Well Go USA has unveiled the official trailer for its upcoming Korean mystery thriller, titled The Ugly, set to debut later this month in select US theaters. The film will have its premiere at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival next month. Directed by the prolific Yeon Sang-ho, who has garnered recognition for works such as Seoul Station, Train to Busan, Peninsula, JUNG_E, Hellbound, and the recent Revelations, the film is a stark departure from his previous spectacles, focusing instead on an intimate narrative steeped in memory and moral complexity. The central theme revolves around a son’s pursuit of truth amidst a past that refuses to remain concealed.

The film features performances by Park Jeong-min, Kwon Hae-hyo, Shin Hyun-been, Im Seong-jae, and Han Ji-hyeon. The story follows Im Young-gyu, a blind yet exceptionally skilled seal artisan, and his son, Im Dong-hwan. As they confront the long-buried truths concerning the mysterious death of Dong-hwan’s mother, a secret that has persisted for four decades, the unfolding narrative challenges the perception of beauty and legacy. The trailer teases the complexities of their journey, withholding substantial plot reveals while hinting at the emotional weight of their discoveries.

The Ugly, known as 얼굴 in Korean, is based on Yeon’s 2018 graphic novel of the same name. Yeon Sang-ho, famed for igniting the global K-zombie phenomenon, continues to expand his cinematic repertoire. Produced by Wow Point, The Ugly will be released by Well Go USA in select US theaters on September 26th, 2025.
