posted on by Wonhee Cho
Shark: The Storm, based on the webtoon Shark, is set to premiere on May 15 as a six-episode original series on the Korean streaming platform TVING. Ahead of the release, TVING unveiled a new teaser poster highlighting the tense showdown between lead characters played by Min-seok Kim and Hyun-wook Lee.
Shark: The Storm, which is the sequel to the 2021 film Shark: The Beginning, expands the universe into a serialized format and continues the story of Woo-sol Cha (played by Min-seok Kim), who has trained to become a professional MMA fighter after his release from prison. His opponent is Woo-yong Hyun (played by Hyun-wook Lee), a ruthless villain whose violent showdown with Woo-sol drives the central conflict.
The story follows Woo-sol's evolution from a survivor to a protector, fighting not only for his own life but to defend those he cares about.
The webtoon Shark, created by Woon and Woo-seop Kim, has been serialized since 2016. Currently there is no English version available.
