“Vigilante” Confirms Premiere Date On Disney+, Unveils Teaser Poster and Trailer
Directed by Choi Jeong-yeol, Vigilante is based on the popular webtoon of the same name by CRG and Kim Kyu-sam.
Tired of seeing the legal system fail, and repeat offenders being set free, Kim Ji-yong decides to step up and do something about it.
A star student at the police academy, he is a burgeoning martial arts master, a bookish academic, and has spent over a decade haunted by the image of his mother being beaten and murdered in front of him by a stranger with a bad temper.
When his mother’s attacker is set free, Ji-yong pursues the man and catches him in the middle of another attack. Exacting his revenge on the non-repentant offender, Jiyong is set along a path that will see him target other repeat offenders, and unwittingly draw media and police attention.
Ji-yong will be forced into a cat-and-mouse game to continue pursuing criminals while avoiding being caught himself. As seen in the latest teaser video, he becomes a dark hero chasing after remorseless criminals and delivering his own violent form of justice.
Vigilante will join a whole host of award-winning Korean content now available on Disney+, including Moving, about a group of South Korean spies working to protect their super-powered children from harm and exploitation at the hands of malicious government agencies; as well as the recently released The Worst of Evil – a fast-paced crime thriller that sees volatile police officer Park Junmo infiltrate a dangerous new gang in an attempt to bring them down from the inside. Disney+ subscribers can also enjoy access to a whole library of endless entertainment, including other APAC Originals and global tentpole titles.
Stream the first two episodes of Vigilante from November 8, exclusively on Disney+.
