‘Undercover High School’ Seo Kang-joon shared his thoughts on his long-awaited comeback since his military discharge.

On the afternoon of the 20th, a production conference for MBC‘s new Friday-Saturday drama ‘Undercover High School’ was held at the Golden Mouse Hall on the 1st floor of MBC in Sangam-gu, Seoul. Actors Seo Kang-joon, Jin Ki-joo, Kim Shin-rok, Jeon Bae-soo, Kim Min-joo, Park Se-hyun, and PD Choi Jung-in attended the conference that day.

On that day, Seo Kang-joon shared his thoughts on his return to ‘Undercover High School’ after his military discharge and said, “It’s really been 3-4 years since I‘ve been able to show you a work like this. The world has changed a lot. The world has changed a lot while I was away, and I thought I needed to adapt quickly.”

Seo Kang-joon continued, “While filming, a lot of new words came up. So I learned a lot of new things. I couldn’t even listen to a single one. Also, when I looked at the students, some of them real students, I got the feeling that they looked really young. I wondered if I looked different,” and explained, “I actually didn’t do any anti-aging. I wasn’t trying to be a high school student, but an undercover NIS agent, so I didn’t really pay attention and just put on lotion.”

Regarding his appearance in his school uniform, Seo Kang-joon said, “I was a little embarrassed. I wondered if I could wear it. Since I’m an adult in the drama, I thought I shouldn’t be embarrassed and should enjoy it. I felt good wearing it,” drawing attention.

Meanwhile, “Undercover High School” is a drama that contains the adventures of a NIS agent who disguises himself as a high school student in order to track down the whereabouts of Emperor Gojong’s missing gold bars. First broadcast on the 21st (Friday) at 9:50 PM.
