Lee Jang-woo, movie dubbing challenge

Actor Lee Jang-woo participates in Korean dubbing as 'Garfield' in the movie 'Garfield the Movie.'

Lee Jang-woo was revealed to be Korea's Garfield in 'Garfield the Movie', which will be released on May 15th. ‘Garfield the Movie’ is a rough adventure that begins when Garfield, a domestic cat who has never been outside before, is thrown into the outside world for the first time.

Korean Garfield, who attracted great attention by revealing his dubbing voice and silhouette on the 18th, is finally taking off his veil. The main character of the topic is none other than the all-round entertainer Lee Jang-woo. Lee Jang-woo, who has been active in all fields across dramas and entertainment programs, plans to portray 'Garfield', who is tough but has a superficial charm that cannot be hated, with surprising synchronization. Lee Jang-woo will bring his acting experience to life in his first dubbing role for 'Garfield', which has already garnered attention due to Chris Pratt's voice casting, and deliver a delicious performance. Regarding being chosen to voice the Korean dubbed version of the world's most loved cat character 'Garfield', Lee Jang-woo said, "It is an honor to act as the voice of the main character of an animation that I have always loved. I was comfortable and felt a sense of kinship because I was able to play characters that I thought were very similar. “I hope you can enjoy Lee Jang-woo and Garfield to your heart’s content in theaters in May,” he said, raising expectations.

Along with the news that Lee Jang-woo's Korean dubbing for Garfield has been confirmed, the 'Fam You Cat Lee Jang-woo ASMR video', which gives a preview of his dubbing performance, has been released and is attracting attention. Lee Jang-woo's voice, which boasts perfect synchronization, is added to the sight of 'Garfield' showing off his own cooking and mukbang, doubling the fun even more. It seemed like he cooked the dish perfectly, but like the video that captures the strange 'Garfield' that produced surprising results in Lee Jang-woo's unique whispery ASMR voice, it raises curiosity about Lee Jang-woo's new voice that will be shown in 'Garfield the Movie.' Lee Jang-woo plans to excite fans by announcing not only Korean dubbing but also various contents and events.

‘Garfield the Movie’ will be released on May 15th.
