Actor Oh Jung-se, known for creating unique characters in each work with exceptional acting skills, has joined "Hi-Five" (director Kang Hyung-cheol, provided/distributed by NEW, produced by Annapurna Pictures).
After receiving love from audiences for being the perfect fit for every role, actor Oh Jung-se joins "Hi-Five" to showcase another side of himself. "Hi-Five" is a comic action drama that portrays a story of five individuals who happen to gain different superpowers through organ transplants and their encounters with those who seek their abilities.
From "Extreme Job," which brought laughter to 16 million viewers with the character Ted Chang, to "When The Camellia Blooms," where he captivated audiences with his alluring charm as Noh Gyu-tae, to his remarkable performance as a children's book illustrator on the autism spectrum in "It's Okay to Not Be Okay" as Moon Sang-tae, and the impactful character Yeom Byeong-cheol in "When Life Gives You Tangerines," actor Oh Jung-se, with his excellent acting skills and unique character portrayals, enhances the immersion of the drama and returns in "Hi-Five" as a doting father.
Jong-min, a taekwondo national representative from the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, is currently a director of a small local taekwondo studio, pressured by rent, but he takes on the role of Taekwondo V dad who will do anything for his daughter, Wan-seo. Jong-min, who couldn't relax after his sick daughter received a heart transplant, becomes increasingly anxious as Wan-seo is coming home later and later, and as lies increase, he worries about her being bullied. Oh Jung-se noted, "I tried to show the father-daughter relationship in a loving way rather than as an overprotective father," while director Kang Hyung-cheol introduced Jong-min as "a non-superpowered individual with the greatest superpower in "Hi-Five." This foreshadows the emergence of a so-called "God-Gban-in," an ordinary person who exudes a presence comparable to that of a superpowered individual. Lee Jae-in, who performed alongside him, said, "He took care of me like a real dad on set. I leaned on him a lot, calling him 'dad,'" raising expectations for the authentic father-daughter chemistry the two will present.
Oh Jung-se's performance as a doting father, overflowing with love and tears, is set to resonate deeply with audiences in the film "Hi-Five," which will be available in theaters on May 30 (Friday).
