Overview

Global superstar Kim Jae-joong makes a chilling return to the big screen in the shamanistic horror film Shrine: Devil’s Whisper (Japanese title: Jinja: Akuma no Sasayaki). Directed by the acclaimed Kazuyoshi Kumakiri, the film follows Myung-jin, a South Korean shaman (mudang) who travels to an abandoned shrine in the mountains of Kobe, Japan. Investigating a series of mysterious disappearances that mirror his own haunted past, Myung-jin must use his spiritual powers to confront an ancient evil presence that has been awakened by a forbidden prayer.

This special release stage greeting offers fans a rare opportunity to see Kim Jae-joong in person alongside veteran actress Kino Hana and Director Kumakiri. As Jae-joong’s first venture into the horror genre, the film explores dark psychological themes and the terrifying reality of spiritual possession. The events are split between “pre-screening” and “post-screening” greetings, providing unique insights into the challenging filming process and the collaborative effort between the Korean and Japanese cast and crew.

Faqs

What is the difference between the “Premium Reserved” and “Assigned Seating” tickets?

Premium Reserved tickets specifically highlight the appearances of Kim Jae-joong and the director, often located in central or forward viewing areas. Regular assigned seating still provides a guaranteed seat for both the film and the greeting session.

Are the “Official Photo Card Gifts” available for all February 11th screenings?

The Official Photo Card Gift is specifically listed for the February 6th opening event. For the February 11th holiday sessions, please check at the theater entrance, as bonuses for stage greetings are often limited to specific time slots.

Is the movie Shrine: Devil’s Whisper suitable for all ages?

The film is strictly rated R15+ in Japan, meaning it is only for viewers aged 15 and older. Due to the shamanistic horror themes and intense scenes, children under the age of 15 will not be admitted to the theater.

What happens during a “Pre-screening” vs a “Post-screening” stage greeting?

Pre-screening greetings allow the cast to welcome the audience before the lights go down, while post-screening greetings involve deeper discussions about the film’s ending and specific scenes that occurred during the 96-minute runtime.

How do I reach Shinjuku Wald 9 for the early morning sessions?

Shinjuku Wald 9 is located in the Shinjuku Marui Annex. For the 10:00 AM session, it is best to use the Shinjuku-sanchome Station (Lines M, S, F) which has a direct underground connection to the building complex.
