The new horror drama 'If Wishes Could Kill' has confirmed its first broadcast on April 24 and has begun a full-fledged countdown. According to related industry reports, this work depicts the story of high school students who are cursed by an unidentified wish-fulfillment app called 'GIRIGO' and are doomed to death.

As the protagonists race against time to escape the app's deadly curse, they come face to face with the horrifying truth hidden behind it. Jeon So-young, Kang Mina, Baek Seon-ho, Hyun Woo-seok, Lee Hyo-je, Jeon So-ni, Noh Jae-won, etc. appeared and are attracting attention.

The eerie atmosphere of the released teaser

The newly released teaser poster depicts a high school student standing in the middle of an empty school hallway. There is a broken smartphone in his hand, and the phrase “Do you have a wish that is worth dying for?” catches the eye.

In the video teaser released together, a scene appears where Hyeong-wook, played by Lee Hyo-je, is holding a cutter knife and running towards Yoo Se-ah, played by Jeon So-young. An unknown timer is ticking on his phone. The tension is heightened by the scenes of teenagers mourning and recording and sending their wishes on an app, as well as the scenes of them being engulfed in confusion and fear.

A new attempt at the teen horror genre

Recently, horror stories set in schools have been attracting the attention of viewers, and 'Kirigo' combines the fantasy elements of wish fulfillment with the horror genre elements of curses and survival. The setting of supernatural phenomena through apps appears to be more realistic to the digital native generation.

Expectations are high to see what kind of tension the ensemble of young actors, led by Jeon So-young and Kang Mina, will create.
