The voice phishing stronghold that Seo-Jun witnesses completely overturns the expectations of the audience, who had previously thought that they would fool their opponents with just a few phones. The existence of a large and densely organized voice phishing organization makes it difficult to see if there is any way we can escape from this crime. They illegally supply personal information suitable for so-called voice phishing crime planning, and those who are close to financial experts complete the realistic script.

It is a film that will be a powerful spectacle with fresh crime action created.

Seo-jun, a victim of voice phishing, risks his life for his family and colleagues and infiltrates the stronghold of voice phishing. Actor Byun Yo-han, who threw himself down for the movie, was perfect for the role of Seo-joon, who does nothing to find the voice of lawyer Kim Hyeon-soo, who only took everything from him. Seo-jun had to digest the most action scenes in the play. From the fight with the enemies in a swarm, to the rough chase scene from jumping off the roof of the building and climbing up the elevator, Byun Yo-han surprised everyone by digesting most of the action himself. Actor Kim Mu-yeol took on the role of Kwak Pro, who heralded the birth of a new villain that has never been seen before. Kwak Pro is a difficult character who has to show deep desire, coolness, and sophisticated evil in every line. Through constant thought and research, Kim Moo-yeol has created a new villain outside the typical villain who is attractive while uttering creepy words. Director Kim Seon and Kim Gok are saying that they thought that actor Kim Moo-yeol was really lucky to take on the role of Pro Kwak.

Kim Hee-won, who takes on the role of Kyu-ho Lee, an intelligent crime investigator who wants to root out the roots of voice phishing crimes, seeks advice from real detectives for the role, and if I am a real detective, I am deeply concerned about how to investigate and catch voice phishing crimes. immersed in Kim Hee-won, who had thought about how to get rid of voice phishing from the moment she first read the scenario, completely melted into the role of Lee Kyu-ho, who honestly carries out her mission to sweep the voice phishing organization while touching the victims' feelings of injustice. made it solid. Lastly, Park Myung-hoon, who shows the most distinct personality in Chungmuro, took on the role of Director Cheon, the absolute watcher of the call center. If Pro Kwak is the brain of the voice phishing base, Director Cheon takes on the role of limbs and leads the organization by creating a fearful atmosphere. Park Myung-hoon added his own color to the character of General Manager Chun by setting an ambiguous hairstyle that makes it difficult to know the nationality directly, and applying his characteristic intense eye smoke.

Byun Yo-han said, "Even if we didn't speak, we knew each other's positions accurately. Thanks to that, I was very happy while acting.” He said that the fresh combination of the four characters full of personality and the perfect chemistry of the four actors were excellent. In this way, <Voice> raises expectations that Byun Yo-han, Kim Mu-yeol, Kim Hee-won, and Park Myung-hoon, who newly met on the screen, will reveal their unique charms and fully demonstrate their synergy.
