Park Gyu Young’s upcoming Netflix series “Celebrity” has shared new teasers!
“Celebrity” is an upcoming Netflix series that depicts the true reality of the glamorous and competitive lives of celebrities encountered by Seo Ah Ri, who leaps into a world where fame brings riches and experiences a whirlwind of events. The drama will star Park Gyu Young as Seo Ah Ri along with CNBLUE's Kang Min Hyuk, Lee Chung Ah, Lee Dong Gun, and Jun Hyosung.
The latest poster for “Celebrity” shows just how deeply Seo Ah Ri's life is intertwined with social media. Although fabulous at first glance, the small details of the poster show that the enviable life of an influencer is not always exactly what it seems. Splatters of blood cover the face, neck, and bag behind Seo Ah Ri, aligning with the poster's caption: “The killer who killed me is my follower.” On Seo Ah Ri's Instagram Live, comments ask, “Are you Seo Ah Ri?” “Didn't she die?” “I got goosebumps, is this real?”
The new teaser for the drama captures Seo Ah Ri's journey from ordinary person to celebrity and what exactly life as an influencer entails for him. As Seo Ah Ri steps into the spotlight, the narrator comments, “Get famous. Then the world will go crazy even if you poop." They add: "A world where anyone can make money if he becomes famous." Someone else chimes in: "The deal [for influencers] is better than your average celebrity."
Other personalities in Seo Ah Ri's chaotic world of influencers include third-generation chaebol Han Joon Kyung (CNBLUE's Kang Min Hyuk), who has a particular interest in Seo Ah Ri, Yoon Shi Hyun (Lee Chung Ah), who neither He doesn't even have social media but is envied by many, Yoon Shi Hyun's husband Jin Tae Jeon (Lee Dong Gun), a representative of a large law firm, and social media star Oh Min Hye (Jun Hyosung), former Seo Ah Ri's friend who has her own brand.
To the dismay and confusion of all these characters, Seo Ah Ri goes on an Instagram live broadcast to reveal how he became a celebrity and the truth behind the world of influencers. However, the confusion also extends to the viewers, who were under the impression that Seo Ah Ri had died.
As the truth slowly begins to unravel, someone casually says, “You are familiar with this world. Doubting is necessary and believing is a choice.”
The clip hilariously ends with a group of influencers flashing bright smiles for a group photo, then immediately parting ways without saying a word.
