LG U+’s STUDIO X+U has released new stills for the upcoming mystery thriller “Tarot” ahead of its premiere!

“Tarot” unfolds as a series of seven omniverse horror episodes delving into mysterious events that could be part of anyone’s everyday life, all centered around the theme of tarot cards. The plot kicks off as the main characters each receive different tarot cards, and in that moment, find their destinies cursed by the twisted tarot cards.

Earlier this year, it was confirmed that Dex had been cast for the series alongside Jo Yeo Jeong, Park Ha Sun, Go Kyu Pil, Seo Ji Hoon, Lee Joo Bin, Kim Sung Tae, T-ara’s Eunjung, and Oh Yu Jin, each of whom will play the lead roles in their respective episodes.

Notably, the drama marks Dex’s first acting project where he will portray Dong In, a veteran delivery rider nicknamed “Delivery King” in the “Please Throw It Away” episode.

In the newly released stills, Dex fully embodies the character as he visits a spooky place for delivery. His bewildered expression suggests he witnessed something he wasn’t supposed to see, raising viewers’ curiosity as to what will happen to Dong In in the series.

Jo Yeo-jeong, Dex, and Ko Gyu-pil's 'Tarot', a good example of crossover... A proud entry ticket

 

PS24053100093.jpg

 

The drama ‘Tarot’ is a film depicting the cruel mystery of fate that leaves one trapped in the curse of tarot cards twisted by a momentary choice. Although it was produced as a series, it utilizes the structure of ‘Tarot’, which consists of 7 episodes, and among them, the episodes of Jo Yeo-jeong, Dex, and Ko Gyu-pil are produced as a movie and presented to the audience. Therefore, since the news of its theatrical release was announced, interest and expectations for ‘Tarot’, a crossover project between the movie and the series, have been soaring day by day. As proof of this, ‘Taro’ has continued to gain traction since the main poster was released, ranking first in search terms for upcoming movies.

Tarot traps Jo Yeo-jung and Go Kyu-pil in a cruel fate

by tccolb

uplus_tarot_h.jpg

LG’s Studio X+U has been gearing up for Tarot’s upcoming theater release, coming out with a new poster and video teaser for the mystery-horror’s film version starring Jo Yeo-jung (Behind Every Star), Go Kyu-pil (Frankly Speaking), and YouTuber/celebrity personality Dex (a.k.a. Kim Jin-young).

Out of the seven episodes in the omnibus-style series, Jo Yeo-jung’s segment Santa’s Visit was first featured at the Cannes International Series Festival this past April. The theater edit adds Go Kyu-pil’s Late Night Taxi and Dex’s Abandon Me into the mix, all connected of course by the terrible fate that befalls them through our story’s suspicious tarot cards.

We thus begin the teaser with each of our leads encountering said cards as they go about their everyday life. Dong-in (Dex) is told that his High Priestess card will bring great fortune, while Kyung-rae (Go Kyu-pil) scoffs to hear that The Fool card indicates he’ll be a freewheeling womanizer. Elsewhere, Ji-woo (Jo Yeo-jung) holds The Wheel of Fortune and reads that it could bring her opportunities and good luck.

 

This then begins our characters’ slip into the cursed trap as Dong-in’s friend calls him about a not-so-pleasant woman who might be looking for Dong-in. It’s unclear if she is the customer on Dong-in’s next delivery order, but he’s taken aback by her odd behavior and request to take out the trash.

We then cut to Kyung-rae who is eerily taken off course at night when his strange taxi driver Lee Moon-shik (Big Bet) decides to detour into a dark forest. Although the driver claims that he needs to make a quick stopover, we also overhear an unsettling phone call about blood.

Anxious about leaving her daughter at home alone, single mom Ji-woo keeps checking her phone at work. But as we watch a last video call with her daughter, Ji-woo soon realizes that something is off. As the horror ramps up in the final sequence, the teaser comes to a close on a text screen addressing the audience, creepily asking, “Would you like to try changing your fate?”

On the production side, Tarot has PD Choi Byung-gil (High Class) at the helm with scripts penned by Kyung Min-sun. In theaters, the film cut releases on June 14 next week. But we’ll have to wait a little longer for the full series, which is expected to launch on LG’s U+ Mobile TV later this year.

"Dropping the name Dex"…Kim Jin Young ventures into acting with 'Tarot'

Posted by Alec06

 

 

1718195516-5a91dd71-d18c-474e-9242-a474a

 

"In acting, I felt I needed to work as Kim Jin Young, not Dex."

