What is claimed is: 1. A teleconverter optical system comprising: a first lens having positive refractive power; a second lens having negative refractive power; a third lens having positive refractive power; a fourth lens having negative refractive power; and a fifth lens having positive refractive power; wherein the first to fifth lenses are sequentially disposed in numerical order from the first lens to the fifth lens from an object side of the teleconverter optical system to an image side of the teleconverter optical system; the fourth lens is bonded to either one or both of the third lens and the fifth lens; an expression 1000<f/D is satisfied, where f is an overall focal length of the teleconverter optical system, and D is a distance from an object-side surface of the first lens to an image-side surface of the fifth lens; and the teleconverter optical system has a magnification of two times or more. 2. The teleconverter optical system of claim 1 , wherein an expression 26<D<45 mm is satisfied. 3. The teleconverter optical system of claim 1 , wherein an expression f-number <2.0 is satisfied, where f-number is an f-number of the teleconverter optical system. 4. The teleconverter optical system of claim 1 , wherein the object-side surface of the first lens is convex. 5.
