In the busy entertainment industry, various works are being introduced today, and new artists are stepping in front of the public. Let's take a look at today's main schedule.
On the afternoon of the 7th, the press screening for the film 'Opposition Party' will take place. Attendees include director Hwang Byeong-guk, Kang Ha-neul, Yoo Hae-jin, Park Hae-joon, Ryu Kyung-soo, and Chae Won-bin.
'Opposition Party' is a crime action film that unfolds as a broker 'Opposition Party' who designs the drug scene in South Korea, a 'prosecutor' aiming for higher positions, and a 'detective' who is committed to eradicating drug crimes, all intertwined with different purposes.
Kang Ha-neul, Yoo Hae-jin, and Park Hae-joon, representing South Korea's acting talent, will transform into the broker 'Lee Kang-soo' who trades information between drug criminals and law enforcement, the ambitious and tough prosecutor 'Koo Kwan-hee', and the dedicated drug investigation detective 'Oh Sang-jae', respectively, promising outstanding performances.
Additionally, Ryu Kyung-soo and Chae Won-bin, who inspire trust just by their names, will play the son of the untouchable presidential candidate 'Jo Hoon' and the actress 'Um Soo-jin', who falls from grace due to a competitive investigation, enhancing the film's credibility and quality.
'Opposition Party' is the latest work from Hive Media Corp, a production company that has established itself as a box office maker with hits like 'Spring in Seoul' and 'Deliver Us from Evil'. Since its establishment in 2014, Hive Media Corp has consistently produced films, leaving a significant mark in the film industry with high-quality works across various genres including period dramas, horror, drama, comedy, romance, and action.
The film's quality is further elevated by a solid production team from Chungmuro, including cinematographer Lee Mo-gae, lighting director Lee Seong-hwan, costume director Kwak Jeong-ae, art director Lee Mok-won, and martial arts director Heo Myeong-haeng, all of whom participated in 'Spring in Seoul'.
Today (7th) morning, a press conference for JTBC's new entertainment program 'Street Food Business' will be held. Attendees include CP Kim Min-seok, PD Kim So-young, Ryu Soo-young, Pavli, Hwang Kwang-hee, Shin Hyun-ji, and Bae In-hyuk.
'Street Food Business' is a program where those who are serious about Korean cuisine and recipes ride a food bike and cook while traversing the Mediterranean kitchen of Spain. Ryu Soo-young, known for his home-cooked recipes as 'Eonam Teacher', and Pavli, a Michelin-starred chef for 15 consecutive years and a lover of Korean food, will start their business in Cadiz, Spain.
While their cooking skills are unquestionable, the two are new to street food business, and they will share their tumultuous challenges and unpredictable episodes as they open the one and only bicycle restaurant 'Yori Jori'.
Led by Ryu Soo-young and Pavli, Hwang Kwang-hee, Shin Hyun-ji, Bae In-hyuk, and Jeon So-mi will join the food bike, which serves as a mobile kitchen. The food bike is more open and flexible than a food truck, allowing for more active communication with customers and access to places that are difficult to reach by car. Unique sights that can only be seen at a bicycle restaurant are expected to bring joy.
'Yori Jori' presents new menus every day at different locations. Not only Ryu Soo-young and Pavli, but all members including Hwang Kwang-hee, Shin Hyun-ji, Bae In-hyuk, and Jeon So-mi are skilled in cooking, raising expectations for the birth of diverse Korean dishes that will captivate foreign guests. It will be interesting to see how foreign guests react to the new Korean dishes.
The unique chemistry of the members of 'Yori Jori' is also a major point of interest. Starting their business in an unfamiliar place, they will showcase their individual skills, demonstrating teamwork that transcends age and generations. Additionally, their efforts to solve unexpected crises that arise on the street will provide both fun and emotion.
On the afternoon of the 7th, a press conference for the Genie TV original drama 'New Soldier 3' will take place. Attendees include director Min Jin-ki, Kim Min-ho, Kim Dong-jun, Oh Dae-hwan, Nam Tae-woo, and Kim Hyun-kyu.
'New Soldier 3' depicts the heightened military life of Park Min-seok (played by Kim Min-ho), who is about to be promoted to corporal, as the unpredictable transfer of two new recruits and the return of an unprecedented villain create a crisis in the Mythical Unit. Above all, the collaboration between director Min Jin-ki, who has broken down the barriers between drama and entertainment with the 'K-military content' genre, and comedy master writer Yoon Gi-young is making viewers even more excited.
Based on the mega-hit animation of the same name, 'New Soldier' is a hyper-realistic comedy that tells the story of a 'military spoon' recruit entering a place where all kinds of characters, from good guys to bad guys to strange ones, gather. The actors' performances, which maximize the reality of the unique characters, and the delightful comedy that harmonizes perfectly with relatable reality have captured the tastes of the public across genders and generations, receiving great love in all previous seasons.
With high expectations, 'New Soldier 3' unfolds a challenging military life for Park Min-seok (played by Kim Min-ho) as he faces the 'national spoon' recruit Jeon Guk-min (played by Kim Dong-jun) and the new recruit Moon Bit-na-ri (played by Kim Yo-han), who reminds him of his own lowly days. In particular, the 'New Soldiers', who have delivered amazing performances every season, will once again captivate viewers with their character play and comedic ensemble.
Kim Min-ho plays the military spoon 'Park Min-seok', while Nam Tae-woo portrays the 'Choi Il-goo', who has no peace even as a final-year soldier. Lee Sang-jin plays the clumsy yet warm-hearted squad leader 'Oh Seok-jin', and Jeon Seung-hoon returns as the poker-faced 'Lim Da-hye'. The transformation of Lee Soo-ji, who plays Park Min-seok's sister and a special instructor with strong mental and physical strength, is also a point to look forward to.
Additionally, the presence of 'new faces' Kim Dong-jun, Oh Dae-hwan, and Kim Yo-han, who will bring a storm to the Mythical Unit, cannot be overlooked. Kim Dong-jun, a global star from a child actor background, plays the ace recruit 'Jeon Guk-min', who excels in looks, personality, and sense. Oh Dae-hwan plays the love-filled 'Jo Baek-ho', the newly appointed company commander of the 2nd company. Kim Yo-han transforms into the unusual recruit 'Moon Bit-na-ri', who has a timid personality and poor physical strength, reminiscent of Park Min-seok's recruit days, delivering impactful performances. The 'national spoon' and the lowly recruit, along with the love preacher who appears as the successor to the FM company commander, will fill the tumultuous period as Park Min-seok transitions to a senior soldier, raising the difficulty of military life.