 

Creator and media personality Dex is stepping into the public eye as actor Kim Jin Young. He has taken the plunge into the film industry with 'Tarot.' "I am grateful for the first opportunity. I did my best not to disappoint," he said.

 

Director Choi Byung Gil was the first to reach out. After seeing Dex’s sincerity on shows like 'Toy Soldiers: Fake Men 2,' 'Single's Inferno,' and 'Adventure by Accident,' he saw potential.

 

"The production company didn't know Dex well. I assured them that he could be trusted," said Director Choi.

 

Kim Jin Young seized the opportunity without hesitation. Despite it being his first acting role, first film, and first lead role, he faced it without fear. "I wanted to express the arrogance and audacity of youth," he said.

 

1718196051-433ac731-f4a3-4f08-bfc2-82de0

 

The film 'Tarot' held a special press conference on the 12th at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Yongsan, Seoul. Actors Jo Yeo Jeong, Kim Jin Young (Dex), Go Gyu Pil, and Director Choi Byung Gil attended.

 

'Tarot' is a cruel fate mystery. It tells the story of people living their daily lives who suddenly face ominous destinies foretold by tarot cards. The film is an omnibus format consisting of seven episodes, with three episodes bundled into the movie.

 

The episodes include Jo Yeo Jeong’s 'Santa’s Visit,' Kim Jin Young’s 'Throw Away,' and Go Gyu Pil’s 'Going Home.' Director Choi said, "We filmed it like a documentary."

 

Through the film, the director wanted to convey messages about the city and reality. "I wanted to talk about a mother’s maternal love, the burden of the head of a family, and a strong-willed youth. These characters represent our city's population," he explained.

 

Kim Jin Young stars in the episode 'Throw Away,' which serves as the film’s finale. It portrays the horror faced by a veteran delivery rider called Dong In (played by Kim Jin Young), also known as the Delivery King.

1718196080-b7c0e70f-3b48-416c-89c0-53e18

 

Kim Jin Young expressed, "I was frustrated with the director. He placed my episode at the end. I felt embarrassed that my acting would be shown after Jo Yeo Jeong and Go Gyu Pil’s stable performances."

 

Contrary to his concerns, Director Choi expressed satisfaction. "He did very well overall. I had a good feeling from the start," he said, "I think he will shine even more as an actor."

 

From the beginning, 'Tarot' felt like destiny for Kim Jin Young. He had received several offers from other production companies before 'Tarot,' but he turned them down because he didn't feel they were right for him.

 

'Tarot' was the only project he decided to join without hesitation after reading the script. "Meeting Dong In felt like destiny. There were many similarities between us, so I thought I could synchronize with the character," he recalled.

 

He aimed to immerse himself in the character, putting a lot of effort into image training. "I tried to overlay myself on Dong In. I wanted to express him as Kim Jin Young," he explained.

 

1718196116-d7481238-8c21-4206-aa73-0c8d6

 

He set clear goals for his acting. "Dong In is a character who lives each day diligently. I wanted to blend arrogance and audacity from youth into him," he said, "It was a challenge to balance without overdoing it."

 

Kim Jin Young also referred to documentaries to experience the character’s life indirectly. "I looked at how delivery workers actually work and what challenges they face," he shared.

 

He proposed ad-libs as well. For example, in a scene where he talks to the snack shop owner, his script only had the lines 'Thank you, thank you.' On set, he improvised and created new dialogue.

"I felt that the director was very generous," he said, "I wanted to express more with the bright energy on set, and he readily agreed."

 

How did his senior actors evaluate his acting? Jo Yeo Jeong starred in 'Santa’s Visit,' and Go Gyu Pil led 'Going Home.' Go Gyu Pil said, "He did so well for his first time, it was surprising."

Kim Jin Young has built his recognition in various entertainment shows under the name Dex. However, as an actor, he is using his real name, Kim Jin Young. This choice reflects his clear value system.

During the press conference, regarding using his real name, Kim Jin Young, for his acting career, Dex explained, "I didn't have any huge concerns. I thought it was only natural. I believe variety shows and acting are different fields." He added, "I decided to use my real name with a new mindset, passion, and conviction. I think I need to work harder to make that name known. The biggest reason was to clearly distinguish between variety shows and acting."

Previously, Dex mentioned he was curious about "how much criticism I might receive." He explained, "I don't think I'm afraid of critiques. Since I work in front of many people, I'm not scared of harsh criticism but rather welcome it because it can help me improve and show a better version of myself."

He continued, "I will humbly accept negative feedback, and if you can praise me for just one thing I've done well, it will give me the confidence to show an even better version of myself."
