'Actors Shin Ha-kyun, Oh Jung-se, and Heo Sung-tae have reunited for "50 Percent."

'The 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 of MBC on Seongam-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul, on the afternoon of the 21st. Actors Shin Ha-kyun, Oh Jung-se, Heo Sung-tae, Kim Sin-rok, Lee Hak-ju, and director Han Dong-hwa attended.

'Shin Ha-kyun, who plays the role of Jung Ho-myung in "50 Percent," stated, "He is an agent of the National Intelligence Service who has hidden his identity for 10 years and is searching for the object that framed him."

'Shin Ha-kyun and Oh Jung-se previously acted together as a villain duo in the film "Extreme Job." Regarding their reunion in "50 Percent," Shin Ha-kyun said, "Their character relationship is not good, so it will be fun," while Oh Jung-se added, "We worked together briefly before, but this time we worked together for a longer period, making the filming enjoyable."

'Shin Ha-kyun was born in 1974, while Oh Jung-se and Heo Sung-tae were born in 1977, forming a cast of peers in their "fifty years of life." When asked about the chemistry they felt with each other, Shin Ha-kyun said, "They are rivals with a poor relationship, and the point is the process of them merging into one. It seems like the comedy setup will work well."

'Shin Ha-kyun added, "Oh Jung-se is always new. Every time I see him on set, he shows a new character. Although we haven't worked together for a long time, I thought, 'This friend has such a side.' Heo Sung-tae doesn't say much, but when he acts, he shows various performances, so I was very grateful."

'"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 spirit, 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 being pushed around by the world, but whose loyalty and instincts remain alive.

'Shin Ha-kyun plays Jung Ho-myung, a kitchen manager at O-ran Banjeom who has been on standby for 10 years while hiding his life as an agent of the National Intelligence Service. Oh Jung-se plays Bong Je-soon, a North Korean special operative who has lost his memory. Heo Sung-tae plays Kang Beom-yong, a former legendary gangster who is now a convenience store owner who doesn't even earn an hourly wage. Kim Sin-rok plays Kang Young-ae, a "prosecutor's Geon-gae" who chases justice like a bulldozer, and Lee Hak-ju plays Ma Gong-bok, an organization member who followed Kang Beom-yong and now works with him at the convenience store.

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