The upcoming thriller film “Killing Time” is raising anticipation with newly released stills featuring Nam Yoon Su and Ryu Hye Young.
The images offer a glimpse at the tense situation awaiting their characters as they become trapped in a dangerous environment while attempting to revive their struggling internet broadcast channel.
“Killing Time” follows an internet broadcasting crew of the same name that becomes popular for producing sensational content.
However, the crew’s success takes a devastating turn when one of its members dies during a live broadcast.
Following the incident, the team loses its popularity and faces the consequences of the tragedy.
Determined to make a successful comeback, the remaining members decide to return to filming and search for content capable of bringing their channel back into the spotlight.
Their comeback takes them to an abandoned hospital, where their attempt to create attention-grabbing content quickly turns into a fight for survival.
Once filming begins, the crew encounters a mysterious entity that attacks them. What initially appears to be another opportunity to produce sensational material becomes an unexpected life-or-death situation, forcing the members to focus on staying alive rather than simply completing their broadcast.
The film centers on the dangerous relationship between content creation, public attention, and the increasingly extreme lengths the crew is willing to go to in order to regain its audience.
Ryu Hye Young and Nam Yoon Su Become Trapped in a Dangerous Situation
Ryu Hye Young plays Yeon Woo, a streamer who experiences a dramatic fall from the spotlight after the death of a team member.
Following the incident, she steps away from streaming and keeps a low profile.
However, Yeon Woo eventually decides to return in front of the camera in the hope of rebuilding her career.
Her return places her directly in the middle of the terrifying events at the abandoned hospital.
Nam Yoon Su portrays Joo Won, the producer-director and leader of the “Killing Time” channel.
Unlike Yeon Woo, Joo Won remains intensely focused on creating successful content. He is willing to push the boundaries in order to revive the channel, even when the circumstances become increasingly dangerous.
His determination to keep filming becomes particularly important once the crew encounters the mysterious entity inside the hospital.
The newly released stills capture the growing tension between the two characters.
In one image, Yeon Woo and Joo Won are seen standing in a dark space while cautiously looking behind them.
Their expressions suggest that they are aware that something is wrong but do not know exactly what may be waiting around them.
Another still shows the pair looking through a set of iron bars.
Their tense expressions further emphasize the uncertainty surrounding their situation.
The images leave viewers wondering whether Yeon Woo and Joo Won will manage to escape from the abandoned hospital and complete the survival challenge.
‘Killing Time’ Brings Live Broadcasting and Survival Together
The film’s premise places internet broadcasting at the center of its thriller narrative.
The crew initially enters the abandoned hospital to create content that can help restore the channel’s popularity.
Instead, they find themselves facing a threat that turns their planned broadcast into an actual struggle for survival.
Earlier promotional material for the film highlighted the idea of a “Killing Live,” in which the danger unfolding during the broadcast becomes increasingly real.
The film’s poster also features a shattered play button and a playback bar resembling an online video player, reinforcing the connection between digital content and the story’s survival game.
The film therefore follows not only the physical danger faced by its characters but also their desperate desire to regain public attention.
Joo Won’s determination to continue producing content and Yeon Woo’s attempt to return to streaming create an additional layer of tension as the two find themselves caught in circumstances they could not have anticipated.
“Killing Time” is directed by Jang Jun Yeop and stars Ryu Hye Young as Yeon Woo and Nam Yoon Su as Joo Won.
The thriller is scheduled to hit theaters in October 2026, bringing the story of the internet broadcasting crew and its dangerous comeback to the big screen.
