The production presentation of Disney+'s original series "Gangnam B-Side" was held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 30th. Actors Cho Woo-jin, Ji Chang-wook, Ha Yoon-kyung, Kim Hyung-seo (Bibi), and director Park Nuri attended.
"Gangnam B-side" is a chase crime drama between a detective and a prosecutor looking for the club ace "Jae-hee" who disappeared from Gangnam, a mysterious broker, and three people entangled for different reasons to pursue the case behind Gangnam.
Director Park was the first in the lineup of performers to cast Kim Hyung-seo, adding, "I was deeply impressed to see him sing 'Letter' on the audition program, and then I had a meeting in the early days of the script after obtaining intelligence that he was acting. I read with a short script, and the moment I took my mouth off, I thought it was Jaehee. The latter part was so perfect that I wrote the script for actor Hyungseo," he said.
Cho Woo-jin, who plays the role of Kang Dong-woo, a detective who jumped into the case for justice, said, "These days, I heard that he is a friendly and affectionate man, Yo-A-jung, and I tried to fit it."
He then said, "There was a director's direction that he wanted to be heavy externally, so I broke my highest weight since I was a senior in high school. I gained 18 kilograms and did weight and bulk up," he stressed.
Ji Chang-wook plays Yoon Gil-ho, an outlaw who dominated the Gangnam area and a mysterious broker who became a suspect himself.
Ji Chang-wook said, "I live as a broker in Gangnam and struggle to find it due to my relationship with Jae-hee. "I met a character named Kang Dong-woo, and he became increasingly caught up and changed as the case progressed," he explained.
He also said, "I paid a lot of attention from costumes to makeup to express the character living fiercely on the floor. If you look at his face, he is so hurt that there is no normal face. I set up a wound about what I was doing and who I was continuing to fight with. I set it up much stronger than what I usually wear because I wanted it to look unusual and dangerous and weird when I'm with people," he said.He also shared his extraordinary relationship with head coach
Park. Ji Chang-wook said, "What's really amazing is that I worked with the director's mother. My mother is an actor. He drew attention by saying, "You came out as my mother-in-law in 'The Worst Evil'."
He also said, "Even the director's younger brother appears in the Gangnam B-side work," and added, "Now I can see it as a director and family."
Ha Yoon-kyung played Min Seo-jin, a rank-and-file prosecutor who had to survive in the organization without any connections.
Having previously played the role of a doctor and lawyer, he said, "I actually met people who worked at the prosecution, asked what the prosecution culture was like, and referred to styling. In fact, prosecutors wear achromatic colors and don't wear fancy clothes. I referred to it a lot," he said.
Kim Hyung-seo is a key figure in the disappearance case and a club ace, Jae-hee, who holds the huge substance behind it.
Kim Hyung-seo said, "Jae-hee is a person who is in a veil. He is a person who acts as the beginning of the case, and acts like a sinner even though he is not a sinner," he said.
As for the track and field scene of running through the middle of Gangnam in a red mini-dress, he said, "I ran in high heels, so my pelvis hurt later."
"Even though it's cold, running makes me feverish. I went home after filming, and I was glad that I lost some weight. I ran for about 10 hours and fell into it," he added, drawing laughter.
As a point to watch, he said, "There is a saying that even a small mouse under the food chain bites when pushed into a corner, and I think it is a character that fits that."
It will be released for the first time on November 6th.
