Actor Ahn Jae-hong, who captivates audiences with unique performances in each work, is set to showcase a different acting transformation as the super-powered character 'Ji-sung,' who has exceptional lung capacity, in 'High Five' (distributed by NEW, produced by Annapurna Pictures, directed by Kang Hyung-cheol).

Actor Ahn Jae-hong, who surprises with his character portrayals that have a high synchronization rate for each role, will once again redefine his career role through 'High Five.' 'High Five' is a comic action drama depicting the story of five individuals who, after coincidentally gaining different superpowers through organ transplants, encounter those who seek their abilities.

Actor Ahn Jae-hong made a mark on the public with his quirky and unique charm in the film 'The King of Jokgu' and the drama 'Reply 1988.' Since then, he has showcased a powerful character versatility that is beyond transformation in various works such as 'Fight for My Way,' 'What's Wrong with Secretary Kim,' 'Mask Girl,' and 'Chicken Gangjeong,' earning recognition for his outstanding acting skills. Ahn Jae-hong, who is willing to undergo drastic image changes, including weight loss and gain for his roles, is expected to give rise to another legendary character in the film 'High Five' by sporting a bob haircut.

The character 'Ji-sung,' played by Ahn Jae-hong, is a long-time aspiring writer who gains the ability to blow away everything in sight after receiving lungs from a mysterious donor. 'Ji-sung,' who is well-versed in superhero conventions, sets out to find others who have received superpowers like him and takes a leading role in forming the team 'High Five.' His chemistry with high school student 'Wan-seo' is surprisingly harmonious, while he often bickers with his peer 'Gi-dong,' bringing laughter to the audience.

Regarding his new bob haircut, Ahn Jae-hong noted, "Since he is a character who handles the wind, I wanted the hair to convey the feeling of the wind well." He also expressed a desire to capture not only the character's abilities but also their characteristics and growth, revealing his affection for the role. Director Kang Hyung-cheol also stated, "'Ji-sung' is a character who discovers the value of his ability and ultimately his own worth while being with 'High Five,'" heightening the audience's expectations for Ahn Jae-hong's sincere portrayal of 'Ji-sung.'

Ahn Jae-hong, who is poised to redefine his career role as a superpowered wind user with exceptional lung capacity, can be seen in action in the film 'High Five,' which is set to be released in theaters on June 3 (Tuesday).
