Netflix Korea’s upcoming survival game reality series The Devil’s Plan released its official trailer on Wednesday, August 30. 

The 30-second teaser gives fans a glimpse on the challenges and games that the players will face. Interestingly, it also hints at possible betrayal among the players. 

 

“This is going to be a bloodbath,” one player said, while another declared: “You’re very suspicious.” Other players were also heard saying: “We have to use every trick and scheme.” 

In the description, Netflix Korea teased that The Devil’s Plan is a “whole new chapter of brain competition.” 

What we know so far about The Devil’s Plan

Aside from Seungkwan, 11 other participants will be joining the competition. 

The cast includes Problematic Men star Ha Seok Jin, professional Go player Cho Yeon Woo, and other professionals such as lawyer,  doctor, and announcer among others. 

Aside from popular personalities, the show also introduced two non-celebrity contestants: American orthopedic surgeon Seo Yoo Min and college student turned professional poker player Kim Dong Jae. The two were chosen through an open recruitment that the show held. 

 

The Devil’s Plan will be directed by Jung Jong Yeon. He is best known for producing and directing the popular survival shows Great Escape, The Genius, and High School Mystery Club.

“I have long wanted to create a brain survival format in the most reasonable and fun way. Everyone wonders, ‘I think like this?’ and The Devil’s Plan is a program that raises such questions,” the director said. 

Jung also described each participant’s strengths where he characterized Seungkwan as a player who has an “immense presence.” He added that the vocalist will meet the viewer’s expectations thanks to his experiences in various TV programs. 

Aside from The Devil’s Plan, Seungkwan has also participated in shows Prison Life of Fools, Unexpected Q,  and Idol Dictation Contest. He’s also the SEVENTEEN member with the most variety program appearances, having participated in Racket Boys, Five Cranky Brothers, and Job Dongsan. 

The Devil’s Plan is set to make its premiere on September 26.

CARATs’ excitement for Seungkwan 

Upon releasing the trailer, CARATs (SEVENTEEN’s fans) and Boosadans (Seungkwan’s fandom) flooded the comment section and social media with positive remarks.

“Seungkwan will make all the shows amazing, funny, and good. So, I know this will be a thrilling, good, and funny show,” one fan wrote.

 

The series is highly anticipated especially since it is Seungkwan’s first project after his hiatus. Last July, Pledis Entertainment, SEVENTEEN’s agency, announced that the idol will be taking a break for health reasons. With his hiatus, the singer missed the group’s promotional activities for their album FML and FOLLOW concert.  

However, the agency has already confirmed in early August that Seungkwan is set to join the group’s comeback in October. Additional details about SEVENTEEN’s upcoming album have yet to be announced.
