‘Treasure Island’ Director “I wanted to see Park Hyung-sik‘s acting transformation, his desire for masculinity”

Director Jin Chang-gyu revealed the reason he cast Park Hyung-sik and Hong Hwa-yeon.

At the production conference for the new SBS Friday-Saturday drama ‘Treasure Island’, held at the SBS building in Mok-dong, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 21st, Director Jin first emphasized that he had kept an eye on Park Hyung-sik since his days as a member of ZE:A. He said, “His acting transformation in the drama ‘High Society’ was impressive. I wanted him to work with me if he were to show another side of himself. I also heard that Park Hyung-sik wants to play a masculine character”.

Regarding Hong Hwa-yeon, “I felt that she had an atmosphere that suited our deep drama well. I didn’t know this actor well after seeing the references in his previous works. However, he praised him, saying, “During the audition, he read the script and digested it in such a different way, so I gave him high marks for his acting.”

“Treasure Island” is a life-long revenge match in which Seo Dong-joo (Park Hyung-sik), who hacked 2 trillion won in political slush funds, fights with everything he has to destroy the absolute evil that killed him and its world. It will be broadcast for the first time on the 21st as a follow-up to “My Perfect Secretary” and meets viewers every Friday at 10 p.m. and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
