Actors Ra Mi-ran, Kim Hee-won, and Park Jin-young have transformed into people with special superpowers who go back and forth between ‘ordinary’ and ‘extraordinary’.This is through the comic action film ‘High Five’, which opens on the 30th.’High Five’ tells the story of people who gain unexpected superpowers after receiving different organs from a mysterious organ donor.

Even though filming was completed in 2021, due to the aftermath of COVID-19 and the unfortunate incident involving one of the lead actors, Yoo Ah-in, this film is finally being released in theaters after 4 years, so those who met the film two days before its release could not hide their excitement.They all said, “We are confident that this ‘fun’ film will be worth the wait.”

O “I don’t like the hero genre, but…”

Ramiran plays a fairy who, after receiving a kidney transplant, tries to find her hidden superpowers with other recipients.Unlike other characters who show off incredible strength or speed from the beginning, she doesn’t show off any flashy abilities, but she said, “It wouldn’t have been fun if all the characters showed off cool action,” and expressed her desire for a sequel, saying, “If there’s a sequel, it might be different, right?”

“I think our movie is a work that opens up a kind of worldview.It’s fun in itself, but it’s a work that makes you even more curious about the story that unfolds later.Of course, if this work does well, there will be a sequel, haha!”

Although she became the main character in a hero movie, Ramiran confessed that she “doesn’t actually like the hero genre.”

“I don’t really watch foreign superhero movies where they fly around in tight suits.They’re too unrealistic.Nevertheless, our movie is in the hero genre, but the main characters aren’t super-powered people, but rather ordinary people who happen to have powers, so I liked it.If I have to wear tight suits in the second movie, well, I’ll have to think about it.(Laughs)”

O “Son Kim Geun-woo’s broadcast activities? It’s separate from me”

In fact, director Kang Hyung-chul’s sweet suggestion was a big reason why she chose this work.Ra Mi-ran laughed and said, “I was tempted when the director said it was a beautiful role that reminded me of my first love.”

“When will I ever get to play the role of ‘Miss’ ? I was so excited and I felt like this was my last chance to play the character of ‘Miss’.I took great care to look pretty.I wore contact lenses and had my makeup done for almost an hour, like a bride.”

In the interview, Ramiran also talked about her son, national cyclist Kim Geun-woo, who recently left JTBC soccer entertainment show ‘Let’s Eat Dinner Together 4 ‘.She said’ coolly ‘, “My son’s and my broadcasting activities are separate,” and “We each do our own thing.”

“I didn’t even know my son was going to be on ‘Let’s Eat Dinner Together.’He told me after he decided to appear.When I recently asked him,’ When are you going to film again? ‘, he said he had gotten off.He said he had an injury and wanted to focus on his main job.My son and I don’ t touch each other’s business at all.However, after filming ‘Let’s Eat Dinner Together, ‘my son said,’ Mom, how did you do this difficult show?’”
