‘Good Competition’ Director Kim Tae-hee mentioned the reason for casting Lee Hye-ri.

On the afternoon of the 6th, a press conference for the STUDIO X+U drama ‘Good Competition’ was held at CGV Yongsan I-PARK MALL in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Actors Lee Hye-ri, Jung Soo-bin, Kang Hye-won, Oh Woo-ri, Kim Tae-hoon, Young-jae, and director Kim Tae-hee attended the press conference that day.

Director Kim Tae-hee said about the reason for casting Lee Hye-ri, “I‘ve been a long-time fan of Hye-ri. I’ve also subscribed to her YouTube channel. When I was casting her, she had released her life log on YouTube. The moment I saw that she was a good student and had been a class president, I wanted to meet her.”

She then said, “The moment we met, she was very charismatic and had the feeling of being the leader of the group, but she was also serious. When she started talking, I could tell that she had insight and sharpness about the script. She analyzed things well. I am confident that I can show the public a completely new side of myself through a new character with a big gap from my existing roles. I am confident that I will renew my life character,” he emphasized, drawing attention.

Meanwhile, ‘Good Competition’ is a mystery girl thriller about friends who reveal their desires to ‘Seul-gi’, who transferred to Chaehwa Girls‘ High School, one of the top 1% in Korea where fierce college entrance exam competition takes place, and the suspicious death of her father, who was a member of the college entrance exam committee. First released on the 10th.
