The film 'The Negotiation' (directed by Lee Jong-seok), which has garnered anticipation for its pairing of actors Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin, has released two teaser posters and a teaser trailer.

'The Negotiation' is a crime entertainment film about a crisis negotiator, Ha Chae-yoon, who embarks on the negotiation of a lifetime to stop the hostage-taker 'Min Tae-goo' within the time limit, after the worst hostage crisis in Thailand occurs. It depicts the breathtaking confrontation between the top negotiator 'Ha Chae-yoon' (played by Son Ye-jin) and the worst hostage-taker 'Min Tae-goo' (played by Hyun Bin).

The teaser poster released this time shows Son Ye-jin, who transforms into the first negotiator in Korean cinema, Ha Chae-yoon, displaying a professional demeanor engrossed in solving the case with a very serious expression in front of the situation room's multi-vision.

The multi-vision displays the hostage-taker 'Min Tae-goo' appearing through the monitor, the citizens abducted by him, news screens reporting the worst hostage situation in history, and the tense atmosphere of the special investigation room, allowing a glimpse into the urgent situation. The image of the hostage-taker 'Min Tae-goo' holding a pistol and staring straight ahead with an unusual gaze behind the multi-vision captivates the eye with Hyun Bin's unconventional transformation in his first-ever villainous role.

The teaser trailer for 'The Negotiation', released concurrently, features the worst hostage-taker 'Min Tae-goo' in the very first scene, uniquely adjusting the camera angle through the monitor.

'Min Tae-goo', who announces his criminal act and designates the negotiation expert 'Ha Chae-yoon' from the crisis negotiation team of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency as his negotiation target, calmly and composedly begins the negotiation of a lifetime with 'Ha Chae-yoon', who responds with her official title. This trailer presents an explosive tension and dense suspense that will dominate the Chuseok film season.

Even with just the release of the teaser posters and trailer, the crime entertainment film 'The Negotiation', where Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin meet for the first time as negotiator vs. hostage-taker, foreshadows a tense atmosphere and is scheduled to meet audiences during the Chuseok film season in September.
