Jung Kyung-ho, a ‘professional actor’ who has played professional roles in various works such as doctors, detectives, and prison guards, transforms into a labor attorney this time through ‘Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin’.

On the morning of the 30th, the production conference MBC new Friday-Saturday drama ‘Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin’ was held online.Actors Jung Kyung-ho, Seol In-ah, Cha Hak-yeon, and director Im Soon-rye attended the production conference that day.

On this day, when asked why he chose ‘Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin’, Jung Kyung-ho answered, “As soon as I read the script, it was so much fun.I didn’t think too hard about it and just did it.I thought it would be so much fun, and it was, as expected.”



Seol In-ah also explained, “I really wanted to work with director Im Soon-rye and senior Jung Kyung-ho.Also, the character was attractive.It was a character I had never played before, and although the script was just a script, I was drawn to the character because it felt alive.”

Cha Hak-yeon said, “I liked the comedy in this script.I wanted to work with him on this script, and I was drawn to the character that I had never tried before.It was a project that I wanted to work on together and challenge myself with,” drawing attention.



Director Im Soon-rye said about directing a drama for the first time, “I also really liked the drama’s material and script.That was the biggest thing.Also, movies don’t get investment these days.It’s a joke, and I also felt like I wanted to try something new and different.Many people scared me, saying that it would be hard to do a drama and that I would lose my teeth.It wasn’t much different from a movie, except that the episodes were longer than I thought.The staff was also so nice that I didn’t know it was hard to film.”

Regarding the title of ‘professional actor’, Jung Kyung-ho said, “I’ve taken on many jobs that are polar opposites from my personal life.From my perspective, it’s exciting and fun.I think it’s good to create a character that didn’t exist in Jung Kyung-ho’s life.Even though I took on the role of a labor attorney, I think it’s exciting because I’ve had experiences I didn’t know about.”

When asked about the process of preparing for the labor attorney exam, he answered, “Unlike my previous work, this is not a drama about the role of a labor attorney with professional ethics, but a drama about a person named Noh Moo-jin growing through his experiences.As the work is completed, he is a character who builds up a sense of mission as a labor attorney.He became thicker and thicker as we filmed.I also received an award from the Labor Attorney Association not long ago.”



In particular, director Im Soon-rye said about working with Jung Kyung-ho, “It was my first time working with three people.(Jung Kyung-ho)has played sensitive and difficult roles so far, but in reality, I don’t know how he hides that sensitivity and fussiness, but he’s so easygoing and considerate.He’s also so affectionate and considerate to the on-site staff.I was surprised.He’s good at detailed acting, expressing diversity and delicacy even while always acting everyday.He thinks a lot about his projects.I always talk about those concerns, and he’s really helped me a lot with my projects,” creating a warm feeling.

Jung Kyung-ho said about his chemistry with Seol In-ah and Cha Hak-yeon, “It’s perfect.They’re both really bright.Their energy is really good.I’m quiet and have little energy, but when the three of us are together, there’s a moment when the balance is just right.” He added, “I always feel that when there are three of us, filming can’t proceed.Once a topic is started, we talk about it until we get home.It was always to the point where someone would tell us to stop and start filming.”



Jung Kyung-ho and Seol In-ah, who play brother-in-law and sister-in-law in ‘Labor Attorney No Mu-jin’, said, “We are brother-in-law and sister-in-law, but I wondered why we looked like real brother and sister.When we were on set, people would say that our backs looked similar.I think it’s right to say that we were like family.”

Then, Jung Kyung-ho said, “Actually, my sister-in-law is a man, and we fight a lot.It’s to the point where I wonder if it’s really something to do with my sister-in-law.She talks, fights, and fights more than my younger sister.It’s also amazing that the back of my head is becoming more and more similar.”

Jung Kyung-ho explained about comparing Seol In-ah to Jo Jung-seok, “If she had been an idol, she would have been a leader.I envy her for having so much.I got that feeling from In-ah.She was talented, smart, and had so much, so I envied her.”

When MC Park Kyung-rim said, “Female Jo Jung-seok,” Seol In-ah said, “This is a big problem.I’ll try to follow even the hair.”



Finally, when asked about the key points to watch for in ‘Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin’, Jung Kyung-ho said, “We have clients who appear in each episode.I think you should watch those cases as well.I also think that it’s not just a light story,” urging viewers to watch.
