Go Hyun Jung Transforms Into A Death Row Inmate In "Queen Mantis"
SBS’s upcoming drama “Queen Mantis” has shared new stills of Go Hyun Jung!
A remake of the French series “La Mante,” “Queen Mantis” is a crime thriller starring Go Hyun Jung as Jung Yi Shin, a famous serial killer nicknamed “The Mantis” who brutally murdered five men 20 years ago and has been imprisoned ever since. When a new serial killer emerges, copying The Mantis’s distinctive style, the police approaches Jung Yi Shin for her assistance in solving the case.
In the newly released stills, Jung Yi Shin is seen locked up behind bars, dressed in a blue prison uniform. In one photo, she is being closely monitored by prison guards while being escorted somewhere within the prison, her hands tightly bound. A bright red prisoner number is attached to her uniform, indicating that she is on death row. The stark contrast between the blue prison uniform, the red inmate number, and Yi Shin’s pale face captures viewers’ attention.
In the photos, Jung Yi Shin appears detached from the world, as if she’s given up on everything, yet there’s an unsettling aura about her.
The drama’s production team commented, “In ‘Queen Mantis,’ actress Go Hyun Jung will show an acting transformation that transcends imagination. Go Hyun Jung poured her heart and soul into her performance and appearance for this drama, and she even pushed herself to her physical limits. We hope you’ll look forward to the chilling story of the ruthless serial killer ‘The Mantis,’ brought to life by Go Hyun Jung’s intense effort and detailed performance.”
“Queen Mantis” will premiere on September 5 at 9:50 p.m. KST. Check out a teaser for the drama here!
