Concrete Utopia, the disaster movie, depicts the story of survivors gathering in the Hwang Goong Apartment, the only remaining building after a devastating earthquake turns Seoul into ruins. The unique poster released, exudes intense tension against the backdrop of the Hwang Goong Apartment while captivating everyone's attention with the distinctive presence of characters, including the new resident representative, Young Tak (played by Lee Byung Hun).

Lee Byung Hun's portrayal of Young Tak promises to create a powerful impact on the screen with his limitless acting transformation. The precarious gaze of Min Sung (played by Park Seo Joon) and Myung Hwa (played by Park Bo Young) foreshadows an unpredictable disaster that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

The poster also raises expectations for the synergy of the actors' performances, as Kim Sun Young's gentle smile, Park Ji Hu's contemplative gaze, and Kim Do Yoon's intense demeanor meld perfectly with their respective characters. The caption "Follow the rules of survival or leave" adds to the anticipation for a high-density drama set in the last surviving apartment during a disaster.
Concrete Utopia, having been officially invited to the Gala Presentation section of the 48th Toronto International Film Festival, one of the four major international film festivals alongside Cannes, Berlin, and Venice, continues to generate high expectations.

The film, confirmed for theatrical release on August 9th, is set to dominate the summer box office with its fresh and distinct storytelling style, offering a cinematic experience like never before.
