Ha Jung-woo's Instagram
Renowned actor Ha Jung-woo is set to showcase his multifaceted talents once again as he embarks on a new cinematic journey, both behind and in front of the camera. In an exciting announcement on Friday, his management agency, Workhouse Company, revealed that Ha will write, direct, and star in a forthcoming comedy film tentatively titled "OB." The film's narrative centers around a man employing an unconventional strategy of taking financiers and lawmakers on golf tours to secure a crucial government contract.
The multi-talented Ha Jung-woo, known for his versatile acting skills, has proven his directorial prowess in the past. Notably, he helmed the critically acclaimed disaster comedy film "Fasten Your Seatbelt" in 2013 and the compelling drama film "Chronicle of a Blood Merchant" in 2015. With "OB," Ha aims to deliver a side-splitting comedy that promises to captivate audiences with its unique blend of humor and political intrigue.
Currently in the scriptwriting stage, Ha is meticulously crafting the screenplay for "OB" while simultaneously assembling a fresh ensemble cast of talented newcomers to bring his vision to life. The film's premise, revolving around lobbying and governmental negotiations intertwined with the allure of golf, provides a fertile ground for Ha's creative storytelling and distinctive comedic sensibilities.
While Ha Jung-woo's directorial aspirations take center stage, his acting career remains as dynamic as ever. The esteemed actor has an exciting lineup of projects slated for release throughout the year. One of his highly anticipated films, "Boston 1947," delves into the inspiring journey of Korean athletes participating in the historic Boston Marathon of 1947. Audiences can look forward to its theatrical release in September, where Ha's powerful performance promises to leave a lasting impression.
Additionally, Ha is set to captivate viewers in another upcoming film, tentatively titled "Kidnapped." This gripping tale sheds light on the real-life events surrounding Korean hostages captured in war-torn Beirut, Lebanon, during the tumultuous 1980s. While the exact release date for "Kidnapped" is yet to be announced, expectations are running high for Ha's immersive portrayal of the hostages' harrowing ordeal.
Ha Jung-woo's cinematic journey faced a temporary setback in 2020 when he became the subject of a drug use investigation. The actor was subsequently convicted for the illicit use of propofol, a sleep-inducing drug, for non-medical purposes. However, Ha successfully made a comeback with his stellar performance in the Netflix series "Narco-Saints." Building on this resurgence, he recently delighted audiences by appearing on Tving's popular travel show, "Bros on Foot," alongside industry peers Ju Ji-hoon, Yeo Jin-goo, and Choi Min-ho of SHINee.
As Ha Jung-woo forges ahead with his ambitious directorial project, "OB," the entertainment industry eagerly awaits the unfolding of this new chapter in his illustrious career. With his unparalleled talent, artistic vision, and proven track record, Ha's comedic exploration is poised to captivate audiences and solidify his status as a creative force to be reckoned with in the world of film.
