Kang Ha Neul, Kim Young Kwang, and ASTRO’s Cha Eun Woo face backlash over their roles in the upcoming K-Film The First Ride.
In the teasers, the high-profile cast portrays high school students, which has raised eyebrows among fans. Critics point out that the actors, at their ages, look too mature for teenage roles.
Fans were quick to defend the project, clarifying that while some scenes feature the stars as teenagers, the main plot centers around a group of friends who dreamed of traveling abroad. They reunite as adults after time apart to finally embark on the trip of a lifetime.
Despite the controversy, anticipation for The First Ride remains strong as the release date approaches. Fans are excited to see how the blend of nostalgia and adult themes will play out on screen.
