Actors Choi Ye-na, Han Sung-min, Jung Min-gyu, and Eun-chan have heightened the anticipation for ‘Villain‘s Country’.

KBS 2TV’s new Wednesday-Thursday sitcom ‘Villain‘s Country’ (directed by Kim Young-jo, Choi Jung-eun / written by Chae-woo, Park Kwang-yeon), scheduled to premiere on the 19th (Wed), is a situational comedy drama containing the sometimes rough and sometimes warm daily lives of the K-ajumma sisters and their witty family.

In the drama, Choi Ye-na plays the role of Goo Won-hee, a guest in the Oh Na-ra (played by Oh Na-ra) family, and Han Sung-min plays the role of Seo In-a, the eldest child of Oh Na-ra and Seo Hyun-chul (played by Seo Hyun-chul). In-a’s younger brother Seo Young-hoon is played by Jung Min-gyu. Eun-chan gives a passionate performance as Song Kang, the eldest son of Oh Yu-jin (played by So Yu-jin) and Song Jin-woo (played by Song Jin-woo).

Choi Ye-na said, “When I read the script, I was drawn to the character of Goo Won-hee because she was charming and had a lot in common with him. The director told me that rather than acting as Won-hee, he wanted Choi Ye-na to naturally become Won-hee and show off her own appearance and charm,” recalling the moment she first read the script. She continued, “I also learned how to play an instrument to become Won-hee. It was my first time seeing a contrabass, so I was very flustered, but I received lessons on how to hold the instrument and how to finger it before filming. Also, Won-hee is good at playing the piano as well as the contrabass, so I took lessons whenever I had time and focused on practicing. ”She‘s a character with such diverse charms, so I think viewers will like her,“ he said, expressing his affection for the character.

On the other hand, Han Sung-min chose ’MZ‘, ’Bouncy Ball‘, and ’love‘ as three keywords to describe the character of Seo In-a. He said, ”I think Seo In-a is the character with the most MZ energy in the drama. She’s trendy and has her own distinct style, and she‘s like a bouncy ball that you never know where she’ll go, so her actions are unpredictable from a third party‘s perspective. But in reality, she moves according to her own clear values.“ He added, ”All of her actions are based on love. She may seem bold and free-spirited on the outside, but she’s a character full of affection for the people around her.“

Jung Min-gyu and Eun-chan stimulated curiosity about the drama by saying, ”The chemistry between the family members, the new fun that you feel with each episode“ as the points to watch for in ‘Villain Country’. The two added, ”If we focus on the characters‘ relationships, we will be able to understand their thoughts and actions better, and we will be able to immerse ourselves in the story.“ In particular, regarding the acting chemistry with the actors, Eun Chan said, ”Every time we film together, it is so fun and new. Whenever I was worried about how I could create a better picture while getting along with my colleagues, I asked my seniors Oh Na Ra, So Yoo Jin, Seo Hyun Chul, and Song Jin Woo for advice. They always gave me warm advice, and it was a huge help,“ expressing her gratitude.

Choi Ye Na also said about the atmosphere on set, ”The senior actors took such good care of me that I wondered if it was okay for me to be taken care of like this. Senior Oh Na-ra said, “I received a lot of love not only as Won-hee but also as Ye-na, for her acting and for ad-libbing the gestures from my song ‘NemoNemo’.”

Lastly, Han Sung-min showed his affection for the drama by saying, “I hope ‘Villain Country’ will remain as a warm moment like my school days, when I suddenly think of them and they sometimes become a comfort to me.” Jung Min-gyu said, “I want to become a bundle of laughter that can bring joy to the viewers by making the funny scenes in the drama come to mind,” and Choi Ye-na and Eun-chan also said, “I hope that 2025 will be filled with only good things and happy days. Please watch and love it a lot,” he said, urging viewers to watch the original broadcast.

KBS 2TV’s new Wednesday-Thursday sitcom ‘Villain‘s Country’ will air for the first time on Wednesday, the 19th at 9:50 p.m.
