Cha Eun Woo's upcoming film, First Ride, reportedly revealed its other main cast.

According to an April 10 report by K-media outlet My Daily, the plot and character details of the central cast of the friendship-focused movie have been revealed and its filming began on March 21, 2025.

The comedy movie revolves around four lifelong friends who finally embark on their first overseas trip together after they turn 30, setting off a chain of events. It will showcase their heartwarming bond and fun antics. Cha Eun Woo will play Yeon Min, one of the four friends, a charismatic character who is passionate about becoming a DJ at the World Music Festival but currently finds himself stuck at home, chasing his dreams from afar. Kang Ha Neul, Kim Young Kwang and Kang Young Seok are to star as the other three friends.


Kang Ha Neul is to take on the role of Tae Jeong, a high-achieving elite with impeccable looks, grades, and family background, but with one flaw—his perfectionism often gets in the way. Kim Young Kwang will make a comeback to the big screen as Do Jin, a former basketball player who once chased a life of glamour but finds new meaning through his friendship with Yeon Min. He is expected to bring the much-needed positive energy to the film. Kang Young Seok rounds out the group of friends by starring as Geum Bok.

Her character is expected to add humor and vitality to the story. With this talented ensemble, the film promises to deliver an engaging portrayal of friendship and self-discovery.
