● The following is a Q&A with Tak Jae-hoon

1. Why did you become the MC of ‘Lawyers of the Roundtable’ and how do you feel?

In fact, it is not a social problem, but I thought it could be of some help to those who are suffering individually, those who are in a difficult situation mentally or emotionally, and those who want to relieve their frustration. I participated with the intention of being able to empathize with the various stories and situations of such people and solve each problem together.


2. Filming has already begun, but can you tell us a little about the atmosphere on set?

The atmosphere on set changes frequently depending on various situations. It seems to change depending on which client, what story, and what reason.

There are three lawyers and office managers Lee Ji-hye and Shin Gyu-jin, and they work very well together. They empathize with all the content, are surprised, and ask each other for solutions. The atmosphere is good.


3. You have been appointed as the representative of ‘Lawyers of the Round Table’. What is your secret weapon as the representative? What kind of image do you plan to show the viewers?

Since we have experienced a lot in our lives, I think we will be able to empathize sufficiently by recalling actual events. The three professional lawyers also seem to have a strong will to sympathize with each other and solve this problem based on their extensive experience.

My role is as the representative, so I will listen to the client‘s story thoroughly and listen to the lawyers’ opinions. I don‘t make any decisions alone. I feel like I synthesize the opinions of the office manager and the lawyers to decide whether to unravel the case or not.


4. ‘Lawyers of the Round Table’ is a divorce program that aims to lead to a good divorce. What does Tak Jae-hoon think a good divorce is?

There is no such thing as a good divorce. When you look at divorce, it’s when you try to be happy. There is no such thing as a good divorce, but I think it is a good thing to make it work so that the man and woman can live happily afterward.


5. What do you think is the most important thing in marriage?

I think the most important things in marriage are trust, understanding, and compromise. When two people live together as a community in a relationship between a man and a woman, rather than thinking about their own thoughts, desires, and lives, I think the most important factor is understanding, compromising, trusting, and believing in each other.


6. Are there any key points to watch for in ‘The Lawyers of the Round Table’?

‘The Lawyers of the Round Table’ deals with real cases. If you look at the stories, the client is a good person at first, but then the client changes to a bad person in the middle. There are points where the situation is unraveled through the twists and turns of the story, the case is solved, and whether or not to choose the client is discussed together.


7. You will be working with Lee Ji-hye and Shin Gyu-jin. Please tell us about each of you.

Shin Gyu-jin and I have been working together for over two years, so now our chemistry is not a problem even without any special circumstances. She has a good sense, is quick-witted, and is very good at what she does, so there will be no problem working together.

Lee Ji-hye is a professional broadcaster now, isn‘t she? She’s so good that I feel empty without her while filming. I don‘t have anything special to ask for. I feel comfortable when she’s around.


8. How‘s the chemistry between the three of you?

We just finished our first recording, and this kind of chemistry shouldn’t exist. I want to give the two of you 100 points. I also want to give the lawyer a lot of points. She combines real-life situations and the stories behind them well and expresses them logically. She explains things well at every moment, and she points out things that I shouldn‘t have or things that I’m missing, so she gives me 20 points out of 100. (Laughs) I think I can fill in the 80 points while broadcasting. (Laughs)


9. As the representative of ‘Lawyers of the Round Table’, I would like to ask you to say a few words of aspiration and give a closing remark.

In fact, there are many stories that are incomprehensible, surprising, and absurd. Many people are troubled by these things, so no matter what the story is, if you contact us without hesitation, we will rationally and empathetically solve it. Please show a lot of interest in ‘Lawyers of the Round Table’.
