What Trigger Is All About
The high-stakes action-thriller “Trigger,” is set in a fictional South Korea where an unexpected influx of illegal firearms shocks a society that is based on strict gun control laws. The story follows two opposing characters—Lee Do plays by Kim Nam Gil, a former military sniper, and Moon Baek starred by Kim Young Kwang, a prominent figure in the underground arms broker world.
Trigger explores important moral and societal issues as gun violence increases, such as how regular people would respond if they were given a gun. When fear takes hold, what decisions constitute justice? Fundamentally, Trigger is about empathy, accountability, and the psychological effects of having too much power.
Where to Watch Trigger
Trigger officially premiered on July 25, 2025, with all 10 fast-paced episodes being released simultaneously. You can catch it exclusively on Netflix Korea with subtitles, of course!). So yes—you can totally watch it guilt-free.
