2PM’s Chansung has joined the cast of Japanese director Eiji Uchida’s new film “Hold Me Tighter Than Anyone” (literal translation)! Eiji Uchida, a well-known Japanese director, is famous for his films “Midnight Swan” and “Silent Love,” as well as the Netflix series “The Naked Director.” Through “Hold Me Tighter Than Anyone,” which is based on Fuyuki Shindo’s novel of the same name, Uchida will continue to explore the themes of overcoming life’s challenges and forming connections through love, as he did in his previous films. In addition to Chansung, the cast will include Kubo Shiori, a member of Nogizaka46, and Miyama Ryoki, a member of BE:FIRST.
Chansung will play Lee Jae Hong, a young man who, despite his father’s urging to join the family business, follows his dream of becoming a chef in Japan. In the film, Mizushima Tsukina (Kubo Shiori), who owns a specialty children’s bookstore, lives together with Mizushima Yoshiki (Miyama Ryoki), an aspiring children’s book writer. Despite their deep bond and long relationship, Yoshiki struggles with obsessive-compulsive disorder and mysophobia, making even simple gestures like holding hands with Tsukina challenging.
Determined to get help, Ryoki meets Chiharu, a woman with similar symptoms, at the hospital. As they start sharing their struggles, Tsukina feels jealous. Meanwhile, Tsukina meets Lee Jae Hong, a man who is emotionally distant in his relationships.
