Netflix held a production presentation for the original entertainment show 'Devils Plan: Death Room' at a hotel in Mapo-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 29th. Producer Jeong Jong-yeon, Lee Se-dol, Kyu-hyun, Kang Ji-young, Yoon So-hee, Seven High, Lee Seung-hyun, Jung Hyun-kyu, Choi Hyun-jun, Chu, Kim Ha-rin, Park Sang-yeon, Son Eun-yu and Tino attended the event.
'Devils Plan 2' is an entertainment program that depicts a brain survival game in which players from various occupations stay together for 7 days to determine the best brain. Fourteen of the best players in each field are scheduled to play, up two players from season 1. In addition, the newly established prison movement is given a class meaning against live activities, signaling a more interesting brain game. Although prison-dong players cooperate to win over live players, it is expected that a new viewing point will be to compete with each other for survival and to form a cooperative competitive relationship as if dancing on a blade.
Producer Jeong Jong-yeon, who created season 2 following season 1, said "The residential building is divided into two areas: live activities and prison buildings. You go in half and half, and the players in the prison building play a prison match, and the death room is where the prison match is played. In a way, it looks simple, but in fact, I expected a very different color throughout the season, and I think that's what happened."
This time, there are 14 players together. Starting with Go legend Lee Se-dol, who won the world's attention by winning the match against AlphaGo, Justin H. Min, an actor loved by global fans for his versatile charms in various works such as Netflix 'Umbrella Academy' and 'Angry People'; Kyuhyun, a Super Junior member and active in all directions of the entertainment industry, JTBC's founding announcer and Kang Ji-young, who passed the AICPA certification exam; Yoon So-hee, a former KAIST actor who graduated from a science high school early; Choi Hyun-joon, a professional poker player and music producer Seven High; Lee Seung-hyun, a college student from Miss Korea, Jung Hyun-kyu, a influencer from Seoul National University who was recognized for MENSA Korea's IQ measurement of 156, and Chu, an eighth-year singer, were recruited. In addition, players selected through more than 1,000 competitors in the open recruitment of participants also add expectations. The unpredictable play of plastic surgeon Kim Ha-rin, 2021 International Physical Olympiad gold medalist Park Sang-yeon, M&A lawyer Son Eun-yu, and board game master Tino is also expected.
Producer Jung Jong-yeon said, `First of all, the 14 players were a little short of players because when we simulated, one person was basically eliminated every day. So I thought it would be nice to add about two people. Basically, it is important that these reality survival shows are diverse characters, so the more you prepare, the more fun you can find. Basically, I've always prepared for this season to look different from the previous season, or from other programs."
Participants will throw everything' is with the heart. Kang Ji-young, a former JTBC announcer, said "The game would be difficult and difficult, but there was a memorization-oriented game that it was worth trying. I thought it would be a rare opportunity if producer Jeong Jong-yeon made it. Even if I die, I think I did it with the intention that I should die fiercely, and that I would not just suffer from it, and that I had my own achievements. " Yoon So-hee and Chuu also said "I feel like I should do it fiercely.'
Lee Se-dol and Kyu-hyun's participation is a point that attracts viewers' expectations. In particular, the man who beat AlphaGo, Go legend Lee Se-dol, emerged as a strong candidate. Lee Se-dol "It's the first time I've felt a desire to win outside of the baduk." It felt difficult and hard to accept the newness in a new environment, but as I passed by, it was fun and I thought I was enjoying this"It's definitely more difficult to 'Devils Plan 2' than 'go.'"
Kyuhyun then came out " (I don't even know who I am). I don't think I can see it either. I've been in the entertainment industry for 20 years, and there's a mask I made. I found out that I was like this as I threw off that mask and saw the anger, resentment, and the sense of duty and justice I had that I didn't know. I think the fans might turn around, so that's what worries me the most."
Conscious of their expectations, producer Jung Jong-yeon also picked the two players as the most anticipated players. Producer Jeong Jong-yeon said "I contacted and met Lee Se-dol to see who the most curious character would be, and Lee Se-dol is really interesting to talk to." 'I'm not confident. There's a saying that says, "I'm confident in losing". If you watch a documentary about the life of Master Lee Se-dol or AlphaGo documentary, he talks very interestingly. He has a temperament like a matchmaker. There is a more adventurous part than the match because you usually have to win Go. I know you've recently developed a board game and prepared a poker player, but it feels like you're a dopamine addict. You feel like you're constantly waiting for a big game. Even when I came here, I was very scared because I thought the teacher was a difficult person, but he said a lot of things that hurt me whenever I opened my mouth, so it would be fun to see what Lee Se-dol said.
Producer Jeong then said, "Kyuhyun is also said to take off his mask, and Kyuhyun appeared as a guest during "Genius 2", but even then, he wore an iron armor and broadcasted because of his weight as a representative one-top idol leading SM." I was always worried and worried. 'What if I look weird?' I had that feeling, but I invited him with the mindset of seeing how he would do this season. Didn't you put it all down now. I decided to reveal all of Kyuhyun's real feelings. So what you really look like will be the key to watch."
Finally, Lee Se-dol does not seem to feel much pressure. I made an appearance thinking it was a good experience. When you really go into the set, you can feel that the production team really put their heart and soul into it. The game part was also very fresh. Because of that, I think we had fun playing games. I hope the viewers enjoy it while watching that" he said.
When asked if he felt pressured as the last human to beat AlphaGo, Lee Se-dol said, "Objectively, I know that ability well. I don't think there was such a big burden because I'm not that much of an overestimate of my ability.
'Devils Plan 2' will be released on Netflix on the 6th.
