On February 27, the production team released character posters featuring Ha Jung-woo, Kim Eui-sung, Kang Hae-rim, Lee Dong-hwi, Park Byung-eun, Kang Mal-geum, Choi Si-won, Cha Joo-young, Park Hae-soo, and Kwak Sun-young.

'Lobby' follows Chang-wook (Ha Jung-woo), a startup CEO who only cares about research, as he steps into the unfamiliar world of lobbying golf in a desperate bid to secure a 4 trillion KRW government project.

The newly revealed character posters perfectly capture the film’s satirical and witty tone. Each actor’s unique expression—whether through a subtle smirk, a knowing glance, or a confident pose—highlights the sharp dialogue and dynamic performances audiences can expect. The tagline “Even if it’s dirty, let’s fight” sets the stage for the power struggles and mind games ahead.

Rookies vs. Veterans: A Battle of Lobbying Tactics

As Chang-wook struggles to compete against rival CEO Kwang-woo (Park Byung-eun), whose lobbying skills far outweigh his own technical expertise, he soon finds himself cornered. With his company’s future at stake, he enters the world of lobbying golf, an arena where deals are made and power is brokered.

The film draws humor and tension from the stark contrast between two very different teams:

✔ The rookie lobbying team, completely new to the world of high-stakes networking.

✔ The veteran lobbying team, experts in the art of persuasion and strategic connections.

From the posters alone, it’s clear that 'Lobby' is packed with colorful characters, sharp dialogue, and high-energy performances from some of Korea’s most in-demand actors.
