Oh Jung-se Steals the Spotlight with Versatile Roles in ‘HighFive’ and ‘Good Boy’

SEOUL — South Korean actor Oh Jung-se is commanding attention in 2025 with a string of dynamic performances across genres, solidifying his status as a go-to talent for diverse roles.

In March, Oh made a memorable appearance in Netflix’s The 8 Show as Yeom Byung-chul, the stepfather of Oh Ae-soon (IU). Despite limited screen time, his nuanced portrayal of a flawed yet oddly endearing character left a lasting impression, amplifying the series’ emotional depth.

Oh’s comedic chops take center stage in the film HighFive, which hit theaters on May 30. Playing Jong-min, a former national taekwondo coach and devoted father, he brings humor and heart to the story. His protective antics and unwavering dedication to his daughter Wan-seo (Lee Jae-in) create a charming father-daughter dynamic, infusing the movie with warmth and laughs.

Simultaneously, Oh is set to deliver a chilling contrast in JTBC’s new Saturday-Sunday drama Good Boy, premiering May 31 at 10:40 p.m. KST. As Min Ju-young, a customs officer by day who moonlights as Inseong City’s ruthless underworld kingpin, Oh transforms into a menacing villain. His icy, commanding presence is poised to anchor the drama’s high-stakes narrative, showcasing his ability to embody absolute evil.

Oh’s seamless shifts between relatable everyman and sinister antagonist highlight his remarkable range. Whether evoking laughter or dread, he fully inhabits each role, earning his reputation as a “trustworthy actor.” With HighFive now screening nationwide and Good Boy set to captivate TV audiences, Oh Jung-se’s polar-opposite performances are generating major buzz.
