Mar 04, 2025

The upcoming film “Lobby” has released a set of character stills, offering a glimpse into its dynamic ensemble cast!

Directed by Ha Jung Woo, “Lobby” follows the story of Chang Wook (Ha Jung Woo), a startup CEO who has spent his life focused solely on research. However, when faced with the challenge of securing a 4-trillion-won (approximately $2.8 billion) government contract, he is forced to step into the high-stakes world of lobbyist golf for the first time.

The newly released stills highlight the distinct personalities of the film’s colorful lineup of characters. Ha Jung Woo, who takes on both directing and acting roles in the film, perfectly embodies the research-obsessed Chang Wook as he sits deep in thought at his desk.

His business rival, Kwang Woo (Park Byung Eun), a seasoned expert in lobbying, exudes an icy presence as he converses with Chang Wook at a funeral, heightening anticipation for their on-screen rivalry. Meanwhile, reporter Park (Lee Dong Hwi), a journalist who facilitates lobbying deals, is seen holding a luxury watch in a secretive manner, while Director Kim (Kwak Sun Young), Chang Wook’s right-hand woman, appears visibly on edge, raising curiosity about the challenges ahead.

Adding to the intrigue, corrupt Minister Cho (Kang Mal Geum), a key decision-maker in the government project, holds the fate of both Chang Wook and Kwang Woo in her hands, escalating the high-stakes competition. The stills also feature pro golfer Jin (Kang Hae Rim) in a poised stance, while political powerhouse Chief Choi (Kim Eui Sung) is seen being helped by Chang Wook, hints at moments of unexpected humor.

Finally, a particularly intriguing still captures an intense conversation between Kwang Woo, Minister Cho, legendary actor Ma Tae Soo (Choi Siwon), golf course owner (Park Hae Soo), and his wife Da Mi (Cha Joo Young), setting the stage for razor-sharp dialogue and electrifying chemistry among the cast.
