Deadly Epidemic Sweeps Korea In THE FLU Teaser

The proverbial shit will hit the fan this summer in the medical thriller disaster The Flu from Kim Sung-soo, the director of Musa the Warrior.  Jang Hyuk and Su Ae as part of the relief effort must prevent any more infected dead bodies from piling up and already, the amount of fatalities shown in the teaser trailer is staggering.

The worst epidemic ever seen is sweeping through Bundang, the suburb of Seoul.

After smuggling illegal immigrants into the country, Byung-woo dies from an unknown virus. Soon after that, the same symptoms are plaguing scores of residents in Bundang. People are helpless against the airborne disease and the number of infected increases quickly, spreading chaos. As the worst-case scenario precaution, the city of half a million people, just 19 kilometers from Seoul, is about to be sealed off. The government orders a complete shutdown. Meanwhile, infectious disease specialist In-hye and rescue worker Ji-goo go into the closed city to find the blood serum of the index case, a crucial part of developing the vaccine.

The theatrical release date in Korea is around August.  You'll find the teaser embedded below.
