Eom Tae-woong's return to the screen, the human film 'Last Homework' (directed by Lee Jung-chul, produced by Studio Killer Whale), has confirmed its release in August.
Director Lee Jung-chul, who directed the movie, was well-received for portraying the meaning of family in various forms with warm emotions through 「Heart 2」, which stole the hearts of the entire nation with pleasant laughter and emotion, the time-limited father, the late son, and the ex-convict's daughter. This Last Homework is a touching drama centered on Kim Young-nam (Um Tae-woong), a temporary homeroom teacher who continues his own unique class to teach children the true meaning of dreams and happiness, and will visit the theater this summer.
Um Tae-woong's return is also receiving a lot of attention. Earlier, in January 2016, Um Tae-woong entered an officetel massage parlor located in Bundang, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, and was accused of sexual assault by A, who worked there, causing shock. At that time, a police investigation found that A, who was arrested on charges of fraud, conspired with B, a massage shop owner, and demanded money and threatened Um Tae-woong several times to receive a settlement, and the sexual assault charge was sentenced to 'not guilty', but he was found to have engaged in prostitution with A and was summarily indicted for KRW 1 million.
Eom Tae-woong, who starred in 'Last Homework', said "It's meaningful because it's been a long time since I participated in this work. As soon as I read the scenario, my heart warmed up," he said, expressing his feelings about his return work. In particular, about director Lee Jung-chul, who met once again following 'Family', "It is an old relationship we have had since we were rookies. Since he is a strong coach, he gained unwavering faith. I'm lucky to have this work with the director," he said, expressing his deep trust.
Regarding the role of a teacher 'Kim Young-nam', who is in charge of a temporary homeroom teacher at a private elementary school, Uhm Tae-woong introduced the character "If I had such a teacher, I would have had a more fun and happy school life" In addition, \'The Last Homework' is a warm movie that can give a big resonance with director Lee Jung-chul's calm but delicate production, which raises questions.
