Actor Cha Joo-young (35) avoided a clear answer regarding the level of exposure.

On the morning of the 13th, Cha Joo-young met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and held an interview with the end of tvN X TVing original drama 'Wonkyung' (written by Lee Young-mi, directed by Kim Sang-ho) and expressed his thoughts on the exposed scenes that appeared in the drama.

Cha Joo-young said of the high water level of 'Twilight', which was rated as a non-viewable under the age of 19, `I seem to be a courageous person when it comes to boldness. I have no hesitation in interpreting and showing the characters, but we were careful when we tried to do things about people who were too well known, and there must have been a lot of agreement, but there was definitely something that was calculated among us. But I was confident that I could solve it with the rest of the story. Of course, I know there must have been things that made me think 'what kind of thoughts' In any case, the main point was the love story of the Joseon royal couple. I think we wanted to show everything. I knew that some could hear 'That was a good attempt' and some could hear 'How much ', and there was a lot of trouble and misunderstanding, but as a result, there was a part in which I tried to do my best and second best.'




There was also a lot of talk about exposed shoes. Cha Joo-young said, "(It's a shame that only the exposure was highlighted)," and added "I know you don't like this story, but it's a shame." Seeing only what I want to see, I thought I should be persuaded to some extent by dealing with real people, even if I don't care. Simultaneous broadcasting is also unfortunate. Usually, it's shown on the platform after the main broadcast, but you have to watch it after you pre-release everything in that parking. If each channel gets anything (you have to understand)".

'Wonkyung' was controversial in the 1st and 2nd episodes when the main actors Cha Joo-young and Lee Da-dam's unconventional exposure scenes were captured. On tvN, the scene was deleted in accordance with the 15-year-old viewing price, but on TVing, it became a hot topic with explicit exposure in accordance with the 19-year-old viewing price. After the exposure scene, some people responded whether it was an essential scene. The reason was that even if the scene was picked up, it was not unreasonable to watch and understand 'Wonder'. In addition, when filming this scene, the actors wore clothes and filmed it, and it is rumored that the actor took off his clothes and dressed him with CG. In response, the two actors' agencies demanded editing, but the production team did not accept it.

However, it was confirmed that there was a prior consultation with the actors according to the explanation of Studio Dragon, the production company. It is contrary to the position of the agency, which blamed the production team as if it had not heard the explanation. Studio Dragon opened up and casted the TVing version from the beginning, saying that it will be produced with a rating of 'youth viewing'. It was also open that there was an exposure scene. Regarding the level of exposure, there are parts conducted for each actor depending on the character and the characteristics of the scene, and the agency and each actor were consulted for each stage of production.




When I asked Cha Joo-young 'Did you know the level of exposure in advance?' he said "I don't want to talk about it" There was no reluctance to talk about the couple's bedroom, and I wanted to do something if there was anything I could do. The rest of the story was too much for me to talk about at once"It only left a meaningful story, causing misunderstanding.

"Wongyeong" is a story about a king and a queen who gained power with her husband, King Taejong, and her husband and wife. Cha Joo-young played Queen Won-kyung (Cha Joo-young), who won power with Taejong Lee Bang-won (Lee Hyun-wook) in the play. 'Wonkyung' ended in favorable reviews, recording a 6.6% viewer rating in the final episode. (National standard for Nielsen Korea paid households)
