Kim Min, who joined the ranks of million-ticket-selling actors with the film 'The King and the Clown' (directed by Jang Hang-jun), is set to dominate the screen once again.
Kim Min stars as Heo Jae-yoon in the film 'Rebound' (directed by Jang Hang-jun), which is being re-released in theaters nationwide today (3rd). 'Rebound' holds special significance for Kim Min as it marks his debut in commercial cinema.
'Rebound' is an inspiring true story about the miraculous 8-day journey of a new coach and six players from the weakest high school basketball team in the 2012 national high school basketball tournament, a team that no one paid attention to.
In the film, Kim Min plays Heo Jae-yoon, a character who has been playing basketball for seven years but remains a perennial benchwarmer. Despite having no official game experience before entering high school, he is a passionate lover of basketball. As a 'growth icon,' Heo Jae-yoon showcases a remarkable turnaround on the court, capturing the dazzling moments of youth.
To commemorate the re-release of 'Rebound,' Kim Min will meet audiences through stage greetings, continuing the film's intense energy and emotion beyond the screen and sharing a special connection with viewers.
Previously, Kim Min left a strong impression in 'The King and the Clown' by portraying Eom Tae-san, the son of village chief Eom Heung-do (played by Yoo Hae-jin), with maturity and confidence beyond his years. 'The King and the Clown' has surpassed 15.78 million viewers, maintaining its phenomenal popularity. Kim Min has collaborated with director Jang Hang-jun for the third time with 'Rebound,' 'The Killers,' and 'The King and the Clown.'
Following 'The King and the Clown' and now the re-release of 'Rebound,' Kim Min continues to expand his presence on screen, drawing attention to his career trajectory. As he continues to make his mark in cinema, curiosity grows about the new chapters he will write in his filmography.
