Actor Park Jin-young has expressed his interest in the comedy genre.

The movie ‘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.

Park Jin-young took on the role of the main villain Young-chun, playing two roles with actor Shin Goo.Young-chun is a cult leader with the supernatural power to become younger.To borrow Park Jin-young’s words, he is a character who is full of greed.Through Young-chun, he showed a completely different side from his previous upright image.

In an interview commemorating the release of ‘High Five,’ Park Jin-young answered the question, “Is there an image you want to pursue?” by saying, “The genre I want to try is comedy,” and” ‘High Five’ is a comedy action film, but I was the only one who was serious in the film.I want to try comedy like the actors I starred with.I previously did(a comedy)in the beginning of the Channel A drama ‘The Witch’ (2025), but I want to try a film that is a comedy in and of itself.”

“I was really lonely while filming.After watching the finished film, I thought, ‘It was really fun and harmonious’ and ‘I was the only one who got hit and was lonely.’(Laughs)But it was an honor to be able to meet my senior actors, even if it was only for a few times.”

‘ High Five ‘is a work that will be released four years after filming.The relationship formed in’ High Five ‘previously led to a cameo appearance in Netflix’s ‘Chicken Gangjeong’ (2024).At the time, ‘Chicken Gangjeong’ director Lee Byung-hun said in an interview that he cast Park Jin-young after hearing the story from ‘High Five’ director Kang Hyung-chul.

Park Jin-young then made everyone laugh by saying, “Director Lee Byung-hun came to the after-party for the ‘High Five’ premiere, so I asked him, ‘Have you seen the movie?’ but he just said, ‘No.’ I still don’t know what he saw in me that made him cast me in ‘Chicken Gangjeong.’”

He continued, “The commonality between the two works is that they are characters who look down on their senior actors,” and “I also met actor Jung Seung-gil, who played my younger brother in ‘Chicken Gangjeong,’ again on the tvN drama ‘Unknown Seoul,’ which is currently airing.We met on the set of the drama, and he still calls me ‘hyung.’” He also revealed his awkward situation.

He also expressed his gratitude for the fact that he is set as a ‘good-looking’ character for each character he plays.In ‘High Five’, he is a villain, but he is given lines like ‘a handsome man ‘and’ if you are good-looking, you are my brother ‘.

Regarding this, he whined, “Coincidentally, the character setting is like that in the script.I also ask them not to remove(the setting)after casting.”

In addition, when he received a compliment saying, “You look younger after being discharged from the military,” he said, “It’s not my own words, but people say you look younger.I already had wrinkles under my eyes, but they don’t anymore.I apply eye cream every morning and evening.And I use one pack a day for home care.It’s highly moisturizing!” and shared his skin care secrets while feeling embarrassed.

‘High Five’, which will allow you to see Park Jin-young’s unexpected charm, will be released on May 30th.
