Bang Sung-woong said in a press conference for the production of `Coach Maeng's Haters' at the MBC headquarters in Mapo-gu, Seoul on the 22nd, `He's playing the role of the basketball team's coach, and he's similar to coach Huh Jae,' `I always screamed on the spot.'
'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.
Against the backdrop of a professional basketball world that has not been easily encountered in dramas, it will effectively melt the pacey development and unpredictable situation unique to the compressed form of a one-act play to provide an intense sense of immersion.
Park Sung-woong's onslaught is a coach who leads the professional basketball team 'Big Pandas', and unexpectedly cooperates with the haters Hwajin as he is on the verge of eliminating the playoffs for three consecutive years.
Park Sung-woong is a coach who is in danger of losing the playoffs for the third consecutive year. To compare, he was a huge star player like coach Huh Jae, but he can't see the players make mistakes. It's a director who screams and yells. At home, she is faithful to her daughter because she is stupid. It was like me," he said, explaining the character.
Then "I always remember screaming at the scene. My voice was so husky. Just as there is unity in action, there is unity in the basketball scene. Sometimes I ad-libbed to get the real game free, and I go to the referee and scream 'It's a foul'. It came out so well. I think my true self came out," he said with a smile.
MBC's two-part Friday-Saturday drama 'Director Maeng's Haters' will meet with viewers on May 23 and 24.
