Alright, gamers! If you’ve been keeping an eye on NEXON’s latest moves, here is the scoop: the highly anticipated MapleStory theatrical anime, DEAR MY HERO, officially hit screens across South Korea on the 14th.
So, what is the story? This 32-minute animated feature drops you right into the boots of Aiden, a brand-new recruit joining the elite Signus Knights. You will follow his journey as he chases his hero dreams, clashes head-on with a terrifying Legion Commander, and pushes past his own breaking point on a brutal battlefield. It is a raw, gritty ride that ends with him finally carving out his own unique path. Just a heads-up: the rating is set for viewers aged 12 and up.
Before the premiere even dropped, NEXON teased fans with a slick MV trailer for the official soundtrack, We Are the Light, featuring singer Kangnam. They cleverly wove key animation moments straight into the lyrical storyline, and honestly? It already got everyone buzzing for the big screen.
And if you thought the movie was the main event, think again. Starting July 12, CinePark at Lotte Cinema World Tower (7th floor in Seoul) is transforming into a full-blown Grandis universe experience. Prepare yourself for massive statues of Jellal Dumar, the Overlord of Grandis, standing proudly alongside the legendary Eight Apostles. Plus, they are rolling out an official pop-up shop packed with collector-grade goodies: adventurer action figures, Knight cloaks, limited postcard books, acrylic standees with stunning depth-effect Apostle designs, and even plush mini-pillow keychains. Seriously, do not sleep on this one if you are a true fan!
