'Unicorn' Shin Ha-kyun, bluff CEO stills revealed... Comic performance 'Expectation UP!'

 

 

Coupang Play sitcom <Unicorn> released the first stills that can give a glimpse of Shin Ha-kyun, who has transformed into a K-startup CEO.

 

Shin Ha-kyun, the 'God of Acting', returns with Coupang Play's sitcom <Unicorn>. Coupang Play sitcom <Unicorn> is a chaotic K-startup struggle between ‘Steve (Shin Ha-kyun), the CEO of McComb, and the crew.

 

Last year, he performed  in the drama <Monster> and won the Best Actor Award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, and performed enthusiastically in various works regardless of genre such as <Extreme Job>, <My Special Brother>, and <The Villainess>. Shin Ha-kyun, an actor who believes and sees, becomes the CEO of K-Startup through <Unicorn>. In <Unicorn>, Shin Ha-kyun, who plays the role of 'Steve', the CEO of a fictional K-startup McComb in the play, perfectly expresses a character made up of 1% inspiration and 99% bluff, creating a character that has never been seen before.

 

 

Packed with fancy words, but in reality, social media addiction related to the number of 'likes', anyone reveals that they are from a prestigious university within 10 minutes of their first meeting, and follows leading startups with a need for recognition, such as working in secret with a chairless standing desk. Shin Ha-kyun, who plays the role of 'Steve', who is united with bluffs , raises expectations by foretelling a unique character that can be cute for some and terrible for others, but can't be hated. Here, as a whim of not thinking back and forth, Pivoting, which is an absolute taboo for startups (changing existing business items and directions according to the rapidly changing external environment) as a hobby, is a K-startup in chaos with the McComb crew. Fighting will be presented.

Shin Ha Kyun Is The Only One Smiling Amongst His Team In New Poster For “Unicorn”

Shin Ha Kyun is the only one who is all smiles amongst his crew in a packed elevator!

 

Coupang Play’s upcoming original sitcom written by Yoo Byung Jae will follow the riveting tale of Steve (played by Shin Ha Kyun), the slightly mad mastermind behind McCom, and his crew as they navigate the chaotic battlefield of Korean start-ups.

 

The newly revealed poster catches the eye by showing Steve and the McCom crew in a packed elevator. The way Steve is smiling broadly with his index finger pointing to the top without being conscious of the surroundings gives a glimpse of his pretentious personality. The contrasting facial expressions of the other McCom employees, who seem used to Steve’s actions and do not even care, add to the hilarious atmosphere.

 

Ashley (Won Jin Ah), Jay (Lee Yoo Jin), Monica (Kim Young Ah), Kwak Sung Beom (Lee Joong Ok), Jessie (Bae Yoo Ram), Carol (Bae Yoon Kyung) and Philip (Kim Wook) each showcase different facial expressions and postures, making viewers more curious about the employees at McCom.

 

The text on the poster reads, “When everyone says NO, I say YES. This is what a K-start-up is,” heralding the emergence of an unusual K-start-up.

 

 

Coupang Play’s original sitcom “Unicorn” will air its first episode on August 26 at 8 p.m. KST.

‘Unicorn’ Shin Ha-kyun, if you get to know him, he has a glass mentality… CEO weeping secretly

 

 

Coupang Play sitcom <Unicorn> is raising expectations by releasing the first trailer introducing the fictional K-startup company McComb in the play.

 

The first trailer that was released stimulates curiosity with the appearance of McComb CEO 'Steve (Shin Ha-kyun)' asking about his differences from the myths of startups such as Elon Musk and Bill Gates. He seems resolute in spite of countless business failures, but in fact, he is the owner of a glassy mentality that sometimes sheds steamy tears in the office.

 

The trailer goes on to explain why this fictional company 'Maccom' is the best office worker. From cool horizontal organizations to open recruitment, visionary leaders, and a humorous work environment. At first glance, McComb, which looks like the best workplace, brings laughter by showing the world of K-startup that is different from the ideal with the ironic appearance of reality in contrast to Sagyu.

The bluff and madness of CEO 'Steve', who thinks he is McComb and acts according to his will, and the appearance of the daring McComb crew, who unconditionally oppose his opinion as usual and look at him, foretells a breath of excitement and raises expectations.  As the saying goes, “I will visit you with a spicy service that I always remember”, the curiosity about the very spicy K-startup that they will show off this summer is growing even more.

‘Unicorn’ Shin Ha-kyun, fighting like a startup CEO… Public Recruitment Video Release

 

 

Coupang Play sitcom <Unicorn> has opened its official website and attracted attention by preparing McComb's 2022 public recruitment video, magazine poster, and special participation event for viewers.

Coupang Play sitcom <Unicorn> is a chaotic K-startup struggle between ‘Steve (Shin Ha-kyun), the CEO of McComb, and the crew.

