Actor Kang Yoo-seok colors tvN new drama ‘Seocho-dong’ with bright energy.

In ‘Seocho-dong’ (written by Lee Seung-hyun, directed by Park Seung-woo), which will be aired for the first time on July 5th, Kang Yoo-seok will play the role of Jo Chang-won, an extroverted lawyer, and will convey his dessert-like sweet charm to viewers.

Kang Yoo-seok, who has steadily built up his filmography and increased his presence, said about the reason he decided to appear in this work, “The script was so appealing.I was drawn to the warm and everyday story, and from my first meeting with the director, I thought I really wanted to work with him.” He added that the cast was also a factor that moved his heart.

The character he plays, Jo Chang-won, is a mood maker and chatterbox among the five associate lawyers.”He is a person who talks a lot and livens up the mood.He is the brightest and sweetest of the five, and if I were to compare him to food, he would be like a dessert,” he explained, hinting that he will be in charge of the energy in the drama.

Kang Yoo-seok, who reflected the tone of his lines and quick breathing in his acting practice to bring out Jo Chang-won’s ‘too much talker’ side, also shared a behind-the-scenes story, saying, “Since it’s a role that’s older than my actual age, I paid a lot of attention to my styling to make it look mature.”

Lastly, he raised expectations by saying, “The point to watch for in ‘Seocho-dong’ is the chemistry between the five lawyers,” and “It will be a drama that makes you curious about what kind of stories they will share and what kind of food they will eat, and their daily lives.”

tvN new Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Seocho-dong’, which depicts the work, life, and growth of five associate lawyers set in the legal town of Seocho-dong, will premiere on July 5th at 9:20 PM.
