Kim Yoo-jung recently met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul, and was interviewed for the original TVing "Dear X" (Choi Jae-won, Ban Ji-woon, scripted by Lee Eung-bok, directed by Park So-hyun). Kim Yoo-jung mentioned the public love of Ajin and Ingang (Hwang In-yeop) in the play, 'Is it okay?' while filming, but it also seems to have made it seen as a dramatic element. The character Ajin says that his original plan is to be so hot and glamorous. I think it was expressed because it was aimed at that. As a result, I think the development of the case was maximized as the relationship with Ingang, the relationship with the grandmother, and emotions came out."
In particular, 'Dear X' introduces his girlfriend, Ajin, on a live broadcast to his fans. "I like him a lot. The scene of "My Ajin, please be pretty" was included, drawing a lot of people's pros and cons. In response to this, Kim Yoo-jung also "That's a little bit." That's too much. It's too much to "Rabang"," he said with a smile.
Kim Yoo-jung then said "I think the catchable part when such a scene comes out is a scene that expresses that Heo In-gang is really falling for Baek Ah-jin and is intertwined like this. It wasn't long for Ah-jin to drag Baek Ah-jin into the Hein River's boundary. It wasn't shown in detail, and I think it's a scene that showed that Ajin really spent this process to use it properly," he said with a smile.
'Dear X' tells the story of Baek Ah-jin (Kim Yoo-jung), a woman who wears a mask to climb to the highest point from hell, and Xs who are brutally trampled on her. It topped the list with new subscribers on the weekend for three consecutive weeks on TVing, and is also doing well in the global rankings.
According to the release of the global OTT ranking aggregation site FlixPatrol on the 23rd, Viki in the U.S. topped the list for three consecutive weeks and topped Disney+ in Japan. In addition, the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region once again proved the potential of K-content by ranking second in the top spot through StarzPlay. In addition, HBO Max is considered one of the highest performing titles among Asian works in 17 countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific, including Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
