Actor Jung Woo-sung meets viewers with "Made In Korea" after the out-of-wedlock child scandal.
On the morning of the 15th at the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, a production press conference was held for Disney+'s new series "Made In Korea." The press conference was attended by director Woo Min-ho along with actors Hyun Bin, Jung Woo-sung, Woo Do-hwan, Seo Eun-soo, Won Ji-an, Jung Sung-il, Kang Gil-woo, Noh Jae-won, and Park Yong-woo.
"Made In Korea" is the story of Baek Ki-tae (played by Hyun Bin), who seeks to make the state a revenue model to reach the pinnacle of wealth and power, and prosecutor Jang Geon-young (played by Jung Woo-sung), who pursues him to the brink with terrifying persistence, confronting massive events that span the era in a Korea of the 1970s, when chaos and leaps forward coexisted. It is composed of six episodes and will be released on Dec. 24.
On that day Jung Woo-sung stood at an official domestic event for the first time since the out-of-wedlock child scandal that surfaced in November last year. He acknowledged that model Moon Gabi's son is his biological child, becoming embroiled in a private life controversy, and later drew further attention when it became known that he had registered his marriage with a long-term partner. Jung Woo-sung said at the time, "I will do my best as the child's father," then refrained from official activities for a while and announced his return with "Made In Korea" after a year.
On the role of Jang Geon-young that he plays, Jung Woo-sung opened his mouth and said, "He is a stubborn character. In a way, he seems to be a man of determination who stubbornly carries out his duty within his own work ethic."
He said, "When I read the script I thought this imagination was brave and provocative. "Made In Korea" places fictional characters within real events and drives the story with perfectly imagined incidents that did not actually occur. That imagination seemed to give the actor tremendous courage and creativity in designing the character, so it was an interesting task," he said.
Meanwhile, Disney+'s "Made In Korea" will be released on Dec. 24.
