Stage greeting to celebrate the release of “Shrine: Devil’s Whisper” 2026 in Japan Ticket

Overview

The occult horror film “Shrine: Devil’s Whisper” (Jinja: Akuma no Sasayaki) is a highly anticipated supernatural thriller directed by the acclaimed Kazuyoshi Kumakiri. The story follows Myeong-jin, a Korean shaman or “mudang,” played by the global superstar JAEJOONG, who travels to Kobe, Japan, to investigate a series of mysterious disappearances at an abandoned shrine. As college students participating in a cultural exchange vanish one by one, Myeong-jin must confront a dark, ancient evil that awakens when prayers are twisted into curses.

The film serves as a major cinematic return for JAEJOONG, who also wrote and performed the haunting theme song “Burn.” Produced as a South Korean-Japanese collaboration, the movie has garnered significant attention for its authentic portrayal of shamanistic rituals and its chilling atmosphere. These special stage greeting events at Shinjuku Wald 9 offer fans a rare chance to see the lead cast and director in person as they celebrate the film’s nationwide release, sharing behind-the-scenes insights into the production and their experiences filming this forbidden horror tale.
