Red Velvet’s Irene and Shin Seung Ho participated in a press conference ahead of the premiere of their new film “Double Patty”!
“Double Patty” is a coming-of-age film about young people chasing their dreams and embarking on a relatable journey of growth and development. Irene stars as Lee Hyun Ji, an aspiring anchorwoman who works tirelessly to achieve her dream, while Shin Seung Ho plays Kang Woo Ram, a former
ssireum (Korean wrestling) athlete.
At the press conference held via livestream on February 10, director Baek Seung Hwan introduced the film as a “production that tells the story of two youths running in parallel lines toward their goals and dreams.” Describing how the film got its peculiar title, he explained, “When you think of youth, hunger also comes to mind. Food makes multiple appearances in our film, as if to say, ‘Let’s have a meal.’ I personally like hamburgers, and I usually don’t just eat a single patty. The title ‘Double Patty’ was decided as I wanted to convey the message of, ‘Just one isn’t enough.'”
