Upcoming Comedy Film 'About Family' Unveils Character Posters, Promises Laughter

The film 'About Family' has released five character posters, promising a big laugh.

'About Family' is a family comedy about the unexpected cohabitation that ensues when adorable grandchildren, never seen before, visit the owner of a famous dumpling restaurant, Pyong Man-ok (played by Kim Yoon-seok), whose family line is at risk of ending because his son (played by Lee Seung-gi) has become a monk. The movie, set to showcase a chaotic family universe this winter, has unveiled five character posters that hint at a parade of blockbuster characters. The unique images of each character played by actors Kim Yoon-seok, Lee Seung-gi, Kim Sung-ryung, Kang Han-na, and Park Soo-young pique curiosity about the film.

Kim Yoon-seok, playing the role of Ham Moo-ok, is shown happily asleep in front of a soju bottle, depicting an 'alcohol trash' moment. Through 'About Family', Kim Yoon-seok not only challenges the comedy genre for the first time in his filmography but also takes on the so-called 'alcohol trash' character. His character is left devastated by a drink offered by his grandchildren, with the line "Moon-seok, this is the best birthday gift of my life" adding to the humor.

Lee Seung-gi, who shaved his head without hesitation for 'About Family', portrays the detailed character of head monk Ham Moon-seok, whose monk career is on the verge of collapse due to the karma of his worldly past. His line "Karma! Karma!" and his surprised expression arouse curiosity about what has happened to this family. Additionally, characters like Kim Sung-ryung as Bang Yeo-sa, the real power behind Pyong Man-ok, Kang Han-na as Moon-seok's best friend Han Ga-yeon, and Park Soo-young as Moon-seok's fellow monk In-haeng enrich the film, raising expectations for 'About Family'.

'About Family' is set to meet audiences with its theatrical release on December 11 this winter.
