2008 South Korean film

Scandal Makers (Korean: 과속스캔들) is a 2008 South Korean comedy-drama film written and directed by Kang Hyeong-cheol and starring Cha Tae-hyun, Park Bo-young and Wang Seok-hyeon. This was director Kang’s first film and the highest grossing Korean film of the year.

Former teen idol Nam Hyeon-soo (Cha Tae-hyun) is now in his thirties and works as a radio DJ. A young woman named Hwang Jeong-nam (Park Bo-young) sends stories about her life as a single mother to the radio station Hyeon-soo works at, telling him she will meet her father. He then finds out that he’s her father when she shows up at his apartment with her son Ki-dong (Wang Seok-hyeon). She tells him that her real name is Jae-in and that her mother was Hyeon-soo’s first love Jeong-nam. Hyeon-soo doesn’t believe it at first, so they undergo a DNA test and the results confirm that they’re related. Jae-in dreams of performing on stage as a singer, but Hyeon-soo fears that if she does, their paternity scandal might get out. Because of Jae-in’s rising popularity, Ki-dong’s father Park Sang-yoon (Im Ji-kyu) finds her. They meet and chat, with Sang-yoon initially under the mistaken assumption that Jae-in is romantically involved with Hyeon-soo. When Ki-dong goes missing at Jae-in’s performance, Hyeon-soo realizes that he care for his daughter and grandson. After news about his daughter and grandson got leaked, he wasn’t faced with damage to his career due to taking responsibility for them in the first place, low popularity, and news about a disgraced film star beating up a scandal gossip journalist overshadowing Hyeon-soo’s revelation. With encouragement from Ki-Dong’s kindergarten teacher, he changes his image to a responsible older man, which is warmly received by everyone. At a Christmas recital, Sang-yoon reconciles with Jae-in and Ki-Dong, rekindling their love for each other.