 

The McComb 2022 public recruitment video and magazine poster, released along with the website opening news, catches the eye and provokes laughter. Writer Yoo Byung-jae personally participated in the narration and added a special touch to the video, which is full of the sickness of McComb crews who started hiring publicly, showing off an unforgettable presence once you see them. From the watermark that seems to have used a free image as it is, to the clumsy CG and design that cannot be found as a professional skill, and the expression of the crew smiling forcibly behind 'Steve' who looks happy, he bursts into laughter and talks about the work.

CEO Shin Ha-kyun promotes his company vision in Coupang Play’s Unicorn

by tccolb

https://d263ao8qih4miy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/unicorntp.jpg

 

 

The first teaser is out for Coupang Play’s Unicorn as well as another fun spoof on business marketing ads, showcasing the drama’s Maccom company in all its low-budget glory.

The sitcom stars Shin Ha-kyun (Beyond Evil) as our megalomaniac hero, CEO Steve. As the founder and head of Maccom, he likes to dream big, no matter how wacky or grand his schemes are, and jumps in head first on all of his plans, even if others shake their heads.

 

Scrambling after him and trying to figure out logistics along the way are his more sensible team members: Won Jin-ah (Hellbound) in the role of Ashley, Lee Yoo-jin (Idol: The Coup) as Jay, and Kim Young-ah (Remarriage & Desires) playing Monica.

Other staff members include Lee Joong-ok (The Good Detective 2) as Kwak Sung-beom, Bae Yoo-ram (Moonshine) as Jesse, Bae Yoon-kyung (The King’s Affection) as Carol, and Kim Wook (The King: Eternal Monarch) as Philip.

 

 

The video teaser begins with CEO Steve’s big presentation about Maccom and he asks his staff, “Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and myself, Steve. What is the difference between these people?” The team is in disbelief, but one brave soul responds, “We suck!” Everyone else’s thoughts are revealed in the text screen: “We’re doomed…” But Ashley reassures the staff afterwards, “Don’t worry too much. When it comes to mental strength, he’s on another level compared to us.” But, alas, our CEO is curled up under his desk, sobbing to himself about what to do.

We then cut to a text screen that reads “Introducing Maccom,” followed by CEO Steve explaining that Maccom will deliver services that you always think of. In the following series of text screens, we’re taken through the company’s positive qualities, starting with: casual, lateral organization. Steve tells a bowing Jay, “Be comfortable, we’re all on the same level.” But his smile quickly falters when some staff start becoming a little too casual with their speech.

Open recruitment is point two, to which Jay confides, “At the club house, the CEO offered me twice my salary if I worked for him.” Ashley replies knowingly, “Oh, you’re a club recruit. Club recruits are from club houses and Insta-recruits are from Instagram.” From there, we move to point three: visionary leader. Carol complains that they’ll go out of business for not behaving like a real company and we see Steve asking his staff for any objections, only to shush them when everyone raises their hand.

This brings us to point four: working environment filled with humor. When Jay is late for work, CEO Steve initially reprimands him, “It’s only been how long since you started working here and you already show up late.” Continuing in a sillier voice, he sing-songs, “There are no lates.” The intermittent text screens describe Maccom as a somewhat odd Korean start-up with no troubles. (Heh!)

We then jump to Steve using an analogy in his presentation. Counting with his fingers, he says, “There are three types of geum [gold]: ‘so-geum’ [salt], ‘ji-geum’ [now]…” and he quickly apologizes when he realizes his mistake. Relentless, CEO Steve announces the start of a new project, but Ashley lets out her frustration saying, “Just once, can you not treat it like a joke?!” The teaser then closes on our CEO’s final admission, “Failure is Maccom’s other name.”

Directed by PD Kim Hye-young (Be Melodramatic) with writing done by comedian Yoo Byung-jae (The Superman Age), Coupang Play’s Unicorn will be airing Fridays starting August 26.

Premiere Watch: Good Job, Unicorn

by missvictrix

 

Woo hoo, new dramas! ENA is about to drop their next show, hot on the heels of Extraordinary Attorney Woo’s success, and Coupang Play offers an office sitcom that looks as colorful as its name.

 

Unicorn

 

https://www.dramabeans.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/unicorn_pc.jpg

 

Time slot: Fridays
Broadcaster: Coupang Play
Genre: Sitcom
Episode count: 12

Reasons to watch: Shin Ha-kyun’s drama choices garner attention for a reason, so it’ll be interesting to see how Unicorn turns out — not only being on a smaller OTT service, but also being a sitcom. Now, sitcoms are 100% Not My Thing, but even I will admit this drama has a lot going for it, from the cast (which also includes Won Jin-ah, Lee Yoo-jin, Kim Young-ah, and more) to the PD of Be Melodramtic to Yoo Byung-jae being our script writer. The promo materials have also been pitch-perfectly cringey, so I’m hoping they go all-in with their satire here.

TL;DR: Great cast, funny premise, the rare unicorn that is a primetime sitcom
