Upcoming film “Galatea” has dropped intriguing new posters!

“Galatea” explores a world set in the near future where human-like AIs coexist with real humans in South Korea. The film expands on the universe of director Hwang Seung Jae’s award-winning film “The Interviewees,” which won the Grand Prize (Daesang) in the Video Category at the 8th SF Awards in 2021. Through a hyper-realistic depiction of the future, the film also delves into pressing social issues in modern-day Korea.

Posters Overview

The five newly released posters each carry a unique subtitle, resembling individual movie posters that hint at the distinct narratives within the film.

Poster 1: Voice Phishing

The first poster, titled “Voice Phishing,” features SF9’s Chani and Lee Joo Shil smiling in front of a mirror. The juxtaposition of their warm expressions with the unsettling tagline, “Just transfer the money first, Mom!” sparks curiosity about the unsettling turn their story might take.

Poster 2: Mortgage

The second poster, “Mortgage,” highlights Oh Hee Joon gazing longingly at a model of a newly built apartment. The tagline, “Switch to a posthumous 500-year AI mortgage loan now!” raises the intriguing question—will he actually sign up for a home loan that spans 500 years beyond his death?

Poster 3: Voice Recognition

The third poster, “Voice Recognition,” features Lee Yo Won holding a suitcase, accompanied by the eerie phrase, “Mom, I’ll listen to you now!” The cryptic message leaves viewers wondering whose voice is speaking and what’s inside the suitcase.

Poster 4: Pairing

In the fourth poster, “Pairing,” Baek Soo Jang and Lee Jae Yi appear to be engaged in a pleasant conversation. However, the tagline, “Transmitting beyond the cloud,” combined with an ominous gaze peering at them through a window, hints at hidden secrets between the two.

Poster 5: Update

The final poster, “Update,” puts the spotlight on Jung Kyung Ho, emphasizing his dual role with the phrase “Jung Kyung Ho vs. Jung Kyung Ho.” The tagline, “The update will complete soon. If you don’t wish to continue, please press cancel,” suggests that his character is in the process of updating his personal data into an AI version of himself.

Together, these five visually striking posters tease the film’s exploration of futuristic scenarios, where everyday concepts from 2025—such as voice phishing, mortgages, and cloud pairing—are reimagined through the lens of advanced AI technology.

“Galatea” is set to hit theaters across Korea on April 9.
