Cast of 'First Ride' try their best to include Cha Eun Woo at film premiere press conference

The cast of the new comedy film 'First Ride' tried their best to include fellow cast member Cha Eun Woo at the recently held press conference at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall. 

Earlier this week on September 25 KST, cast members including Kang Ha Neul, Kim Young Kwang, Kang Young Suk, and Han Sunhwa attended a press conference for the upcoming premiere of 'First Ride' along with director Nam Dae Joong. However, one cast member, Cha Eun Woo of ASTRO, was not able to attend the event, as he is currently carrying out his mandatory military service duties. 

To make up for his absence, the cast members instead brought in a body double(?). 

Additionally, All of the cast members also made sure to mention Cha Eun Woo whenever they had the chance. Director Nam Dae Joong commented, "All of the actors were excellent, and it was an honor to work with them. Particularly, Cha Eun Woo's character was a character that just would not have been possible if it weren't for Cha Eun Woo. So I was grateful he chose this project."

Meanwhile, 'First Ride' follows four friends (plus an intruder(?)) as they embark on their first overseas trip and find themselves tangled up in the wildest experience of their lives. The film is expected to premiere in theaters across South Korea on October 29 KST.
