In April, the film 'Lobby' (directed by Ha Jung-woo, produced by Workhouse Company and Film Momentum, provided by Michigan Venture Capital Co. and WYSIWYG STUDIOS Co., distributed by SHOWBOX), which will showcase the exciting world of lobbying with cheerful laughter, is generating anticipation for the performance of rising new star Kang Hae-rim, who plays the role of pro golfer Jin Pro.
Rising new actress Kang Hae-rim is set to showcase remarkable acting that is not typical for a newcomer as she takes on the role of pro golfer Jin Pro in the film 'Lobby,' which tells the story of startup representative Chang-wook (Ha Jung-woo), who knows nothing but research and begins his first lobbying golf to secure a national project worth 4 trillion won.
Kang Hae-rim debuted in the web drama 'Idol Authority' and honed her acting skills by appearing as a reenactment actor in KBS entertainment show 'Love's Intervention,' gradually gaining recognition from the public. She was later cast in Netflix drama 'Somebody,' through the keen eye of director Jung Ji-woo, who discovered actress Kim Go-eun, winning a remarkable 600:1 competition for the role of developer 'Kim Seom,' who struggles to understand others' emotions, leaving a significant impression on many viewers. Director Jung Ji-woo, who discovered the gem that is Kang Hae-rim, noted, "Kang Hae-rim is a person with a slow heart, which can lead to misunderstandings. When making eye contact, it’s hard to look away first," praising her charm as a person and an actress, further amplifying curiosity.
Having previously portrayed a genius developer, her first screen debut will be as pro golfer Jin Pro, who is in a slump. Considering the character of a pro golfer from the start, director Ha Jung-woo intended to cast a newcomer to achieve a sense akin to an actual player, expressing, "Jin Pro is alone in the role of a pro golfer among the other actors, so I thought it would be related to freshness. Therefore, I hoped it would be someone unfamiliar." Recognized for her fresh yet solid acting skills, Kang Hae-rim fervently practiced golf for over five hours a day to embody the pro golfer role, promising to showcase both freshness and stability in her performance. Additionally, Kang Hae-rim will share the screen with distinguished seniors in the 'New Lobby Team,' including Ha Jung-woo, Kim Eui-sung, and Lee Dong-hwi, unleashing the charm of her character and leaving a deep impression on the audience.
The film 'Lobby,' which is anticipated for the passionate performance of new actress Kang Hae-rim showcasing her new acting transformation, is scheduled to be released nationwide on April 2 (Wed).
