Lezhin Snack

Actor Kim Shin-bi is set to showcase the unvarnished appeal of real-life youth in ‘The Father of the Baby Is a Male Friend’, which is released on the 4th.

Lezhin Snack ‘The Father of the Baby Is a Male Friend’, starring Kim Shin-bi, is a wildly chaotic romantic comedy about a male and a female friend who have neither dated nor married yet co-parent together. It drew attention as a new short drama by director Lee Byung-hun, who helmed the films ‘Extreme Job’, ‘Twenty’, and the series ‘Be Melodramatic’. In the previously released official trailer, Kim Shin-bi is shown receiving permission to marry with cheerful expressions and lines, further heightening the curiosity of prospective viewers.

Ahead of the release of ‘The Father of the Baby Is a Male Friend’, attention is already focusing on the performance that Kim Shin-bi will deliver. He plays ‘Gu-in’, who one day suddenly receives an absurd proposal from his ‘female friend’ Jae-a (played by Choi Hyo-ju) to become the ‘father of the baby’. From the easygoing sides of a ‘male friend’ to a fluttering romance between friendship and love, and warm family affection, Gu-in is expected to lead the story as he gradually grows and builds a sense of responsibility, capturing the character’s multifaceted nature. Moreover, Kim Shin-bi is poised to portray the trials and errors of real-life youth with candor through sly eyes, comic emotional expression, and a keen knack for embodying character, drawing even greater interest.

Having thus signaled a fresh transformation through ‘The Father of the Baby Is a Male Friend’, Kim Shin-bi has handled a wide array of genres with works such as the film ‘Crime City 4’, KBS 2TV ‘I Took the Male Lead First Night’, tvN ‘Thank You’, SBS ‘Chaebol X Detective’, ‘Evil Spirit’, ‘Cheer Up’, and the Netflix series ‘Model Family’, growing as a ‘next-generation prospect’.

Last year, he visited the ‘30th Busan International Film Festival (BIFF)’ and shared sincere stories with audiences through a GV for the film ‘Truman Love’. As Kim Shin-bi imprints his presence and broadens his field of activity, expectations are soaring for what kind of performance he will show in ‘The Father of the Baby Is a Male Friend’, and for the special laughter and emotion he will deliver.

‘The Father of the Baby Is a Male Friend’, featuring Kim Shin-bi, will have all episodes available on the 4th through ‘Lezhin Snack’.
