Ahn Seong-gi Charms in "My New Partner"
Veteran actor Ahn Seong-gi returns with another leading role in comedy-caper "My New Partner ", opening March 6 across Korea. AHN is a face familiar to audiences of all ages, with a screen career that spans some 50 years. By the mid-80's he was Korea's most bankable lead, starring in many of the decade's top films.
In "My New Partner ", AHN plays Min-ho, a veteran police detective who winds up teaming with his estranged son Yeong-joon (played by Jo Han-seon ), a cold-hearted cop fresh on the job. The pair have a chance to mend their damaged relationship as they try to crack a big drug case in Busan.
Actor AHN has appeared in over 100 films, winning numerous awards and working with top directors such as Im Kwon-taek , Bae Chang-ho , LEE Chang-ho, Park Kwang-su and Lee Myeong-se . His most recent films include "May 18" (2007), "Radio Star " (2006), "Hanbando " (2006), "Duelist " (2005) and "Silmido " (2003).
My New Parnter has already drawn positive reviews from the local press for its fine pacing and AHN's superb acting. The film is directed by Kim Jong-hyeon who made his directing debut in 2004 with "Super Star Mr. Gam". KM Culture produced the film and is handling its international sales.
