Singer-turned-actor Seo Hyun and Ok Taecyeon shared their thoughts on meeting each other through a drama rather than on stage.

On the 11th, the production conference to commemorate the first broadcast of KBS2’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘I Stole the Nam-joo’s First Night ‘(directed by Lee Woong-hee and Kang Soo-yeon/written by Jeon Seon-yeong)was held.Director Lee Woong-hee and actors Seo Hyun, Ok Taec-yeon, Kwon Han-sol, Seo Beom-jun, and Ji Hye-won attended the event.

On this day, Ok Taecyeon said, “I chose the drama because Seohyun was appearing.When I was an idol, I was a girl who carried books around, but this time, I got curious when I heard that she would enter a book in the drama.” Seohyun said, “I had already read the original webtoon and it was a work that I liked.When I got the offer to appear, it felt like fate.It’s a romance fantasy genre, and the setting was changed to the fictional Joseon Dynasty.I really immersed myself in the script and read it.” She shared the reason why she decided to appear in the drama, saying, “When I heard that Ok Taecyeon was the male lead, I thought he was a great fit.He’s a good person and his external synchronization was perfect for the character.”

Seohyun also said, “I’ve been singing with Ok Taecyeon for a long time.We weren’t close, but we had an inner friendship.We have a sense of camaraderie and comradeship.It was comfortable from the first time we met.We talked a lot about our work without holding back on anything on set, which created synergy.” Ok Taecyeon said, “We’ve been working together since we were young, so I felt a lot of camaraderie.We met often when we were idol singers, but we weren’t close.It was nice that we could become close through this project.I relied on him on set as well,” talking about his feelings about reuniting as members of Girls ‘Generation and 2PM through a drama rather than on stage.

‘ I Stole the Male Lead’s First Night ‘is a romance fantasy drama about a supporting character in a romance novel with the soul of an ordinary female college student who spends a night with the male lead who is obsessed with the novel.It is based on the Naver series web novel of the same name, which recorded a reader rating of 9.8 points and has a combined cumulative view count of over 600 million for the original web novel and webtoon.

In’ The First Night of the Male Lead ‘, the bold supporting role Cha Seon-Cheok(played by Seo Hyun)who will shake up the original work, the cold-blooded male lead Lee Gun(played by Ok Taecyeon), the female lead Jo Eun-Ae(played by Kwon Han-Sol), the supporting male lead Jung Soo-Kyum(played by Seo Beom-Jun), and the villainess Do Hwa-Seon(played by Ji Hye-Won)are expected to embody the classic romance novel clichés.

Jo Eun-ae(played by Kwon Han-sol), who is entangled with the second choice and this time, is the person that K cheered for the most since his days as a novel reader before he was possessed by the second choice, and they became friends after the possession.Jung Soo-kyum(played by Seo Beom-joon), the sub-male who has a crush on Jo Eun-ae, becomes caught in a complicated emotional flow due to the second choice’s appearance.Do-hwa-seon(played by Ji Hye-won), who has a crush on Lee-ne, is wary of the second choice and Jo Eun-ae, who keeps getting entangled with him, and shows hostility.
