After press previews and the first screening, the film 'Lobby', which has received explosive reviews such as "a laugh bomb movie that you can trust and watch" and "unexpected and bubbly fun," is rapidly rising as the hottest topic this spring.
The film 'Lobby' (directed by Ha Jung-woo, produced by Workhouse Company and Film Momentum, provided by Michigan Venture Capital Co., Ltd. and WYSIWYG STUDIOS, distributed by SHOWBOX) depicts the story of a startup CEO, Chang-wook (Ha Jung-woo), who knows nothing but research, embarking on his first lobbying golf to secure a $4 trillion national project.
The film 'Lobby' premiered on March 25th (Tuesday) through screenings, presenting its first look to the domestic media and the audiences eagerly awaiting the film. Led by director and actor Ha Jung-woo, the fantastic chemistry among popular actors Kim Eui-sung, Lee Dong-hwi, Park Byeong-eun, Kang Mal-geum, Choi Si-won, Cha Joo-young, Park Hae-soo, and Kwak Sun-young, alongside the witty dialogue and unpredictable development, contributed to the film soaring as the top topic in theaters this spring. Riding on this momentum, popular comedian Lee Su-ji also lent a hand in promoting 'Lobby'.
'Lobby' held a sympathy counseling session at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall Theater 15 on March 25th (Tuesday), with comedian Lee Su-ji serving as the empathy counselor and actors Kang Hae-rim, Lee Dong-hwi, Park Byeong-eun, Choi Si-won, and Cha Joo-young in attendance. The event achieved an astounding record of selling out immediately after ticket sales opened, and concluded with a warm response.
First, Lee Su-ji shared her thoughts on the film 'Lobby,' stating, "It felt like I was drawn into the actors' immersion. I felt like I was rolling around the golf course as well," and admired the fantastic chemistry among the popular actors. She then held a session to listen to the audience's stories about their unavoidable need to lobby, along with the 'Lobby' team, including Kang Hae-rim, Lee Dong-hwi, Park Byeong-eun, Choi Si-won, and Cha Joo-young, actively demonstrating the 'F' trait of MBTI, letting the audience share their experiences and even inviting some onto the stage for hugs, gifting them an unforgettable time.
In addition, numerous questions about the film 'Lobby' were raised. The actors answered the audience's unexpected inquiries sincerely, discussing behind-the-scenes stories of the unique characters, and explaining why the shoot turned into a laughter-filled environment. Despite the absence of director and actor Ha Jung-woo, the audience remained until late, reflecting the warm response. The successful conclusion of the sympathy counseling session for the film 'Lobby' will continue to feature special promotions aimed at the audience.
The film 'Lobby', which successfully concluded the sympathy counseling session, is set to be released in theaters nationwide on April 2nd (Wednesday).
