Translation

Actor Oh Jung-se joined ‘High Five’.

‘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.

From Ted Chiang of “Extreme Jobs” who brought laughter to 16 million viewers, to Noh Kyu-tae of “When the Camellia Blooms” who captivated viewers with his devilish charm, to Moon Sang-tae of “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay” who gave a passionate performance as an illustrator with autism spectrum disorder, to Yeom Byeong-cheol of “Cheated on You” who left a strong impact despite his short screen time.Actor Oh Jung-se, who increases the immersion of the drama with his excellent acting skills and unrivaled character digestion in each work, returns as a father who loves his daughter through “High Five.”

Jong-min, a member of the national Taekwondo team at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.He is currently the manager of a small Taekwondo gym in the neighborhood struggling to make ends meet, but he calls himself a Taekwondo V dad who will do anything for his daughter Wanseo.Jong-min, who has not been able to relax even after Wanseo received a heart transplant, is increasingly worried that she might be bullied as she gets home later and later and lies more and more.

Oh Jung-se said, “I tried to make the father-daughter relationship look lovable, rather than the overprotective father,” and director Kang Hyung-chul introduced him as” ‘Jong-min’ is the person with the greatest superpower in ‘High Five’ “, foreshadowing the appearance of a so-called ‘god-man,’ an ordinary person with a presence comparable to that of a superpowered person.Lee Jae-in, who worked with him, said, “He took care of me like a real father on set.I also called him ‘dad’ and showed a lot of determination,” raising expectations for the ‘real father-daughter’ chemistry that the two will present.

Oh Jung-se’s performance, which will draw sympathy from the audience, can be seen in the movie ‘High Five’, which will be released in theaters on Friday, May 30th.
