Actor Lee Tae-young confessed that KBS 2TV's weekend drama "Eagle Brothers" (written by Koo Hoon-sook, directed by Choi Sang-yeol) is personally significant to him.
On the 27th, Lee Tae-young posted on his social media, "The reason this work, which marks my return after a long time, is so enjoyable is that I am working with my 24-year-long friend, actor Chae Song-hwa," adding, "While we are shooting, we are collaborating closely even on short lines, brainstorming various directions together. When we have individual scenes, we also play each other's manager roles. We consistently support each other in the shooting space."
He added, "Dreaming of being an actor, I met my friend in my second year of high school, and we lived together in a study room while working part-time at a convenience store, eating expired triangular gimbap, and challenging myself to enter the theater and film department. Passing through that journey, to be able to appear in this weekend drama as a disciple of senior Kim Dong-wan is truly amazing and I am grateful."
Additionally, he conveyed, "The path I must take as an actor is long and arduous, but simply being cast in a drama alongside a colleague and friend who went through tough times together gives me great courage. Therefore, I cannot help but confess that the shooting site of 'Eagle Brothers' brings us indescribable joy and gratitude."
In the drama, Lee Tae-young plays a character who was once famous as a back dancer but was fired and is now working as a disciple of Oh Heung-soo (played by Kim Dong-wan), teaching broadcast dance and Zumba at a cultural center. While running a galbitang restaurant, he is serious during moments of his main job but when he appears at Zumba dance, his hidden quirky side bursts forth, garnering attention from viewers as a comical character with aspects of a pink enthusiast.
Lee Tae-young, a graduate of Chung-Ang University, debuted in the 2011 film "Love Is Scary" and has appeared in films such as "Dancing Queen," "Stone," "The Ramen Girl," "Secret Love," and dramas like "Good Doctor," "What Is Love," "You Are My Time," "Run Towards Tomorrow," "Stormy Lovers," "Girl K," "Wow!", "Full House Take 2," "Shopping Family," "Tomorrow with You," and "House of Dolls" in leading and supporting roles.
Chae Song-hwa, who graduated from Yongin University's Department of Musical Theater, debuted in the 2009 drama "Primitive Family, Dutta Family" as the character 'Doraimo.'
