Actors Joo Hyun-young and Kim Young-dae enhance the power of the TVING original "Running Mate."
The production team of the TVING original "Running Mate" (directed and written by Han Jin-won, produced by Billions Plus, ACESMAKER Studio, Running Mate Cultural Industry Specialized Limited Company, provided by TVING) announced on the 5th that Joo Hyun-young and Kim Young-dae will make special appearances, increasing expectations.
'Running Mate' is a high teen political drama about Noh Se-hun (played by Yoon Hyun-soo), who became the target of ridicule by all students due to an unforeseen incident, being nominated as the vice presidential candidate in the student council election and navigating through all sorts of schemes to win. Amid the fierce competition of high school student council elections, the boiling desires and emotions of youth, as well as the shining friendships and warm growth stories, are expected to provide a unique enjoyment.
Above all, it is receiving intense interest as it is the directorial debut of Han Jin-won, co-writer of "Parasite," who won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. The fact that TVING, which has successfully released unique school-themed dramas such as "After School War Activities," "Pyramid Game," and "Study Group," is now introducing a 'high teen political drama' also draws attention. Particularly, the performance of new actors with distinctive personalities and solid acting skills such as Yoon Hyun-soo, Lee Jung-sik, Choi Woo-sung, Hong Hwa-yeon, Lee Bong-jun, and Kim Ji-woo, who have everything changed after entering the student council election, excites drama fans.
In the meantime, the news of Joo Hyun-young and Kim Young-dae's special appearances further stimulates anticipation. In the unpredictable student council election, where one must go crazy to win and where winning is the true prize, Joo Hyun-young and Kim Young-dae are expected to play impactful roles.
Joo Hyun-young, who caught attention with a brief appearance in the main trailer, stated, "Running Mate' is an attractive work with an interesting story. I enjoyed being part of it, even if only briefly." She added, "Since all the staff and actors worked hard on set, I hope viewers will enjoy watching it. I hope you can have a cool summer watching 'Running Mate.'"
Kim Young-dae, who adds strength to the narrative of Noh Se-hun, who dreams of resetting his life by running for vice president, remarked, "I really like and cherish actor Yoon Hyun-soo, who I have always admired. I was delighted and grateful to have the opportunity to make a special appearance in 'Running Mate.'" He continued, "I found the movie 'Parasite' really enjoyable, so it was even more meaningful and an honor to be part of the first directorial work by Director Han Jin-won, who wrote its screenplay."
Meanwhile, the TVING original 'Running Mate' will be fully released on TVING on June 19 (Thursday).
