Director Ha Jung-woo's third film 'LOBBY' was released on December 27th last year.

Director Ha Jung-woo's third film 'Lobby', following his debut film 'Roller Coaster' and his second film 'Heo Sam-gwan', successfully completed three months of filming on December 27th. Ha Jung-woo, Kim Eui-seong, Park Byeong-eun, Park Hae-soo, Kang Mal-geum, Lee Dong-hwi, Kwak Sun-young, Hyun Bong-sik, Choi Si-won, Cha Joo-young, Kang Hae-rim, and Eom Ha-neul co-acted in the movie 'Lobby'. Chang-wook is perfect in research, zero in business, and knows even less about golf. This movie depicts the story surrounding the lobbying golf that (Ha Jung-woo) engages in to win a national smart road project.

Chang-wook and Gwang-woo, one-time best friends and rivals who fight to win the right to a large-budget national project, were played by Ha Jung-woo and Park Byeong-eun, respectively. Ha Jung-woo's Chang-wook has only work and study in his life. Golf is something I have never even been interested in. The once-in-a-lifetime event that befell him was playing golf for the first time. The two axes of A, which have the authority to make bid decisions, are Kim Eui-seong as Chief Choi, a veteran civil servant in charge of practical work, and Kang Mal-geum as Minister Jo, who is not interested in practical work but has great ambitions. The only thing they have in common is that they both love golf so much that they are at odds with each other. The story of ‘lobbying’ unfolds in earnest as Chang-wook and Gwang-woo decide on each of them as targets of lobbying.

Kwak Sun-young plays the role of Director Kim, Chang-wook's right-hand man who recommends golf, and newcomer Eom Ha-neul plays Chang-wook's younger cousin and soldier in charge, Ho-sik. Reporter Park, who introduces Director Choi to Chang-wook, is Dong-hwi Lee, and Hae-soo Park is the representative of August CC Golf Course, where the two teams will play rounds at the same time on the same day. Director Choi's favorite golfer, Jin Pro, who Changwook uses as a reinforcement for Lobby Golf, is a rookie Kang Hae-rim. Choi Si-won plays the former top star Ma Tae-soo, Minister Choi's favorite, who was brought in by Gwang-woo. Separate from this lobbying, Hyun Bong-sik will play the role of Father Garcini, whom the golf course CEO hires in hopes of lifting the green belt, and Cha Joo-young will play the role of Da-mi, Minister Choi's school junior and the golf course CEO's wife, in her first screen acting role. As to what results each individual's lobbying will lead to, 'Robby' already predicts an interesting character ensemble just by its casting.

Director Ha Jung-woo said, "I would like to express my gratitude for being able to make 'Lobby' at a time when Korean movies were not easy. There were a lot of lines and it was important to get them together in advance, so we held 10 readings starting in May, and the actors were so great. Thank you for your cooperation. It was a shoot where I realized once again that making a movie is truly a team effort with all the staff and actors working together. I feel like I received a huge gift and blessing. I did my best in post-production to make an interesting movie. “I will come see you later,” he said, expressing his gratitude for successfully completing the filming.

Director Ha Jung-woo's movie 'Lobby' is scheduled to reach audiences after going through post-production.
