‘Smashing’ Unveils Special Poster as Momentum Builds for Lee Hye-young and Kim Sung-cheol’s Thriller

A cult-like fanbase known as the ‘Smashing Squad’ is growing fast around the thriller ‘Smashing’, starring veteran actress Lee Hye-young and rising star Kim Sung-cheol. Capitalizing on that momentum, the film has just released a special poster that’s captivating both longtime devotees and new viewers alike.

‘Smashing’ is a high-octane Korean action drama centering on Jo-gak, a legendary assassin portrayed by Lee Hye-young, who has spent over four decades eliminating “cockroach-like” humans for a secretive organization. She now faces her ultimate challenge — To-woo, a cryptic killer who’s been shadowing her for life, played by Kim Sung-cheol. The twisted mix of love and hate between the two leads has fueled the passionate rise of the ‘Smashing Squad’ fandom in recent weeks.

The newly dropped poster speaks volumes about this cryptic relationship. Jo-gak, gripping a traditional hairpin, stares blankly ahead, while To-woo’s never-before-seen expression adds an unfamiliar vulnerability to his menacing persona. The cold atmosphere is amplified by their solemn stances and the chilling caption that reads, “Do not spare sympathy at the end of a blade.”

The poster not only teases a confrontation brimming with emotional and physical intensity but also pulls fans deeper into the psychologically layered narrative. With every glance, viewers are invited to unravel the inner worlds of Jo-gak and To-woo — a dynamic so complex it transcends simple rivalry.

The smart rollout of this special edition poster is only adding fuel to the blazing anticipation ahead of the film’s expanded release. ‘Smashing’ is not just an action spectacle; it’s a psychological war wrapped in style, execution, and unmatched performances.
