Yoo Ah-in's risk of winning will be settled safely even after 4 years

Yoo Ah-in was sentenced to one year in prison in the first trial for habitual drug use in September last year, arrested in court, and released after being sentenced to one year in prison and two years of probation in the second trial held in February this year. He has suspended his acting activities since February 2023, when the drug controversy was first revealed to the world, but the bigger problem is that even works filmed in advance had to be hit hard. The films that have taken on the `Yoo Ah-in Risk' are the human films 'Victory' (directed by Kim Hyung-ju, produced by Moon Kwang, produced by Moon Kwang, and the comic action films 'High Five' (directed by Kang Hyung-chul, produced by Annapurna Film).

This 'Victory' was finally able to put up a sign in the theater as Yoo Ah-in was released this year with a reduced sentence. By4M Studio, a new investment and distributor, brought 'Victory', which Netflix had a burden on, and met the audience for the first time in four years. Fortunately, the audience focused on the cinematic quality of 'Victory' and the famous performances of actors except Yoo Ah-in, and as a result, they received a box office performance of 2.14 million.

It was an expected work 'High Five', which put a fresh setting at the forefront as a small citizen hero genre, but also had to cross the thorny path that was not easy because of 'Yoo Ah-in'. Like 'High Five', which cranked up in November 2021 and started working on the second half of its release line-up in May of the following year, 'High Five' had to spend an unprompted time when its release was put on hold due to drug charges against toddlers.
'High Five' was also impossible to edit as Yoo Ah-in played a major role. Above all, the setting that the character of Yoo Ah-in in 'High Five' is 'Hero' conflicts with the tag of 'Drug Teacher', putting a greater burden on him. In 'Victory', Yoo Ah-in boasted a high synchro rate as a real person, Lee Chang-ho. On top of that, Lee Byung-hun, who played Cho Hoon-hyun, played a bigger role than Lee Chang-ho, so the audience was able to accept the movie more generously. However, the situation is a little different with 'high-five'.
Gadong, played by Yoo Ah-in in High Five, is a character who becomes a superpower who sees electromagnetic waves such as Wi-Fi while receiving corneal transplants as hipster unemployed. It is questionable how much the audience will be immersed in the image of Yoo Ah-in, who became a hero who saved the world by becoming a superpower along with Lee Jae-in, Ahn Jae-hong, Ra Mi-ran, and Kim Hee-won. Yoo Ah-in was completely deleted from the promotion of "High Five" but she will have a significant presence as a hero who saves the world in the movie.

Director Kang Hyung-chul, who released 'High Five' on the 30th of this month after four years of twists and turns, indirectly expressed his thoughts on the risk of infants at a production briefing on the 12th. He saw a text that read "A competent leader must solve first when something big happens." So, as a director and director of the movie, I had to work harder on the second half"I was enthusiastic about the work with the single mind that I had to complete the work of shining actors. However, he barely touched it in an editorial manner. That's why we're able to release a movie like this today."
Like 'Victory', 'High Five' also became an unfortunate problem that caused Amon damage by taking 'Inin Risk'. Attention is focusing on whether Yoo Ah-in's second movie, which has become a painful finger in the movie industry, will be able to settle safely in the hearts of the audience.
