"Never once missed the worldwide top 10 chart! The final story of 'team Confidence Man' is coming!"
On the 12th (today), ahead of its finale, TV CHOSUN weekend miniseries The Confidence Man KR stars Park Min-young, Park Hee-soon and Joo Jong-hyuk left a warm final message to viewers ahead of the last episode, revealing their farewell impressions filled with gratitude for the precious time they spent meeting through various characters.
First, The Confidence Man KR dominated not only by never missing the worldwide top 10 (FlixPatrol 기준) after episodes 1 and 2 were released on Amazon Prime, which surpassed 200 million members, but as of the 11th it ranked in the worldwide top 8 and swept No. 1 in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand, demonstrating the strength of the first South Korean original on Amazon Prime. On Coupang Play, which ranks first among domestic OTTs in MAU (monthly active users), The Confidence Man KR proved its power over domestic and foreign OTTs by ranking in the top three, clearly No. 1 among dramas in this week's popular top 10.
In this regard, The Confidence Man KR leads Park Min-young, Park Hee-soon and Joo Jong-hyuk left a warm final message to viewers on the 12th (today) ahead of the finale.
First, Park Min-young, who proved her Pacific spectrum with a brilliant performance even in caper comedies as the leader Yoon I-rang of 'team Confidence Man,' who has a top 1% brain, said with regret, "We filmed with great care for about nine months, so I think I grew very fond of the work. As always, it's sad to part with all the staff and actors, and I think I could have done better, but this time I'm satisfied because I wore many outfits, transformed a lot and did everything I could as an actress without regret."
She also left a word for her character Yoon I-rang: "I-rang worked so hard, and the same goes for Gu-ho and James, but it was a little dizzying and complicated because I immersed myself in different characters each time, but thank you for doing it faithfully. I hope you can shake off your trauma and start anew," showing her affection for Yoon I-rang.
Park Min-young expressed gratitude to viewers who gave love with a bright farewell: "I hope people recognize that many people did their best so this can be a work without regrets, and I offer deep thanks to everyone who gave their love. This has been Yoon I-rang of The Confidence Man KR. Goodbye~!"
Park Hee-soon, who played James, the epitome of French chic and the team's spiritual pillar who showed a more colorful transformation show than anyone else, said, "After completing the nine-month journey, it was so much fun; it was hard, but it was rewarding. Playing various characters made the nine months fly by before I knew it. The scenes where the trio gathered to punish evil were very satisfying, fun and enjoyable," revealing that filming The Confidence Man KR was a happy memory.
Also saying, "Thanks for your hard work, Imseu hyung~! You were cool~!" while calling James by his nickname and giving a thumbs-up, Park Hee-soon replied to the viewers' passionate interest with a short but strong expression of gratitude: "Thank you so much to the viewers who loved The Confidence Man KR."
Joo Jong-hyuk, who played the youngest member Myeong Gu-ho of 'team Confidence Man,' delivering not only innocence and clumsy charm but also performances filled with pent-up emotion, said, "I can't really believe it's the last broadcast. The fun moments and the hard moments up to now flashed by, and I think I'll miss them a lot," expressing regret about the parting. Addressing his role Myeong Gu-ho, he offered encouragement: "You worked hard preparing for various roles, and although you were always the one who suffered between I-rang and James, you didn't lose that innocence and loved them to the end, so you worked so hard." Joo Jong-hyuk added, "I tried my best to portray other people and other characters. I'm so grateful that you liked those performances," responding to viewers who cheered for his various transformations.
The production team said, "The final story of The Confidence Man KR unfolds on the 12th (today)," and added, "Please look forward to how ConMan-style huge relief will unfold and the amazing final ending."
Meanwhile, the finale of The Confidence Man KR will be released simultaneously on TV CHOSUN and Coupang Play at 10:30 p.m. on the 12th (today), and globally it will be available in 240 countries and regions excluding Korea through Amazon Prime Video.
