‘Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint’ Film Adaptation Drops First Trailer

The highly anticipated film “Omniscient Reader” (also known as “Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint”) has unveiled its first trailer and poster, sending waves of excitement throughout the fandom.

‘Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint’ Film Drops Poster and Trailer

Based on the popular web novel of the same name, the film follows the extraordinary journey of Kim Dok Ja (Ahn Hyo Seop), an ordinary man who finds himself thrust into the very world of the fantasy novel he once read. Armed with the unique advantage of knowing the novel’s plot, Kim Dok Ja embarks on a quest to prevent the impending apocalypse and save the world from its foretold end.

The trailer opens with a striking scene: Kim Dok Ja is seen reading a line from the first chapter of the novel—“The subway stopped in the middle of Dongho Bridge.” In a mesmerizing twist, the words on the page come to life as the subway he is riding halts exactly as described, prompting a chilling realization: “This is the same as the start of that novel.” The tension escalates when the bridge collapses, setting the stage for a dramatic confrontation. Amid the chaos, Kim Dok Ja encounters Yoo Joong Hyuk (Lee Min Ho), a character who was once confined to the pages of fiction. Their encounter is charged with intrigue as Yoo Joong Hyuk, with a hint of mystery, demands, “What are you?”

The action-packed trailer offers tantalizing glimpses of an impressive ensemble cast, including Chae Soo Bin, Shin Seung Ho, Nana, and BLACKPINK’s Jisoo, each adding to the film’s dynamic energy. Complementing the trailer, the new poster boldly proclaims, “The world inside the novel becomes reality,” encapsulating the film’s central theme of blurring the boundaries between fiction and life.

With its official theatrical release slated for July 2025, “Omniscient Reader” promises a visually stunning, thought-provoking, and adrenaline-fueled cinematic experience. Fans of the original web novel and new viewers alike can look forward to an epic tale of destiny, survival, and the power of imagination as reality itself begins to rewrite the rules.

Here’s Why Ex-after School’s Nana Is Removing Her Tattoos

Nana, a former member of K-pop girl group After School, is no stranger to being praised for her good looks. 

But in September 2022, she went viral for a different aspect of her visuals: her tattoos.

Wearing a black tube dress, Nana flaunted over seven different tattoos. It was during the press conference for the Netflix series Glitch that the idol-actress revealed that her tattoos were real. “I got the tattoos because I wanted to,” she explained.

Fans were quick to applaud her for being vocal about it given that many South Koreans are still iffy with the idea of having tattoos. 

However, Nana’s tattoos are the talk of the town once again now that she opened up that she’s bidding farewell to them.

In the August 14 episode of Jo Hyunah’s Thursday Night, she said that she’s removing them due to a request from her mother.

Initially, Nana explained that her mother gave full permission with her getting inked. She continued that her mother understood that the tattoos were her emotional and creative outlet during a rough period in her life. 

Additionally, the artist disclosed that getting a tattoo during an emotionally difficult time in her life was a way for her to cope with her struggles. 

 

But recently, her mother expressed her desire in seeing her daughter’s body clean of tattoos once again. 

Instead of getting hurt or angry over her mother’s sentiments, Nana said that she understands where her mother is coming from. The idol-actress guessed that her mother is aware that she’s in a better place now compared to when she got the tattoos. 

Moreover, now that she’s feeling more emotionally stable, it wasn’t difficult for Nana to agree with her mother. 

While some fans are sad that she’s removing her tattoos, others also commended Nana’s great relationship with her mother.
