Oh Jung-se Shines with Versatile Roles in 2025

Oh Jung-se: A Stellar Year

Veteran actor Oh Jung-se is capturing the hearts of audiences with his diverse roles in the first half of 2025. Known for his ability to adapt to various genres and characters, Oh’s career is continuously on an upward trajectory.

#### Netflix’s My Liberation Notes

In the March release of Netflix series My Liberation Notes, Oh made a brief yet impactful appearance as ‘Yeom Byeong-cheol’, the stepfather of Oh Ae-soon (played by IU). His portrayal, marked by complex layers, left an impression despite limited screen time.

#### Comedy and Drama Combined

With today’s release of Hi.5, a comedy film, Oh plays ‘Jong-min’, a former national Taekwondo champion. His portrayal of a loving father to daughter Wan-seo (played by Lee Jae-in) is expected to bring smiles and warm the audience’s hearts. The father’s concern for his daughter and their heartwarming chemistry is set to resonate deeply with viewers.

#### Transitioning to Villainy

Contrasting his role in Hi.5, Oh will present a darker side in tomorrow’s premiere of JTBC’s Good Boy. By day, his character is a customs officer, but by night, he morphs into ‘Min Joo-young’, a sinister figure controlling the fictional city of Inseong. His chilling portrayal promises to be a highlight of the drama, offering a starkly different experience.

Oh’s ability to fully embody these distinct roles provides further testament to his reputation as a ‘trustworthy actor’. Whether he’s making audiences laugh or gripping them in suspense, his transformation between such extreme roles is eagerly anticipated. Hi.5 is now playing in theaters nationwide, while Good Boy premieres tomorrow, January 31, at 10:40 PM on JTBC.
