'High Five's crew praises Lee Jae In for her dedication towards action scenes

Upcoming action fantasy K-movie High Five unveils stills featuring Lee Jae In.

High Five is a comic action film about five ordinary people who gain superpowers after getting organ transplants. They face off against those who are after them for their abilities. 

Lee Jae In takes on the role of Wan Seo in High Five, a nice and bold girl who loves taekwondo. She miraculously receives a heart transplant after a long illness and discovers that she now possesses extraordinary strength and lightning-fast speed as superpowers. Having spent her school years lonely without any friends, she meets Ji Seong, Seon Nyeo, Yak Seon, and Gi Dong, who, like her, following their organ transplants, gained superpowers. 

Lee Jae In stated, “Out of all the characters I’ve played so far, I have the highest synchronization with Wan Seo.” The actress is reported to have undergone 10 months of action training, from pre-production to filming, for her role as Wan Seo. She is said to have mastered everything from difficult wire action to taekwondo moves.

Director Kang Hyung Chul praised Lee Jae In, saying, “It’s not that she was some kind of exceptional acting genius, but she handled the action sequences so excellently that she received a lot of applause on set. You’ll be able to see a different side of Lee Jae In in this role.”  

Martial arts director Lee Geon Moon also complimented her, saying, “Even in high-difficulty wire action scenes, she never showed any signs of fatigue or pain and kept going until she was satisfied.” 

High Five is premiering on June 3.
