Ahn Jae-hong "plays the role of coach Kang Yang-hyeon, a real person"

Actor Ahn Jae-hong expressed his feelings about playing coach Kang Yang-hyeon, a real-life character, in the movie 'Rebound'.

On the afternoon of the 28th, a press screening for the movie 'Rebound' (directed by Jang Hang-jun) was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Director Jang Hang-jun, Ahn Jae-hong, Lee Shin-young, Jeong Jin-woon, Kim Taek, Jeong Geon-ju, Kim Min, and Ahn Ji-ho attended the press conference held after the preview.

'Rebound' is a miraculous story of 8 days during the 2012 National High School Basketball Tournament, when a new coach and 6 players of the weakest basketball team that no one paid attention to ran tirelessly. It is based on the true story of Busan Jungang High School's success in the 2012 Korea Basketball Association Long National Middle and High School Basketball Tournament.

In the play, Ahn Jae-hong plays the role of coach Kang Yang-hyeon. Coach Yang-Hyeon Kang is a former national tournament MVP and a public service worker who will coach Busan Jungang High School.

On this day, Ahn Jae-hong said, "In reality, we are only 4 years older than Coach Yang-Hyeon Kang. We talked a lot with Coach Kang even before filming."

He added, "I increased my weight for external synchronization. I felt the need to integrate clothes, hairstyles, and various accessories to a high level."

Jaehong Ahn said, “What is more important is that I wanted to vividly capture the excitement and excitement that a young coach named Coach Kang had as he competed in this competition.”

Meanwhile, 'Rebound' will be released on April 5.
