Directed by Ha Jung-woo, ‘Lobby’ has released a team competition trailer that combines the lively humor and the actors‘ lively dialogue.

‘Lobby’, which will be released on April 2, is a black comedy that tells the story of startup CEO Chang-wook (Ha Jung-woo), who knows nothing but research, starting his first lobby golf game in his life to win a 4 trillion won national project.

The team competition trailer that was released on the 19th ahead of the release catches the eye by starting with startup CEO Chang-wook’s (Ha Jung-woo) line, “Let‘s lobby. Lobby” along with the appearance of wads of money and luxury watches. Next, Chang-wook’s assistant, Director Kim (Kwak Sun-young), introduces the political power broker Choi Sil-jang (Kim Eui-sung) and the corrupt minister Cho Kwan-jang (Kang Mal-geum), who have the decision-making authority on the business that Chang-wook is trying to secure, and informs them that the main place for the deal is a golf course, foreshadowing that Chang-woo, who was a complete novice in golf, will step into the world of lobbying golf, raising expectations.

The trailer, which begins with the full-fledged appearance of Gwang-woo (Park Byung-eun), the head of Chang-woo‘s rival company who is good at lobbying, and highlights the lobbying showdown between the rookie lobbying team formed by Chang-woo and the veteran lobbying team led by Gwang-woo at the same golf course, raises curiosity about what kind of situation and outcome they will create. First, the members of the lobby team formed by Chang-wook, professional golfer Jin-Pro (Kang Hae-rim), who is in a slump, and lobbyist reporter Park Ki-ja (Lee Dong-hwi), arouse curiosity about what kind of help they will provide to Chang-wook.

In addition, the suspicious atmosphere between national actor Ma Tae-soo (Choi Si-won), a member of the veteran lobby team led by Gwang-woo, and the wife of the golf course owner, Da-mi (Cha Joo-young), and the fiery personality of the golf course owner (Park Hae-soo) are expected to provide unique fun along with an inexplicable tension. The team competition trailer, which properly captures the actors’ tiki-taka acting that brings unique lines with a sense of rhythm, is expected to capture the hearts of the audience as it heralds the joy and unique story that has never been seen before.
