SEOUL, August 20 (AJP) - The cast and crew of “Twelve,” a new action-hero series produced in part by the actor Ma Dong-seok, gathered for a news conference Wednesday in Seoul.

The event, held at the Ambassador Seoul Pullman Hotel, was attended by Ma, along with co-stars Park Hyung-sik, Seo In-guk, Lee Joo-been, Kang Mi-na, Sung Yu-been, Ahn Ji-hye, and Regina Lei. The show's directors, Kang Dae-kyu and Han Yun-seon, were also present.

Inspired by the Eastern zodiac’s twelve guardian animals, “Twelve” follows a group of angels living as humans who fight to protect humanity from forces of evil. The series marks Ma’s return to the fantasy hero genre, a move that has generated significant anticipation following his starring role in Marvel Studios’ “Eternals.”

“Twelve” is scheduled to premiere on KBS 2TV on Saturday, Aug. 23, at 9:20 p.m.
