member of the boy group Golden Child, is ready to terrify audiences in the upcoming horror film Grotesque Train, set to release nationwide in South Korea on July 2.

Directed by Tak Se-Woong, the film made waves during its premiere at the 29th Busan International Film Festival, where it was featured in the ‘Midnight Passion’ section and received acclaim for its unique blend of psychological terror and social realism. Bo-min plays the role of Woo-jin, a YouTube content producer who becomes entangled in a mystery while helping a woman named Da-kyung.

This marks a significant step in Bo-min’s evolving acting career. Since his debut with Golden Child in 2017, Choi Bo-min has steadily built a solid presence in K-dramas and now extends his genre portfolio to horror. Critics have praised his nuanced performance in Grotesque Train, highlighting how the idol seamlessly embodies a skeptical yet driven character caught in a chilling supernatural ride.

Grotesque Train stands out not only for its eerie plot but also for its depiction of modern fears—set aboard a seemingly ordinary train with dark secrets hiding within. Combining Tak Se-Woong’s signature cinematic tension with Bo-min’s growing charisma, the film is expected to captivate horror enthusiasts worldwide.

As Korean cinema continues to push boundaries in storytelling, Grotesque Train serves as another milestone demonstrating the evolution of multi-talented performers like Choi Bo-min. Fans and film lovers alike should mark their calendars for this spine-tingling release.
