Actors Im Yoon-a (Girls' Generation, Yoona) and Cho Jung-seok, who are drawing attention as the main characters, will be released this summer.

On the morning of the 13th, the movie 'EXIT' released its E.X.I.T wide poster.

'EXIT' is a disaster escape action film depicting an emergency situation where a man working part-time as an unemployed youth (Cho Jung-seok) and his college club junior Lee-joo (Im Yoon-a) must escape a city covered in an unknown toxic gas.

'EXIT', with a completely different scenario from previous Korean disaster blockbusters, is expected to blow away the stifling heat of this summer and amplify anticipation.

The released poster includes images of Cho Jung-seok and Im Yoon-a escaping from a high place in the middle of the city to avoid toxic gas.

In the play, the part-time man is a former ace of the university mountaineering club, but after graduation, he repeatedly failed to find a job and has been unemployed for years.

Expectations are rising on how Cho Jung-seok's comical acting will lovingly bring the part-time man character to life.

Lee-joo's innate presence from her university mountaineering club days has faded, and she is a character who works as an event hall employee and lives a dull office worker life.

Attention is focused on the new side that Im Yoon-a, who showed outstanding comic acting that did not fall behind Hyun Bin and Yoo Hae-jin in 'Confidential Assignment', will show.

Along with the synergy of two talented and solid actors, the released poster stimulates curiosity about the 'real disaster' that will shock them more than job searching, dating, or nagging.

'EXIT' is the screen debut of director Lee Sang-geun, who has proven his talent by winning the Grand Prize and the Special Jury Prize three times at the Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival, a gateway for new directors.
