‘Fooled By You’ IU and Park Bo-gum Explain Why They Chose This Project.

On the morning of the 5th, a production conference for the Netflix series ‘Fooled By You’ was held at the Grand Ballroom on the 3rd floor of the Conrad Seoul Hotel in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul. Actors IU, Park Bo-gum, Moon So-ri, Park Hae-joon, and director Kim Won-seok attended the conference that day.

On that day, IU said about the reason she chose ‘Fooled By You’, “This is my second time working with director Kim Won-seok, and I‘ve always been a fan of writer Im Sang-choon. As soon as I received the offer, I just wanted to do it. After reading it, I couldn’t resist. I told him I wanted to do it within a day of reading it.”

Park Bo-gum continued, “I was a fan of writer Im Sang-choon. I ended up filming this project after I finished my military service and was discharged. I wanted to do this project because I had the anticipation of working with director Won-seok. Later, when I watch this work with my family, I think they will say it was a good idea to do it together, so I decided to do it together,” he said, drawing attention as to why he chose the work.

Meanwhile, ‘Fooled in a Box’, which will be released on the 7th, is a Netflix series that unfolds the adventurous lives of ‘rebellious girl’ Ae-soon (played by IU), who was born in Jeju, and ‘unstoppable iron’ Gwan-sik (played by Park Bo-gum) through the four seasons.

Writer Im Sang-choon of ‘When the Camellia Blooms’ ‘Fight for My Way’ and director Kim Won-seok of ‘My Mister’ ‘Signal’ ‘Misaeng’ have joined forces.
