12 April 2024 – In a world facing its end in 200 days by a catastrophic asteroid strike, how do people cope? Premiering on April 26, the Korean series Goodbye Earth paints a vivid picture of these tumultuous times, as revealed in the newly released trailer.

The once-peaceful city of Woongcheon is now turned upside down by a chilling emergency siren and news of an impending asteroid strike. With the Korean peninsula identified as a danger zone, the society descends into madness with protests, crime, and impersonating soldiers running rampant.

Amid the chaos, viewers follow three key characters: Se-kyung (Ahn Eun-jin), a middle school teacher, fights tooth and nail to protect children who have become targets of crime, facing the harsh reality that they will never get to grow up. Sung-jae (Jeon Seong-woo), a priest, offers comfort to his shaken community. Meanwhile, In-a (Kim Yoon-hye), a battalion commander, works tirelessly to maintain peace and safeguard people during these challenging times.

Goodbye Earth is based on the novel of the same name by respected Japanese author, Kotaro Isaka, known for his insightful social commentary. The series is directed by Kim Jin-min (Extracurricular, My Name) and written by Jeong Seong-joo (Secret Affair, Heard It Through the Grapevine), both recognized for their nuanced takes on social issues.
