The only ♥ swimming, it helps a lot...Boss Cho Woo-jin → Jung Kyung-ho, a lion boy zombie daughter in her 40s (Roundup)



Lion Boyz in their 40s, Cho Woo-jin, Jung Kyung-ho, Park Ji-hwan, and Lee Kyu-hyung also heralded Chuseok's rich big laughter.

On the morning of the 1st, a report on the production of comedy films 'Boss' (directed by Ra Hee-chan, produced by Hive Media Corp) was held at Megabox Seongsu, located in Seongsu-dong 1-ga, Seongdong-gu, Seoul. The production briefing session was attended by Cho Woo-jin as Soon-tae, a two-job chef who dreams of becoming a Chinese restaurant boss, not a boss, Jung Kyung-ho as Kang Pyo, a street tango fighter who laid down his position as the successor to the family, Park Ji-hwan as Pan-ho, the only one who wants a boss position in the family group, Lee Kyu-hyung as undercover police Tae-gyu, and director Ra Hee-chan.

'Boss' is a work that depicts a desperate confrontation between members who fiercely concede their boss positions to each other for their dreams ahead of the election of the next boss whose future is at stake. He aimed at the Chuseok Theater with fresh ideas that the next boss candidates do not want to be bosses and individual characters who are more serious about secondary characters than main characters.




In particular, 'Boss' is expected to bring together Jung Kyung-ho, who has shown a wide range of acting spectrum that is not tied to the genre, Park Ji-hwan, who exudes overwhelming and intense presence, and Lee Kyu-hyung, who has a variety of charms across all fields, to create a powerful laughter bomb synergy.

On this day, Cho Woo-jin "I felt like I could try new things as an actor. I thought it would be a good opportunity because it was a work and genre that I had never done before. I filmed 'Boss' before 'Harbin' and it was a heavy and deep character in the work that needed healing. At that moment, I was offered 'Boss'. Director La La Hee-chan also recommended that he try to heal with 'Boss' and decided to appear on 'Boss' in the movie. He played a character who everyone wants to admire as a boss, but who wants to conquer the country with his hands, not his fist. We explained that it might be the Lion Boys' 40s version of the `K-Pop Demon Hunters"

Like a character who dreams of becoming a Chinese chef, he prepared a lot in advance, saying, `I tried to learn from Chef Yeo Kyung-rae and Chef Park Eun-young how to make noodles and wok. They met before 'black and white cook' I'm nervous about how the two of you will watch this movie"I laughed.

Jung Kyung-ho said, `I heard that Cho Woo-jin, Park Ji-hwan, and Lee Kyu-hyung were cast, so I decided to appear without looking at the scenario. Because they were these actors, the work got better."

He played the free spirit. I was a character who fell in love with the piano, not dancing, but it was not easy to learn how to play the piano. So I changed it to dance tango. In fact, director Ra Hee-chan dances. I'm not good at dancing, but I gave a lot of directions on the spot. There was not much time to prepare. I've been trying a lot for the secondary tango for about four months. Tango is a really attractive dance. I even want to recommend it to people around me. It's a dance with such a strange charm."

As for the advice of girlfriend Choi Soo-young, a former member of the girl group Girls' Generation, he is receiving help not only by dancing but also by listening to various advice. When I showed them the tango practice video, they cheered me up, saying, `You're good.' I think Tango and the girl group dance are a little different, so I think I received more support than specific advice,' he confessed.

Park Ji-hwan said "'Boss' has a retro taste like listening to old cassette tapes. This story deals with rough things, but it's drawn very beautifully. And if these members are there, it's definitely going to be like this' I came to work with the mind that 'It's a disaster.'"

Lee Kyu-hyung "When I first saw this scenario, it was so easy to read. I noticed my role more and it was so attractive. I'm an undercover cop who's been infiltrating for 10 years, and I find that point so interesting. Also, the action was described in bold and interesting ways, so I was very excited. It is a character that connects the lineage of the 'Mugando'New World. He said, "After living as an untouchable for 10 years, he is a character who gets confused about his identity."

Director Ra Hee-chan said, `The release itself feels like a movie to me. I'm looking forward to it and I'm nervous"It was a novel subject when I heard this project at the scenario stage. It was a work that made me laugh when I heard the plan for the first time. It's not an obvious gangster movie, it's a novel comedy movie to watch."

Cho Woo-jin, Jung Kyung-ho, Park Ji-hwan, Lee Kyu-hyung, Oh Dal-soo, Hwang Woo-seul-hye, Jung Yu-jin, Ko Chang-seok, and Lee Sung-min appeared in 'Boss', and director Ra Hee-chan of 'Let's Live Properly'Mr. Idol' took the megaphone. It will be released on Chuseok this year.
