"Queen of Tears" Park Sung Hoon: "Poverty and a sense of inferiority became the driving force"
Actor Yoon Kye Sang undergoes a physical transformation for The Day by gaining around 10 kg.
The ENA drama The Day is releasing today (September 13th), and just hours ahead of the release, a press conference for the K-drama was held at the Stanford Hotel in Sangam Dong, Seoul.
At the press conference, commenting on his character, actor Yoon Kye Sang said, "Myung Joon is a retired judo player, and to emphasize his past martial arts experience, I gained about 10 kg. I was very happy to prepare for this role as I could eat to my heart's content".
Actor Park Sung Hoon takes on the role of Detective Park Sang Yoon. He decided to join the K-drama while reading the script on a flight to Japan and explained, "While I was a somewhat quirky character in Not Others, this time, I play a role that gives a sharp image".
Actress Kim Shin Rok takes on the role of the ambitious mastermind behind the kidnapping case and Myung Joon's ex-wife, Seo Hye Eun. She described Hye Eun as a character who will do anything to get what she wants. The actress said, "She [Hye Eun] married Myung Joon because she thought he could protect her and could be easily manipulated".
The role of the child prodigy Choi Ro Hee, who is also one of the main characters, is played by child actress Yu Na. She stated, "If I say it wasn't burdensome, that would be a lie. There were more lines and more actors than any other work I've done".
Talking about working with Yoon Kye Sang, she said, "At first, I thought he was a cool uncle, but as we continued filming, I became his fan".
Tune in for the premiere of The Day today (September 13th).
