SBS’s new Friday-Saturday drama Queen Mantis will premiere on September 5. It is a crime thriller starring Go Hyun-jung as Jung Yi-shin, a famous serial killer nicknamed “The Mantis” who brutally murdered five men 20 years ago and has been imprisoned ever since. When a new serial killer emerges, copying The Mantis’s distinctive style, the police approach Jung Yi-shin for her assistance in solving the case.
Go Hyun-jung plays Jung Yi-shin, a death row inmate convicted of brutal serial murders. Previously released still cuts showed her pale face and icy gaze from behind prison bars, sparking intrigue. In newly revealed images, she appears outside prison for the first time—dressed in casual clothes and sitting alone in a mysterious space.
Through the bars, her expression alternates between vacant stares out the window and sharp, flickering looks that seem to conceal dangerous secrets, heightening curiosity about what drove her to kill and the events yet to unfold.
The production team stated, “Jung Yi-shin is a prisoner caught for serial killings over 20 years ago. However, Go Hyun-jung will not present a stereotypical portrayal confined to a typical space. She will move with complexity within a tense, calculated narrative, delivering a powerful performance that brings depth to the character.”
Packed with suspense, unexpected twists and intense emotional stakes, Queen Mantis will air its first episode on September 5 at 9:50 PM.
