On the morning of the 5th, Netflix held a production presentation for the new series 'Gwangjang' (played by organic Kim Joon-hyun, directed by Choi Sung-eun) at Ambassador Seoul Pullman Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul. Director Choi Sung-eun, actors So Ji-seop, Gong Myung, Chu Young-woo, An Gil-gang, Cho Han-chul and Lee Jun-hyuk attended the event.
Director Choi said, `I know it was the casting that fans of the original work wanted the most, but it was good that So Ji-seop did it. When that actor first met what kind of picture and what kind of face he would express when playing Nam Ki-jun, I was able to immediately catch what kind of emotion Nam Ki-jun would express. It was a very rich environment for me, who directed the series for the first time because all the other actors were also the best cast. I think the actors gave me really good materials, so I got the opportunity to make things that I wanted to make freely."
Square' is a noir action play in which `Kijun', who cut off his Achilles tendon and left the world of Square himself, returns after 11 years from the death of his younger brother 'Giseok', who was the organization's second-in-command, and digs into the background for revenge. Based on the webtoon of the same name, 'Plaza' will provide fun with an expanded narrative in addition to heavy action. Expectations are also high for the combination of actors from So Ji-seop, who returned to Noir Action for the first time in 13 years, to Heo Jun-ho, Gong Myung, Chu Young-woo, An Gil-gang, Cho Han-chul, Cha Seung-won, and Lee Jun-hyuk.
'Plazas' will be released on Netflix on the 6th.
