Yoon Hyun-soo, Lee Jung-sik, Choi Woo-sung, Hong Hwa-yeon, Lee Bong-joon, and Kim Ji-woo will have a fiercer election war than the entrance examination.

The TVing original 'Running Mate', which will be released on the 19th, released a highlight video on the 11th, signaling an unpredictable election campaign. The fiery confrontation between students, who have begun to change everything just because they are running for the president of the student council, raises expectations to the fullest.

"Running Mate" is a high-teen cheerful political drama in which Roh Se-hoon, who was teased by all students due to an unexpected incident, is nominated as a vice presidential candidate for the student council president election, and runs toward the election through all kinds of tricks.




Above all, drama fans are excited by Han Jin-won, who won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for co-writer of "Parasite", and TVing, who successfully succeeded in a series of academies with different subjects such as "After School War Activities", "Pyramid Game", and "Study Group", which is a new "High Teen Political Drama". In particular, hot expectations are pouring in for the performances of newcomers with strong personalities and acting skills such as Yoon Hyun-soo, Lee Jung-sik, Choi Woo-sung, Hong Hwa-yeon, Lee Bong-joon, and Kim Ji-woo.

In the meantime, the highlight video released begins with a sudden change in Roh Se-hoon, who wanted to spend a normal school life. Noh Se-hoon, who was teased by the whole school due to an absurd accident on the bus on his way to school. The opportunity to recover the fallen image comes with the words of Yang Won-dae, the choir director who proposes an election running mate for the student council president. When someone says that the only way to escape the humiliating past is to become a vice chairman and chew everyone, Roh Se-hoon decides to run as an election running mate with the determination to become an awl that comes out of his pocket.

It wasn't the end here. "You're the famous Roh Se-hoon, aren't you?" Kwak Sang-hyun, a popular human boutique, approached the person who said that. After a series of love calls from the mainstream of Yeongjin High School, Noh Se-hoon is immediately crowned as a "super insider" who is envied by everyone. Thus, everything began to change just because he was running for the election. Kwak Sang-hyun, a gold spoon who prepares everything he needs, Noh Se-hoon, who became Kwak's running mate, not Yangwon University, and Yoon Jung-hee, the top student in the school with different levels, will join the race to win unconditionally.

Yangwon University's camp against Kwak Sang-hyun's camp is also formidable. Yangwon University, which is running as a candidate for student council president, is the face of Youngjin High School, which is popular with both teachers and students. He is a good model student from head to toe, but somehow, his eyes on the student council president's election are even crazy. On top of that, he is no other example, but 'Insider Power' makes everyone's unrivalled friends Park Ji-hoon and Youngjin High School's visual center Ha Yoo-kyung appear as running mates for the vice president of the school, raising expectations for a tight race.

What awaits at the end of the falsehood-tainted student council presidential election that becomes real when you go crazy and win. The two camps' battle of spirit, thrilling psychological warfare, and a must-win strategy that does not use any means to win foretells an unpredictable development. In particular, the conflict that came during the overheated election campaign led to "What should we do to pay attention to?" Kwak Sang-hyun's terrifying tenacity of `That's it.' raised questions, signaling an election race in which the only goal was 'to win' and the direction of the result was unknown.

The TVing original 'Running Mate' will be released in full on TVing on June 19 (Thursday).
