Suzy and Kim Seon-ho Shine in First Stills for Disney+'s 'The Beholder', Set for Late 2026 Release

Disney+'s original series 'The Beholder' has finally unveiled its first look.

Stunning visuals of lead actors Suzy and Kim Seon-ho were released on the 13th, heralding the arrival of one of the most anticipated projects for the second half of 2026.

In the released stills, Suzy perfectly embodies the character of Song Jeong-hwa from the original webtoon, capturing her distinctive hairstyle and mysterious aura. Her short black bob, pale complexion, and deep, unreadable blue eyes heighten curiosity about the character, the owner of the Nammoon Hotel who has remained hidden from the world for half a century.

Her gaze, fixed directly ahead from within the shadows, hints at secrets concealed behind her captivating beauty. Fans are already buzzing, with comments like "She walked right out of the webtoon" and "A mesmerizing visual that surpasses 200% sync rate."

Her co-star, Kim Seon-ho, portraying the artist Yoon Yi-ho, is equally captivating. Kim Seon-ho in the process of painting showcases the passion of an artist engrossed in his work, while simultaneously hinting at the complex emotions of a man increasingly drawn to the enigmatic Song Jeong-hwa.

The portrait of Song Jeong-hwa on the canvas further foreshadows another layer of mystery. Expectations are high for Kim Seon-ho to meticulously portray Yi-ho's subtle emotions as he encounters the mysterious woman and develops a strong desire for true artistry.

The explosive chemistry anticipated between Suzy and Kim Seon-ho, reuniting four years after their roles in 'Start-Up', is another major reason to eagerly await 'The Beholder'.

Set in 1935 Gyeongseong, 'The Beholder' is a mystery romance that unfolds as painter Yi-ho, commissioned to paint the portrait of the alluring Song Jeong-hwa, delves deeper into her mysterious secrets.

Director Han Jae-rim, known for blockbuster hits like 'The Face Reader', 'The King', and 'Emergency Declaration', is directing and writing the series, adding to the anticipation. Reported to be an 8-episode drama with a massive production budget of approximately 45 billion KRW, expectations are soaring.

Currently in full production, 'The Beholder' is slated for an exclusive global release on Disney+ in the latter half of 2026.

Netizens are expressing awe at Suzy's visual resemblance to the webtoon character, with comments like "The real Song Jeong-hwa has appeared" and "I can't wait." There is also significant anticipation for the chemistry between Suzy and Kim Seon-ho.
