Disney+ has unveiled a striking new set of promotional stills from its global original series Tempest , featuring Jun Ji‑hyun in the role of Seo Mun‑joo — a poised and powerful United Nations ambassador thrust into political intrigue.
In the vehicle of diplomacy and intrigue, Tempest follows Mun‑joo as she begins investigating a failed assassination attempt on a presidential candidate. Joining forces with secret-agent San‑ho (played by Kang Dong‑won), she finds herself at the center of a conspiracy that could destabilize the Korean Peninsula.
The images capture Mun‑joo in two contrasting lights: delivering a confident speech before the UN, and powering through a dawn run with an athletic sprint that looks more like a magazine shoot than an everyday workout. These visuals offer fans a glimpse of the character’s regimen and resolve — a cerebral diplomat with the strength and discipline to match.
Jun Ji‑hyun, the celebrated star of Assassination , The Berlin File , The Thieves , and Kingdom: Ashin of the North , continues to raise the bar with every role. She described her character as: “Quiet yet firm and strong. A role that challenged me deeply and drew me in.”
Writer Jung Seo‑kyung added, “From the very beginning, Mun‑joo was Jun Ji‑hyun. Her ability to embody nuanced meaning beyond words made her perfect for this role.”
Set to be one of 2025’s most anticipated dramas, Tempest promises global-scale storytelling anchored by Jun’s commanding performance and a top-tier production team.
The first three episodes will premiere exclusively on Disney+ on September 10 , with two new episodes released weekly thereafter, completing the nine-episode series.
