With his 64 years of acting experience, Shin Gu is showcasing an overwhelming presence in the movie ‘High FIVE,’ increasing anticipation. Despite being in his 64th year since debut, his current ongoing performance in this film is expected to leave another strong impression in the Korean film industry beyond a simple transformation. ‘High FIVE’ is a comic action spectacle that unfolds as fIVE individuals with different superpowers confront beings seeking their abilities, triggered by a long-term organ transplant. Shin Gu, playing the role of a pseudo-religious leader ‘Yeongchun’ who dreams of eternal life after gaining superpowers in the play, has successfully portrayed a multi-layered villain transcending the boundaries of good and evil. Particularly noteworthy is that Park Jin-young co-acted as the young version of ‘Yeongchun’ played by Shin Gu. The character, portrayed by two actors representing different generations, symbolically encapsulates the passage of time, desires, and human nature. Director Kang Hyeong-cheol praised, “Every scene with Shin Gu was like a movie in itself. It was an honor just to work together.” In ‘High FIVE,’ Shin Gu’s performance, overwhelming the screen as a character filled with desires and a ruthless villain chasing ‘power,’ is exceptional. Shin Gu, who never fails to meet the audience’s expectations with his seasoned acting, will once again not disappoint. The character ‘Yeongchun’ he has created will reveal what kind of impact it will leave on May 30th in theaters.
