'Actor Oh Jung-se revealed that he suffered a muscle strain while filming an action scene for '50 Percent'.

'On the afternoon of the 21st, a production presentation for the MBC Saturday-Sunday drama '50 Percent' (directed by Han Dong-hwa, written by Jang Won-seop) was held at the Golden Mouse Hall on Seongam-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul. Actors Shin Ha-kyun, Oh Jung-se, Heo Sung-tae, Kim Shin-rok, Lee Hak-ju, and director Han Dong-hwa attended.

'Oh Jung-se described his role in '50 Percent' as "Bong Je-soon, a secret agent who was once a human weapon but now lives without knowing his true identity."

'Regarding the chemistry with Shin Ha-kyun and Heo Sung-tae, who are of the same generation, Oh Jung-se said, "Each of us has our own story, and at some point, those stories converge. I felt a strong desire to meet them quickly."

'Oh Jung-se stated, "There was a situation where my muscles cramped during action scenes. It seems all the actors performed with that level of strain in mind. I am now healthier than anyone."

''50 Percent' tells the story of three men—Jung Ho-myung (played by Shin Ha-kyun), Bong Je-soon (played by Oh Jung-se), and Kang Beom-yong (played by Heo Sung-tae)—who appear ordinary but once had some flair, and are set in motion again by fate. It is a gritty action comedy about professionals who have run 50% of their lives, whose bodies may be rusted from life's hardships, but whose loyalty and instincts remain alive.

'Shin Ha-kyun plays Jung Ho-myung, a kitchen manager at a restaurant who has been on standby for 10 years while hiding his life as a National Intelligence Service agent. Oh Jung-se plays Bong Je-soon, a North Korean special agent who has lost his memory. Heo Sung-tae plays Kang Beom-yong, a former legendary gangster who is now a convenience store owner earning no hourly wage. Kim Shin-rok plays Kang Young-ae, the 'Prosecutor's Gisaeng' who chases justice like a bulldozer. Lee Hak-ju plays Ma Gong-bok, an organization member who once followed Kang Beom-yong and now works with him at the convenience store.

''50 Percent' will premiere on the 22nd at 9:50 p.m.
