Ordinary people who receive organ transplants develop superpowers? This imagination is realized through the movie ‘High Five’.The actors who give the audience trust join the cast, raising curiosity about what kind of synergy their chemistry will create.
In addition, actor Yoo Ah-in, who has been on hiatus due to a drug controversy, will meet the audience in the movie ‘High Five’ without any editing, following the movie ‘Match’.
On the morning of the 12th, a production conference for the movie ‘High Five’ was held at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University Entrance in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul.Actors Lee Jae-in, Ahn Jae-hong, Ra Mi-ran, Kim Hee-won, Oh Jung-se, Park Jin-young, and director Kang Hyung-chul attended the conference.
On this day, when asked about the reason he took on the role of director for ‘High Five’, Director Kang Hyung-chul answered, “I was given the opportunity to make several movies, and I was lucky enough to become a movie director.This time, I wanted to make a fun movie.Among the fun movies, there are movies of various genres, but I always wanted to make movies that are comfortable and fun to watch.This time, I got a good opportunity, so I really wanted to make it.”
Regarding the reason for appearing in ‘High Five’, Ra Mi Ran said, “Of course I had expectations and trust in the director, but my role was more important.He said that it was a pretty role, but if I wasn’t pretty, I could become pretty even if I had to use my superpowers.I thought it was the last in my life and gladly did it.” Director Kang Hyung Chul said, “I really wanted to do it.I coaxed her hard, saying that it was a role of a beauty that would remind me of my first love.It was my first time working with actress Ra Mi Ran, and it was touching.The director should be working on set, but he made the director into an audience member.He was a bad actor who made me enjoy watching his acting.”
Ahn Jae-hong said about his reunion with Ra Mi-ran, with whom he acted as mother and son in ‘Reply 1988’, “I’ve always dreamed of reuniting with senior Mi-ran.I’ve been waiting for this moment.Even looking at the photos, I think we look good together.And this time, I was so happy, excited, and reassured to be working with senior Mi-ran in the same work and scene.”
Here, Rami Ran said, “I forgot about it right after ‘Reply’ ended.I still call her ‘mother.’ Since you never know when or what kind of work you’ll do or how you’ll meet an actor, it feels more like we’re the same age rather than like siblings.Also, I’m single and unmarried here, so I hope you’ll see me that way,” drawing attention.
When asked about the genre characteristics of “High Five,” Director Kang Hyung-chul said, “This time, it’s a comedy, and we brought in the unrealistic subject of superpowers, but because of that, we wanted to ground it in reality with more realistic people and situations.We wanted to create a story that focuses on the parts of the story that occur when characters who are grounded in reality, like the Yakult lady and the daughter of a taekwondo gym, gain superpowers.”
In response to the same question, Ahn Jae-hong explained, “All the characters in ‘High Five’ have distinct personalities.They are all different.I thought that when characters from different worlds came together on the same screen, comedy was created naturally.I think that the comedy that comes from telling different stories will be able to provide pleasant and powerful fun.”
Director Kang Hyung-chul said, “It’s unfortunate.It would have been better if it hadn’t happened, but at the time, the movie wasn’t finished.We were busy with post-production.I remember hearing a story when I was young that said, ‘When something big happens, a competent leader should solve it first.’ At that time, as the person in charge, I had a strong determination to complete the movie and the actors.I think you can think of it as something I barely touched in terms of editing.”
Meanwhile, ‘High Five’ is a comic action film that depicts the story of five people who accidentally gain different superpowers through organ transplants and meet those who covet their powers.It will be released on the 30th.
