On the 9th, Kingnet released a promotional video for its new MMORPG, 'Yulgang: Next' (hereinafter 'Yulgang Next'), featuring actor Yoo Hae-jin and film director Jang Hang-jun.

The video, under the slogan 'Into a New World of Kangho, the Evolution of K-Wuxia,' highlights how the game continues the legacy of the original 'Yulgang' while offering upgraded gameplay. It uses a production presentation as a motif, with the two figures discussing the new title, before employing a plot twist in the final act to reveal that the true protagonist is 'Yulgang Next' itself. The video maximizes engagement through dynamic handheld camera work, diverse angles, and trendy editing techniques.

In the latter part of the video, actual in-game footage is revealed, naturally showcasing the core content of 'Yulgang Next.' By seamlessly integrating gameplay elements such as unique cartoon-rendering graphics, eye-catching martial arts effects, and a sophisticated strategic combat system, the video highlights the game's distinctiveness.

The video draws attention by featuring both actor Yoo Hae-jin and director Jang Hang-jun, two leading figures in the Korean film industry. Reuniting after the film 'The King and the Clown,' the pair showcase their signature witty chemistry, humorously portraying both the original Wuxia sensibility and the next-generation vision of 'Yulgang Next.'

"A Kingnet representative stated, "This promotional video was designed to convey the direction of the new K-Wuxia that 'Yulgang Next' aims for, as well as the game's core appeal, in a more familiar and impressive way," adding, "We plan to continue communicating with users by releasing various content sequentially until the official launch.""

'Yulgang Next' is currently accepting pre-registrations on its official website, and detailed in-game information can be found on the official Naver community.
