'Running Mate' director will make his directorial debut after winning an Oscar for his play.

Director Han Jin-won said at the production presentation of the original TVing 'Running Mate' held at the Stanford Hotel in Mapo, Seoul on the 12th, "The Osaka Award was given to him."Now I do what I can do"

`Running Mate' is a high-teen cheerful political drama in which Roh Se-hoon (Yoon Hyun-soo), who was teased by all students due to an unexpected incident, is nominated as a vice president of the student council's election, and runs toward the election through all kinds of tricks. The simmering desires and joys and sorrows of young people in the fierce election for the president of the high school student council, and the friendship and warm growth story in them are expected to provide different fun.

Above all, drama fans are paying attention to the fact that it is the production debut of Han Jin-won, who won the Oscar for Best Screenplay as a co-writer of Parasite. Director Han Jin-won said, `It's a sweaty story of six girls and boys who entered the election. Covering the election materially does not mean relying solely on extreme fights and conflicts. It also included positive energy like the 90s high-teen drama.

It seems that he will feel burdened by the fact that he will make his directing debut after the Oscar for Best Screenplay. Coach Han said, `Five years have already passed, I felt heavy and I was cautious and nervous around me. If it was something that contributed to the work of the great movie seniors and put spoons on it, now I decided to do what I could"

The TVing original 'Running Mate' will be released on the 19th (Thursday).
