Kim Dong-han of WEi spoke about his impressions of appearing in the movie 'Replay.' The film depicts the struggles of idol stars caught in scandals, promising taekwondo athletes who are injured, and participants of hobby classes fighting for a turnaround in their lives. On the 21st of this month, a media preview and press conference were held at CGV Yongsan I-Park Mall. Kim Dong-han, who has a background as a judo athlete, played the role of a taekwondo master named Hichan in the film. He said, 'I learned judo when I was young, but it was my first time with taekwondo, and there were difficult parts. I received a lot of help from the director and staff. The members, including Kim Yohan, also supported me wholeheartedly.' Director Hong Kyung-sun, known for depicting idol stories in works like 'Memory Time,' 'Roommate is a Handsome Ghost!?' and 'Her Bucket List,' revealed his intention to create a gentle film about people with various circumstances who accidentally gather at a taekwondo dojo and become like a pseudo-family. Following this, Jo Su-min, who gained popularity as a child actor in dramas like 'Rumored Chill Princess' and 'Mom Has Horns,' and showed stable acting in the 'Penthouse' series, challenged herself with the role of idol star Eunchae in 'Replay,' hinting at an image change. She said, 'Since this was my second project with the director, the set was enjoyable. As an idol role, I worked hard on dance practice and learned a lot from Kim Dong-han, who played the master in the taekwondo scenes. Eunchae is a straightforward and cool character, but it was wonderful to see her heart warm and change through interactions with her taekwondo dojo friends.' The film 'Replay,' depicting the chaotic drama and growth story of young people starting anew, will be released in South Korea on November 6.
