The actor Yoo Hae-jin, who played an ambitious solo prosecutor in the crime action film "Opposition Party," will transform into Pyoh Jong-rok, a heartfelt chief financial officer dedicated to his company, in the movie "Big Deal" (distributed by SHOWBOX, produced by The Lamp), promising to take over the screen with a more enhanced Yoo Hae-jin character.
Yoo Hae-jin, who has shown the highest box office success rate in the past three years with films such as "The Tomb" in 2024, "Sweet and Sour: 7510" in 2023, and "Night Owl" and "Cooperation 2: International," is expected to continue his box office success with the 2025 film "Opposition Party" and later with "Big Deal."
The film "Opposition Party," released on April 16, portrays a crime action story in which a broker who designs drug operations, an ambitious prosecutor aiming for higher status, and a detective committed to eradicating drug crimes intertwine with different objectives. Yoo Hae-jin plays Kwon Gwan-hee, a power-hungry prosecutor who uses the drug broker "Opposition Party" to advance his career, creating a unique character that only he could portray. Audiences have been expressing various praises, stating, "Yoo Hae-jin's acting is truly divine," "It seems possible due to Yoo Hae-jin, despite the challenging role," and "The actor who anchored the film 'Opposition Party.'"
Yoo Hae-jin, who expressed the ambitious prosecutor's character in his own style, transforms into Pyoh Jong-rok, the chief financial officer of KUKBO striving to protect the national treasure soju in "Big Deal," showcasing delicate and multi-dimensional acting. Yoo Hae-jin has taken on the role of Pyoh Jong-rok, who works harder than anyone else for the company under the motto that the company is life. Pyoh Jong-rok is portrayed as a relatable and kind CFO who enjoys a glass of soju after work, developing a unique bromance with Lee Jay-hoon, who plays Choi In-beom.
Yoo Hae-jin shared his thoughts, saying, "I chose this movie because I liked Jong-rok's human side. He seems to be a character who cherishes his company and colleagues deeply," hinting that he has completed yet another impeccable performance. Following his role as a fierce ambitious prosecutor, Yoo Hae-jin returns as a CFO and is expected to showcase rich performances stemming from deep inner strength.
The film "Big Deal," which raises expectations with Yoo Hae-jin's multi-dimensional acting, deals with the story set during the 1997 IMF financial crisis, where the CFO Jong-rok, whose life revolves around the soju company, faces off against In-beom, an employee of a global investment firm solely pursuing results, with the fate of Korean national soju at stake. The film is scheduled to be released on June 3 (Tuesday).
