[News] 130416 Lee Hongki’s Screen Debut in “Passionate Goodbye”
FTISLAND’s Lee Hongki stars as a troublemaker idol star for his first big screen debut in the movie “Passionate Goodbye”.
The movie “Passionate Goodbye” is set in a hospice, where incurable patients prepare themselves to leave this world. It is a human drama that talks about how the terminally ill patients held on to their final dreams together with the troublemaker idol singer.
Lee Hongki stars as Choong Ee, a star who receives community service order after getting involved in an assault. Though Choong Ee enjoys immense popularity among his fans, he is an impudent singer who gets into trouble easily. He lost his temper and threw punches which landed him in a hospital, doing volunteer service. With his consistently rude behaviour, he always gets in trouble with the volunteer-in-charge, Anna (starring Baek Jinhee), resulting in fiery nerve battles between the two.
Choong Ee promised to provide mentoring support to the patients who intends to take part in a rock band audition, on the condition of double-clocking his volunteer hours. As he watches the patients who make every effort to achieve their last dreams, he realises the hard work they’ve put in and treats them wholeheartedly.
Before his singing debut, Lee Hongki has build up his acting skills since he was a child actor. He has also accumulated experiences through dramas like “You’re Beautiful”, “Noriko goes to Seoul” and many others even after debuting with FTISLAND.
Lee Hongki wins high praises from movie director, Nam Taeksu, “He has the talent to be a great actor.” His active role together with collaborations with Ma Dongseok, Baek Jinhee, Im Wonhee, Jeon Minseo is no doubt one of the reasons not to miss this movie.
“Passionate Goodbye” will hit theaters on 30 May.
