First video trailer for Twelve

Twelve promises to be a dark and intriguing K-drama, where humanity faces an unexpected threat: an evil being who promises to turn the world into hell and... humans into living musical instruments.

At the heart of this chaos is a mysterious organization called Angel Capital enters the scene to find a key (or "chosen one") to counteract this madness. Despite their ordinary appearance, the protagonists discover a crucial role for themselves: they exist to protect the human world, even if it means confronting these monstrous "instruments".
