Upcoming film “The Moon” has unveiled more stills of EXO’s D.O.!
Produced by director Kim Yong Hwa, the mastermind behind the “Along With the Gods” series, “The Moon” will tell the story of an astronaut left alone in space and another man on Earth who is desperately trying to save him.
D.O. plays astronaut Hwang Sun Woo, a molecular physics major and former Underwater Demolition Team (UDT) soldier who joins Korea’s first manned spacecraft as the youngest member. But when an unexpected solar wind strikes the spacecraft and kills Hwang Sun Woo’s companions, he gets stranded in space over 384,000 kilometers away from Earth.
The newly released stills capture Hwang Sun Woo taking his first step on the moon and entering the unknown space where a grand sense of both awe and loneliness reside as he conducts an exploration mission.
Regarding his role, D.O. shared, “The filming set was magnificent to the point you could mistakenly think that you were actually on the moon. The moon was realistically portrayed, so there was no difficulty in immersing in the acting.”
Sol Kyung Gu, who plays former space center director Jae Guk and the man on Earth who embarks on a rescue mission to save Sun Woo when he gets stranded on the moon, remarked, “If you watch on the big screen, you will indirectly experiencing space, running on the surface of the moon, flying, and swimming inside the spacecraft.”
“The Moon” will premiere in theaters on August 2.
