Trailer released for psychological mystery series 'Badge War 4' featuring 24 members of tripleS

The outlines of a massive survival content featuring the group tripleS have been revealed. The main trailer for 'Badge War 4: Trust No One,' a psychological推理 survival show featuring 24 members, has been released, signaling its official launch.

This season adopts a Mafia game format, where agents of an international crime investigation unit must identify four spies hidden among them. The core tension lies in the confrontation between the spies, who aim to shatter the trust among agents, and the agents themselves, who strive to root them out. Moving beyond a simple game, the show takes on the character of a psychological thriller where loyalty and betrayal intersect.

An overwhelming scale of 24 participants combined with psychological warfare

The production stands out for maximizing the large-scale group system that is a hallmark of tripleS. With 24 members participating simultaneously, this survival show creates an overwhelming sense of tension due to its sheer scale. Given the large number of participants, the information imbalance during the process of identifying spies and the shifting relationships among members are expected to heighten the show's immersion.

The trailer hints that the survival process will be far from smooth, using keywords such as wounds, hardship, and tears. The psychological pressure and the fracturing of relationships the members will face are expected to create a dramatic narrative that goes beyond mere entertainment. As the subtitle 'Trust No One' suggests, the extreme setting where no one can be trusted is the key highlight of this season.

Produced as a 1theK Original, this content aims for a structure distinct from conventional idol variety shows.

The variables created by the 24 members performing different roles are expected to determine the quality of the content. 'Badge War 4' is scheduled to be released on August 21, 2026, at 8:00 PM.
