The movie 'Lobby,' which showcases a fantastical acting ensemble created by the most innovative entertainers and trending actors of 2025 (directed by Ha Jung-woo, produced by Workhouse Company and Film Momentum, provided by Michigan Venture Capital and WYSIWYG STUDIOS, distributed by SHOWBOX), will be unveiled today (25th) through a press screening. Here are the highlights of 'Lobby' that will capture the audience's hearts.
#1. The acting is insane! The delivery of lines is incredible! A crazy acting ensemble!
The fantastic tiki-taka of the actors clicks together like a cogwheel!
The first highlight to entice viewers of the film 'Lobby' depicts the story of startup representative Chang-wook (Ha Jung-woo), who knows nothing but research, beginning his first lobbying golf to secure a 4 trillion won national project. The unique, trending actors are all set to deliver insane performances.
From Ha Jung-woo to Kim Eui-sung, Kang Hae-rim, Lee Dong-hwi, Park Byeong-eun, Kang Mal-geum, Choi Si-won, Cha Joo-young, Park Hae-soo, and Kwak Sun-young. The combination of outstanding acting skills, overflowing charm, and star quality from the actors is generating anticipation among prospective audiences even before the film's release.
As Kwak Sun-young, who plays the role of Kim Eui-sung in the film, said, "The unique tiki-taka of the characters is charming," director Ha Jung-woo carefully cast actors to highlight each character's appeal. He noted, "It's a character-driven film where 10 cast members interact like cogwheels, so it was crucial for the characters to be well depicted, and their emotions precisely conveyed, rather than focusing on the composition of the scenes." Thus, the 10 actors are expected to showcase captivating performances with unique characters, making it hard to take your eyes off the screen.
#2. Ha Jung-woo's style of dialogue is insane!
Breathing life into the movie with vibrant lines!
The second highlight is the array of lines that can be considered the pinnacle of Ha Jung-woo's comedic style. 'Lobby' is a film packed with the joyful tiki-taka of lines conceived by director Ha Jung-woo, who comes from an acting background. As the film anticipates lively characters, efforts were focused on the construction of lines to ensure the audience could deeply immerse themselves in the experience. The lively dialogue created through this work revives the audience with delightful enjoyment. To refine the taste of dialogue, there were over ten times the overall rehearsals compared to other works, and the thorough preparation by the cast and crew led to the creation of a vivid and rich film that is expected to resonate well with the audience.
#3. Unique, inventive, and original director Ha Jung-woo
'Roller Coaster's' DNA, but without neglecting craftsmanship!
Audience members who have seen the trailer for the movie 'Lobby' are not forgetting to talk about the story of 'Roller Coaster,' referred to as the 'doomed masterpiece' from over a decade ago. 'Lobby' maintains the DNA of 'Roller Coaster' while putting more effort into craftsmanship, learning from the shortcomings of that time.
Director Ha Jung-woo has shared his intention, saying, "Life is something that doesn't go as planned. It's all coincidence. Within these coincidences, you can find cinematic fun." This has heightened fans' anticipation for what inventive ideas he has infused into this work. The actors who read the script also praised Ha Jung-woo's unique character and charm as a director, stating, "It's a work that flows with the DNA of 'Roller Coaster'" (Lee Dong-hwi), and "I decided to participate because it seemed rare to take on such a character after reading the 'Lobby' script" (Cha Joo-young), fueling curiosity even more.
Directed by Ha Jung-woo, the film 'Lobby,' featuring an acting ensemble of trending actors and vibrant dialogue, is expected to provide delightful enjoyment to audiences when it premieres in theaters nationwide on April 2 (Wed).
