Initially, 'High Five' was filmed in November 2021, but its release was temporarily postponed after the lead actor Yoo Ah-in was caught on drug charges in 2023. Coach Kang responded, `It's unfortunate. I wish I hadn't, but at the time, the movie wasn't complete yet, so I was working on the second half"There was a memorable phrase among the phrases I saw when I was young, and "When something happens, a competent leader must solve the case first"." As the director and director of this film, I had to work hard on the latter part of the work, and there was a sense that I had to complete the passionate work of the shining actors into a work. Then, when asked about the amount of Yoo Ah-in in the work, "I barely touched it," he replied briefly.

Ahn Jae-hong plays Ji-sung, who shows off his superpower of strong winds after a lung transplant. Director Kang Hyung-chul seems to be a genius. It's the director's work, and I was attracted just by the fact that I could participate. I was wondering how the director would draw this story, but as soon as I saw the scenario, I was amazed"I was excited even when I saw the story's subject matter, the way it unfolded, and the team play."

In particular, Ahn Jae-hong drew attention by reuniting with Ra Mi-ran following the tvN drama 「Reply 1988」 that aired in 2015. Ahn Jae-hong has dreamed of reuniting with Miran. I've been waiting for this moment. Just by looking at the still, I think we look good together"I was so happy, excited, and reassured acting with my senior..." he said, expressing satisfaction.

In response, Ra Mirando "Reply 1988" and his son Jeongbong immediately forgot (laughs). But Jaehong still calls me mother. You don't know when, where, and what kind of work the actor will meet. Even now, I don't think I'm short at all, and I just feel like I'm the same age. I had so much fun with Jaehong. I didn't know if he was acting or playing," he replied.

Ramiran has transformed into a sincere fresh manager fairy who received a kidney transplant. Ra Mi-ran was attracted by the fact that he played a pretty role again, saying, `I had high expectations and faith in the director.' If it's not pretty, it's a role that can be pretty even with superpowers, so I participated with the mindset of 'When will I ever do this kind of work again?' he said.

After hearing this, director Kang said "I really wanted to be with Ra Mi-ran, so I convinced "The Fairy" to be a beautiful woman reminiscent of her first love. It's a role like that in real life. It was my first time working with Ra Mi-ran, and it was so touching. As a director, I have to work in the field, but he made the director an audience."
