BTOB's Yook Sungjae and WJSN's Bona are currently gearing up for the 2025 premiere of their upcoming drama The Haunted Palace. Ahead of the highly anticipated release, the first look has been unveiled, raising anticipation for their chemistry and individual performances.

On December 21, at the 2024 SBS Drama Awards, the channel unveiled a bunch of teasers for their upcoming dramas. Among them was The Haunted Palace, a fantasy rom-com set in the backdrop of the Joseon dynasty. 

The teaser unearthed Yook Sungjae embodying Yoon Gap and Bona as Yeo Ri. They are each other's first love. As they reunite after a long time, they decide to walk their paths together. There's one more person who joins them: Kim Young Kwang as Gang Cheol Yi, an imugi who holds grudges against the king. However, only Yeo Ri, who is a shaman, can see him. 

The teaser then reveals the malevolent spirit taking over Yoon Gap's body to execute his revenge on the royal family in Hanyang. With this, Yoon Gap's behavior changes completely, endangering his relationship with Yeo Ri. When she finally realizes what exactly happened, she decides to help him get rid of the imugi inside. 

On the other hand, Kim Ji Hoon, who portrays King Yi Sung, gets ready to battle the evil spirit that has been targeting him. What he doesn't know is that the imugi has returned to his original 8-foot-tall body.
