Park Sung-woong talked a lot about acting with Woo Ji-won at the production presentation of 「Director Maeng's Haters」 held at the MBC headquarters in Sangam, Mapo, Seoul on the 22nd"He said "Uselessly handsome "
'Coach Maeng's Haters' (scripted by Kim Dam, director Hyun Sol-leaf) is a two-man game comedy in which professional basketball coach Maeng-gong (Park Sung-woong), who is on the verge of being kicked out due to poor performance, joins hands with his haters Hwajin (Clap-oh) for the team's performance.
As the work is set in the professional basketball world, it is expected that a large number of all-time legends representing the Korean basketball world will participate to maximize immersion by adding weight and expertise to the work.
Producer Hyun Pine Leaf "A lot of people helped me. Coach Moon Kyung-eun, coach Yang Dong-geun, coach Cho Sung-min, and player Woo Ji-won came out. He said in common that he wanted KBL to receive a lot of love. He came out with the hope that it would help develop KBL. I was surprised that there was no NG on the set. The shooting went smoothly."
The most prominent figure is Woo Ji-won, who recently started his second career as an actor. He is active in various fields such as plays and musicals, expanding his career from a former basketball player to an actor, and appears as the director of the professional basketball team 'Eight'.
Producer Hyun said, `Woo Ji-won started her career as an actor, not a special appearance. He said he wanted to appear in this work as an actor, so he's not on the list of special appearances. He expressed a lot of opinions and showed his efforts as an actor in the field. I think Park Sung-woong, who worked on the lines together, will have something to say.
Then Park Sung-woong "Woo Ji-won is the leader of the basketball festival. At that time, the basketball party was comparable to the popularity of the KBO now. You acted so well. I've known each other for a while, and we're friends because we're the same. We talked a lot about acting. He wants to be an actor, not a celebrity. That's why I used to give advice on my experience of 20 years of acting," he said, but laughed because he blurted his words, "'You're so handsome for no reason.'"
MBC's two-part Friday-Saturday drama 'Director Maeng's Haters' will meet with viewers on May 23 and 24.
