Actor Park Jung-min has transformed once again. Park Jung-min meets Song Kang-ho in the movie '1 Victory' (directed by Shin Yeon-shik). He has transformed into 'Kang Jung-won,' a second-generation chaebol and professional attention seeker. From book publishing to frequent SNS live broadcasts, he does whatever comes to mind.
Despite having no knowledge of volleyball, Kang Jung-won acquires the pro women's volleyball team 'Pink Storm,' which is on the verge of disbanding, simply because it's cheap. He recruits Kim Woo-jin (played by Song Kang-ho), whose career winning percentage as a coach is less than 10%, as the team's new coach.
He gains attention by making a bold promise to give 2 billion won in prize money if 'Pink Storm' can achieve just '1 victory' throughout the season. He showcases his brilliant marketing skills.
Park Jung-min revealed, "I wanted to portray a type of team owner that has never been seen before." It is said that he went through extensive discussions with the staff regarding costumes and makeup to deviate from the typical appearance of a team owner.
He reunites with director Shin Yeon-shik following 'Dongju.' Director Shin commented on Park Jung-min, saying, "He has become more diligent and grown into a better actor," and described him as "a new way of portraying the actor Park Jung-min."
'1 Victory' portrays the story of a pro women's volleyball team, which includes a coach who has never won, an owner with no intention of winning, and players who don't know how to win, as they challenge for their first victory. It will be released in theaters this December.
