A novelist couple takes in the six-year-old son of a murdered twin sister. Soon after, a series of strange deaths begins around the child. Searching for the truth, they uncover Jingun Bigi, a secret Joseon-era prophecy foretelling the return of Sangun, a divine being destined to overturn the world.
As the prophecy begins to echo in 2026, the child becomes the center of a terrifying question: is he a savior, or the beginning of catastrophe?
Blending mystery horror, Korean shamanism, folk belief, and occult mythology, Sangun reimagines the “demonic child” motif as a distinctly Korean supernatural thriller about faith, nature, and the birth of a god.
