First, Lee Sedol said at the production conference for Netflix’s ‘Devil’s Plan: Deathroom ‘held at the Naru Ballroom of the Naru Seoul MGallery Hotel in Mapo-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 29th, “I appeared because I thought it would be a good experience.It was a good experience as I thought.” He continued, “I think it was the first time I felt a competitive spirit outside of baduk.It felt difficult and tiring to accept new things in a new environment, but as I did it, I found it fun and I found myself enjoying it.’ Devil’s Plan ‘was definitely more difficult than baduk.”

Kang Ji-young said, “While watching Season 1, I realized that the games were really difficult and tough, but there were games that revolved around memorization that I could try.I hoped that I would be able to show my strengths at least once.I really wanted to appear because PD Jeong Jong-yeon said he was making it.I participated with the mindset that I would die a heroic death and not just take the hit, and I had some results.”

Yoon So-hee confessed, “I don’ t usually like competition, so I don’t really like survival programs.I didn’t do it when I was asked to do it by other programs before.’Devil’s Plan: Death Room ‘is directed by PD Jeong Jong-yeon, and the players I’m familiar with are on the show, so I thought I could give it a try, so I decided to appear on it.”

Kyuhyun said, “I’ve been active for a long time and have appeared on many Netflix programs.Netflix is a platform that I love so much, so I wanted to do that too.Recently, I’ve been active as a panelist or MC while supporting someone on their way to becoming a star, but since this was the first time in a while that I had the chance to be a player, I decided to work hard, whether it’s for food or death.I worked hard, had fun, and was happy.I think I’ll remember it for a long time.”

Chu said, “I really enjoyed watching season 1.I wanted to try a fierce survival game, so I did it.I wanted to try it to see a new side of myself as a player.”

Lee Seung-hyun, who was a Miss Korea, said, “I looked up all of PD Jeong Jong-yeon’s programs.I thought, ‘Why aren’ t they calling me?’ I’m a goal-oriented person, and since I got the title of pretty, I wanted to try to find a smart image, so I took on the challenge.” Seven High recalled, “I feel like I’ve had a new experience in my life, so I’m very satisfied.”

Jung Hyun-gyu looked back and said, “I thought I could do well if I went out while watching Season 1.I was honored to be offered the role.While filming Devil’s Plan, I was able to learn about a side of myself that I didn’t know about, and I was able to grow even more.” Choi Hyun-joon said, “I live within many norms and rules, but this program publicly gave me an indulgence for a period of less than 7 days.It was a time when I threw everything away and played passionately while learning what people’s true faces were like.”

The ordinary participants also shared their thoughts.Park Sang-yeon said, “I wanted to appear on PD Jeong Jong-yeon’s previous work ‘The Genius’.I went in with the mindset of showing off my overwhelming play.I was determined to become the youngest winner if I won.It suits me so well.I think I’m addicted.I think it’ll be hard to get out.” Kim Ha-rin said, “I came here with the determination to throw everything I have into the notice recruiting ordinary participants,” and Son Eun-yu said, “I played the game with the pride that no one would know me as an ordinary person, but they would remember me for a long time when the program ends.” Finally, Tino said, “I’ve been playing board games for over 30 years and have watched all of PD Jeong Jong-yeon’s programs, so it was an honor to appear.It’s really different when I’m on TV and when I’m on the show.I worked hard to show off my cool play, so please enjoy it.”
