"The Killing Vote" Unveils Poster: Do You Support Capital Punishment?

SBS's new Thursday drama, The Killing Vote, will premiere on August 10th at 9 PM KST. The Killing Vote is a citizen participation drama that follows the story of tracking down anonymous vigilantes who conduct a national capital punishment vote and execute death sentences on notorious criminals. Produced by SBS, a master of the genre, this hard-boiled investigative thriller generated high anticipation even before its broadcast.

Amidst this, a teaser poster that captures the fresh shock that The Killing Vote will deliver was unexpectedly released on the 13th. The teaser poster for The Killing Vote does not feature the faces of the three lead actors,
Park Hae Jin (as Kim Moo Chan), Park Sung Woong (as Kwon Seok Joo), and Im Ji Yeon (as Joo Hyun). Instead, it presents an unidentified individual in a black suit holding a lifeless doll with no expression. The stark contrast of the black background and the lifeless white doll captivates attention.

In the drama, the anonymous vigilante conducts a national capital punishment vote targeting heinous criminals who have not been judged by the law and executes death sentences. The capital punishment vote, initiated by the vigilante, quickly shakes the entire society and raises questions about "what is true justice?" The vigilante, who attracts the public's attention, executes death sentences based on the voting results while the police race to track down this enigmatic figure.

Therefore, the vigilante plays a crucial and symbolic role in The Killing Vote. By prominently featuring the vigilante on the teaser poster instead of the familiar faces of the actors, the drama makes a strong statement that it is far from ordinary or conventional. The caption "Do you support capital punishment?" creates anticipation for a shocking and powerful drama because it portrays something that cannot exist.

With a single teaser poster concealing the actors' faces and the story, The Killing Vote delivers an unprecedented shock and impact. When this shocking and intriguing story is brought to life by trusted actors with their exceptional performances, the catharsis, and immersion experienced by the viewers will exceed imagination. This is why The Killing Vote is the most anticipated and shocking drama of the second half of 2023.

The Killing Vote will begin with a double episode on August 10th at 9 PM KST, followed by a weekly same time Thursday broadcast.
