About Family is an upcoming comedy-drama film about Ham Moo Ok, the owner of a popular dumpling restaurant named Pyungmanok. He believed his family line ended when his only son, Ham Moon Seok, chose the monastic life of sacrifices. However, one day he suddenly finds himself living with unexpected grandchildren he didn’t know he had.
Seasoned actor Kim Yoon Seok is set to play the role of Ham Moo Ok, while Lee Seung Gi will add depth to this family comedy with his striking transformation as monk Ham Moon Seok.
He breaks away from his father to live a life of sacrifice and soon rises to popularity as a beloved superstar monk. However, just when his life seemed to be perfect, a sudden scandal revealed during a live broadcast unfolded his secret past and hidden children.
Regarding his character, Lee Seung Gi said, “When I found out that Kim Yoon Seok, an actor I’ve always respected, was joining the film, I didn’t need much time to think about it. Given the excellent script, I felt there was no reason to hesitate about shaving my head.” Yang Woo Seok, who is directing the film, also praised the actor’s dedication, saying that he was the first choice for this character.
With this stellar cast ensemble, About Family is set to commence its theatrical run on December 11.
