A new history of the sexy villain.
On the 4th, NEW revealed a fresh still of Shin Gu and Park Jin-young, who are showcasing their acting chemistry across generations in the movie 'High Five' as a two-in-one role.
The film is a comic action drama that depicts the story of five individuals who accidentally gain different superpowers through organ transplants and encounter those who seek to exploit their abilities. The character 'Young-chun', who appears as the main villain in a two-in-one role, is gaining attention for its unique setting, and the so-called 'fresh still' capturing the intense performances of Shin Gu and Park Jin-young in this role was unveiled, drawing attention.
In the stills, the resemblance between Shin Gu and Park Jin-young, who play the 'Young-chun' character that has rejuvenated rapidly due to the superpower of absorbing youth after receiving a pancreas transplant, is striking. In a two-shot where they are wearing the same outfit, their chillingly similar expressions showcase an impressive level of synchronization.
The two 'Young-chun' characters, exuding subtly different atmospheres in similar situations, reveal the multi-faceted nature of a character longing for immortality through Shin Gu's realistic portrayal of the frail and weary elderly 'Young-chun' and Park Jin-young's vibrant expression of the confident and proud youth 'Young-chun'.
After appearing in the middle of the film, Park Jin-young, despite his changed appearance, reportedly focused on studying Shin Gu's emotional lines and unique gaze to maintain the essence of 'Young-chun', striving to 'become one' with the character.
Park Jin-young revealed, "I researched everything from Shin Gu's unique speech patterns, walking style, to sitting posture," and he burned with passion for acting by recording Shin Gu's voice reading all of 'Young-chun's' lines before filming and practicing countless times.
The 'Young-chun' character, completed with Shin Gu's overwhelming presence and Park Jin-young's fiery passion, captivates audiences in theaters as a powerful villain character never seen before.
The movie 'High Five' is currently ranked number one at the box office.
