Actor Lee Jun-hyeok will transform into an exorcist priest through SBS's first drama of 2027, 'Awakening'.

On the 8th, the production team of SBS's new drama 'Awakening' (directed by Oh Jun-hyeok, written by Jang Yun-mi, produced by Studio S, TMG Group) unexpectedly released a special teaser featuring Lee Jun-hyeok.

'Awakening' is an occult exorcism drama set in a hanbok-style hellscape of the college entrance exam system, a cauldron of temptation and desire, where children lured by stimulants awaken terrible abilities while striving for academic improvement. In the story, an exorcist priest risks his soul to save the children. Lee Jun-hyeok plays 'Antonio', an exorcist priest dispatched to Holy Spirit High School to investigate evil spirits.

The released teaser showcases Lee Jun-hyeok transformed into an exorcist priest and depicts bizarre incidents occurring at Holy Spirit High School, delivering intense suspense.

As Antonio's voice declares, "The exorcism ritual begins by observing the possessed," scenes of students possessed by evil spirits unfold. Particularly, hallways stained with blood, students seemingly controlled by someone, and gradually revealed traces of evil spirits create an eerie atmosphere. Alongside this, grotesque laughter that pierces the ears and sound effects that amplify anxiety enhance immersion.

Following this, Antonio's desperate battle unfolds. His solemn appearance performing the exorcism ritual while saying, "Lord, come here," delivers an unexpected catharsis. Furthermore, it hints at a full-scale confrontation with a massive evil spirit that has swallowed the students, as he declares, "I will cast you out from that child's body."

Above all, Lee Jun-hyeok's perfect transformation into Father 'Antonio' captures attention. From scenes of being submerged in water and engulfed in flames to the exorcism ritual, the teaser promises a powerful performance. With this, anticipation naturally rises for Lee Jun-hyeok, who is taking on his first leading role in an occult genre since his debut, and his intense acting transformation in 'Awakening'.

Lee Jun-hyeok's occult exorcism drama 'Awakening' is scheduled to air in 2027.
