This is a look at Cho Jung-seok's comedy acting history that the comedy film pilot (directed by Kim Hang-yeol, produced by Shortcake and Movirak) believes in.

Cho Jung-seok, whose modifier 'Trust and watch' is not awkward, has returned to 'pilot'. It received explosive favorable reviews through the premiere and ranked No. 1 in movie reservation rate three days before its release, and was selected as a movie that will provide a cool smile to the theater this summer.

The movie was able to gain word of mouth and expectations because Cho Jung-seok, who showed new acting every time, showed a more advanced performance with 'pilot'. We look at Cho Jung-seok's filmography, which has built his own experience in various works, but has proven his unique ticket power, especially in the comedy genre.

First of all, Cho Jung-seok's comedy box office hit began with 'My Love My Bride' released in October 2014. Cho Jung-seok, who emerged as a screen blue chip through 'Architecture Introduction'Visual' at the time, demonstrated his box office success by mobilizing 2.14 million viewers with his performances filled with actors Shin Min-ah and the newlywed couple's breath to the touching ending. Two years later, Cho Jung-seok made a screen comeback with 'Hyung', which drew 2.98 million viewers nationwide. At that time, when the popularity peaked with the role of the unflattering macho in the drama 『Jealousy Incarnation", 'hyung" transformed into a dark fraudulent Doo-sik and presented a comic performance. In particular, in 'Hyung', Cho Jung-seok showed a comedy that eliminated the audience's soul by portraying Doo-sik's fraud with his brilliant lines and excellent quickness.

Three years later, in 2019, he returned to the role of a young unemployed Yong-nam in the salty and explosive disaster action comedy 'Exit' to show a thrilling chemistry with Lim Yoon-ah. In 'Exit', Cho Jung-seok performed a very salty performance that burst into laughter, runny nose, and tears. In particular, Yongnam's character, completed with his natural stunt skills and instinctive sense, recorded 9.42 million viewers in the summer of 2019, showing his loveliness that made everyone want to cheer.

He, who has pioneered his own genre by adding a spoon of Cho Jung-seok on top of the comedy genre, will return to the screen after five years with 'pilot'. As revealed in the released Sunjae, the setting of making a drastic transformation must have been the biggest barrier in deciding to appear. However, as soon as Cho Jung-seok read the scenario of 'pilot', he was sure that the pleasant laughter and the deep resonance contained in it would impress the audience greatly when implemented on the screen. Thanks to the characters of Han Jung-woo and Han Jung-mi, which were created by his challenge, the pre-audience reaction is also explosive.



"Cho Jung-seok is in! An actor that can be described as a genre!", "It's by far the best movie I've seen in recent years" and "I think it's been a while since I've seen a movie with good chemistry with all the characters!" Audiences who participated in the premiere are receiving favorable reviews full of laughter.

Completed with Cho Jung-seok's challenge and excellent performance, 'pilot' will provide valuable laughter to the theater this summer.



'Pilot' is a story about a man who became unemployed overnight in a star pilot and succeeded in re-employment after a drastic transformation. Cho Jung-seok, Lee Joo-myung, Han Seon-hwa, and Shin Seung-ho appeared, and director Kim Han-kyul of 「Most Ordinary Love」 took the megaphone. It will be released on the 31st.
