Director Shin Woosuk of the Dolphin Kidnapping Gang, as the year-end approaches, will unveil original content. On December 15, Kakao Entertainment will release the music video and audio for the original content 'Shin Woosuk's Urban Fairy Tale EP.1 “The Christmas Song”' through the official YouTube channel of the Dolphin Kidnapping Gang and major music platforms. The previously released teaser video has generated buzz with a luxurious cast including Byung Woosuk, IVE's Wonyoung, and aespa's Karina, along with a story that piques curiosity, drawing attention to the music video. 'Shin Woosuk's Urban Fairy Tale' is an original content project planned and produced by director Shin Woosuk, who has created unconventional commercial content with imaginative storytelling and has presented trends. This project showcases the story the director wants to convey through music and visuals he produced himself. In the future, he plans to approach the public through various music and visuals. The first installment, 'The Christmas Song,' features a luxurious cast including Byung Woosuk, Wonyoung, Karina, Park Hisun, and Moon Soli, raising expectations. It depicts the story of a child abandoned by parents who grows up to be a priest, learning reconciliation and forgiveness, promising to deliver heartwarming healing and emotion. Part 1 will be released on the 15th and is part of a two-part series. Byung Woosuk plays the role of Father Vincensio, who was abandoned as a child and grew up under the care of others, while Wonyoung and Karina play the roles of nuns who spend time with him, and Park Hisun plays Father Choi Yohan, who has cared for Father Vincensio since childhood. Based on the Dolphin Kidnapping Gang's delicate yet witty storytelling, expectations are high for the heartwarming story completed by the fresh chemistry between Byung Woosuk, Wonyoung, and Karina, as well as the overwhelming acting of Park Hisun and Moon Soli. Additionally, this video utilizes the image generation model Nano Banana Pro and the video generation model Veo 3, powered by Google Gemini 3, through a strategic partnership with Google, to create deeper visuals. The audio for 'The Christmas Song,' featuring Byung Woosuk's vocals, also heightens expectations for the project. Given the popularity of last year's OST 'Evening Shower' from 'Run with Songjae,' which topped various music charts in Korea and abroad for an extended period, there is great anticipation for how 'The Christmas Song,' with its warm Christmas atmosphere and soft tones from Byung Woosuk, will be reborn with new charm. Director Shin Woosuk stated, 'This project was planned to deliver comfort and support to everyone as we approach the year-end, and I hope it serves as a small gift to take a moment to rest while concluding the year.' He added, 'As a creator, I want to continue delivering enjoyment through original content that differs from advertising campaigns.'
