Popular comedian Lee Chang-ho will appear in the film ‘Soju Wars’ starring Lee Je-hoon and Yoo Hae-jin.

‘Soju War’, which opens on the 30th, depicts the story of IMF rok, a financial director whose soju company is his life, and In-beom, an employee of a global investment company who only pursues results, facing off against each other for the fate of the Korean people’s soju during the 1997 IMF foreign exchange crisis.

Lee Ho-chang, who led the ‘sub-character craze’ with musical genius ‘Juryola’ Lee Ho-kwang, Hansarang Mountaineering Club Vice President Lee Taek-jo, Kim Gap-saeng Grandmother Kim Future Strategy Office Strategy Headquarters Director Lee Ho-chang, and visual idol Mad Monster’s Jay-ho, has joined ‘Soju War’ and is expected to deliver unexpected laughter.

In the drama, Lee Chang-ho plays the role of a researcher at Gukbo Soju and goes on a journey to find new flavors while developing new products with Pyo Jong-rok(Yoo Hae-jin).He is the character who holds the key to the ‘soft and fresh’ flavor that Top Soju pursues.

Lee Chang-ho said, “We had the first and last glass of ‘Soju War’ together.During the filming period, countless events and stories seemed to be contained in the glass.I tasted not a glass but a drop, but it was as strong as drinking a whole bottle.And it was a time when I got pleasantly drunk.”
