Singer Jo Kwan-woo has transformed into a ‘fool for his son’.

He will be playing the role of Tae-won, a father who loves his son deeply, in the movie ‘Se-ha-byeol’, which will be released in June, and will be showing off his fatherly love.

The film is a family drama about the journey of Tae-won(Jo Kwan-woo)and his son Chil-seong(Jang Yoon-seo), who lost his dreams in an accident, to find ordinary happiness.

It is also gathering attention as it is Jo Kwan-woo’s first screen debut, who created many famous songs such as ‘Swamp’, ‘In the Flower Garden’, and ‘Winter Story’.

The poster released on the 22nd ahead of the opening captures the happy moment of Tae-won, who dotes on his son, and Chil-seong, who dreams of his father, looking up at the twinkling stars in the sky together with a warm illustration, capturing the attention of viewers.

Next, it raises curiosity about what kind of dreams the father and son, who are like ‘the one and only stars in the world’ to each other, will draw while looking at the stars in the sky, and the copy, “Would you like to go on a journey together to find ordinary happiness?” heralds the birth of a warm family film that will take over theaters in June.

The illustration on the main poster is by illustrator Ham Ju-hae, who has worked on various movie posters and publication illustrations, adding to its specialness.
