Actor Lee Min-jae announced his return to the screen with 'Boy in the Pool.'
On 14th, the film 'Boy in the Pool,' in which Lee Min-jae took his first lead role, was released.
The film 'Boy in the Pool' is a coming-of-age chronicle that depicts the secret and growth of a girl who loves swimming, 'Seok-young' (played by Hyowoo), and a special boy with webbed feet, 'Woo-joo' (played by Lee Min-jae), set in the years 2007 and 2013.
In the film, Lee Min-jae portrays 'Woo-joo,' a boy with special webbed feet who receives attention as a potential national swimming representative but falls into a significant slump as his webbing begins to fade, delicately illustrating the diverse emotional changes of adolescence and capturing the audience's focus.
Woo-joo, who initially had no major ambitions in swimming, was drawn in by Seok-young's encouragement but showcased remarkable talent due to his webbing, stimulating Seok-young and causing her feelings of inferiority. However, as he grows, the specialness of Woo-joo fades, leading him to empathize with Seok-young's feelings, reunite with her, and search for his true self.
Lee Min-jae, captivated by the character 'Woo-joo' from the beginning, concentrated on swimming practice to perfect his performance, correcting his posture and expressing the concerns and anxieties that youth experience at that age in relation to Seok-young, which resonated with the audience.
Especially, Lee Min-jae powerfully expressed Woo-joo's complex emotions, who felt hurt and confused due to the revelation of his secret and the subsequent rejection, raising expectations for the actor's growth.
Recently, Lee Min-jae has risen as a rising star with astonishing synchronization rates and unique character interpretations in various works across genres, receiving love both domestically and internationally.
