[My Daily = Reporter Nam Hye-yeon] Ha Jung-woo has completed his third directorial work. 

Michigan Venture Capital Co., Ltd. announced on the 16th that “LOBBY,” a movie directed by Ha Jung-woo, cranked up on December 27, 2023. 

‘Lobby’ is a work that depicts the story surrounding golf lobbying by Chang-wook (played by Ha Jung-woo), who is perfect in research, zero in business, and even less good at golf, in order to win a national smart road project. 

Ha Jung-woo, who perfectly played the role of director and actor, said, “I would like to say that I am very grateful that I was able to make Lobby in a difficult time for Korean movies,”and added, “There are a lot of lines and a dictionary.”It was important to get the results together, so we held 10 readings starting in May, and I am grateful to the actors for being so cooperative,” he said, giving all the credit to the actors. 

Along with this, he said, “It was a filming where I realized once again that movies are made through teamwork with all the staff and actors working together,” and added, “I feel like I received a huge gift and blessing.” “I will do my best in post-production and come back with an interesting movie,” he said, expressing his gratitude for successfully completing filming.

This is Ha Jung-woo’s third directorial film. With his debut film ‘Roller Coaster’, he showed his potential by simultaneously driving the movie’s stage, the airplane cabin, and the theater into a roller coaster of laughter. In addition, with his second work, Heo Sam-gwan, he showed stable directing skills with a human drama in which warm denial and eras are funny. Therefore, expectations for this third work are also unique. 

In addition to Ha Jung-woo, ‘Lobby’ The casting lineup is also interesting. ‘Chang-wook’ and ‘Gwang-woo’, one-time best friends and rivals who fight to win national project rights with a huge budget, were played by Ha Jung-woo and Park Byeong-eun, respectively. Ha Jung-woo’s ‘Chang-wook’ has only work and study in his life. Golf is something I have never even been interested in. The once-in-a-lifetime event that befell him was playing golf for the first time. 

The two axes of ‘A’, which has the authority to decide on bids, are Kim Eui-seong as ‘Director Choi’, a veteran civil servant in charge of practical work, and Kang Mal-geum as ‘Minister Jo’, who is not interested in practical work but has great ambitions. The only thing they have in common is that they both love golf so much that they are at odds with each other. The story unfolds in earnest as ‘Chang-wook’ and ‘Gwang-woo’ each select the two as targets of lobbying. 

Kwak Seon-young plays the role of ‘Director Kim’, the right-hand man of ‘Chang-wook’ who recommends entertainment golf, and newcomer Eom Ha-neul plays the role of ‘Chang-wook’s’ cousin and soldier-in-arms ‘Ho-sik’. ‘Reporter Park’ who introduces ‘Chief Choi’ to ‘Chang-wook’ is Dong-hwi Lee, and Hae-soo Park is the ‘golf course representative’ of August CC, where the two teams play rounds at the same time on the same day. 

And ‘Chief Choi’s’ favorite golfer ‘Jin Pro’, whom ‘Changwook’ brings in as reinforcements for lobby golf, is a rookie Kang Hae-rim. Choi Si-won plays the former top star ‘Ma Tae-soo’, Minister Choi’s favorite and brought in by ‘Gwang-woo’. In addition, apart from this ‘lobbying’, Hyun Bong-sik plays the role of Father Garcini, who is hired by the ‘golf course representative’ with the aim of lifting the green belt, and Cha Joo-young plays the role of ‘Dami’, the school junior of ‘Minister Choi’ and the wife of the golf course representative. I am going to act on screen. 

Meanwhile, director Ha Jung-woo’s film ‘Lobby’ is scheduled to be released after undergoing post-production.
