The press premiere of the new jTBC drama “Itaewon Class” was held in Seoul on the 30th with PD Kim Seong-yoon, writer Kwang Jin, and actors Park Seo joon, Kim Da mi, Yoo Jae myung and Kwon Nara.
“Itaewon Class” is about a ‘hip’ revolt by stubborn and courageous youths living in this unfair world. It contains the starting of businesses of those who pursue freedom with their own values on a small street in Itaewon.
Meanwhile, “Itaewon Class” draws attention, as it is the first TV drama created by Showbox, a Chungmuro investing distributor which presented films such as “The Host”, “The Thieves”, “The Assassination”, “A Taxi Driver” and more. When a reporter asked Kim Seong yoon if Showbox had any special demands, he emphasized that “Itaewon Class” was going to be a piece of work that would be recorded as an individual challenge, not just for Showbox. He explained, “The actors are playing roles that can be considered ‘challenging’, the writer is making his first attempt at a drama screenplay and “Itaewon Class” is my first jTBC drama ever. I hope it does as well as “The Man Standing Next”“.
Meanwhile, jTBC drama “Itaewon Class” begins on the 31st at 10:50PM. It will also be available on Netflix.
