tvN drama 『Graduation』, which ended last week, was set in Daechi-dong academy district and dealt with the difficult topic of contemplation and reflection on education buried in entrance exams, while showing a true adult romance that grows each other through the love of Lee Joon-ho (Wi Ha-joon) and Seo Hye-jin (Jeong Ryeo-won).
At the end of the successful drama 'Graduation', Wi Ha-joon delivered his thoughts on the work to the viewers who gave him passionate love and support.
The following is a question and answer.
What does the drama 'graduation' mean to actor Wi Ha-joon?
- It's a work that allowed me to graduate from myself, who was immature and always felt that I was lacking, and to meet a more grown and mature 'I'.
What is the most attachable and memorable scene? I also wonder why.
- This is the scene where Junho confesses to Hyejin in the teacher's room. I think it is a scene that delicately captures Junho's purest and affectionate emotions. That's why I'm most attached to that scene.
Lee Joon-ho says 'growing character' in this drama, and it seems that Lee Joon-ho in the work has been changing as he encounters various characters and goes through various events. As an actor who played 'Lee Jun-ho', this friend became a real adult. When did you feel like you've grown up?
- Rather than being an adult now, I think he became more mature through anguish and reflection on himself as he realized that this is how he really loved Hye-jin. The ending of the 14th part is the inflection point of such change.
You can feel the warm atmosphere of the scene through the released making film. The energy of the site seems to have influenced the smoke a lot. Is there anything different or influenced from the interpretation you felt while watching the script through breathing with the other actor in the field and directing the director?
- The interpretation I felt while looking at the script did not change, and I thought the message the script wanted to throw to the world was clear, and I think the characters were expressed more three-dimensional and attractive by projecting the actors' natural appearance little by little in the director's detailed and realistic directions and characters.
'graduation' was especially well received by drama enthusiasts. What's the most memorable comment from the fans.
- Watching the work 'Graduation', I thought I wanted to make a lot of money. The reason is that I want to distribute such good works for free so that many people around the world can see them.' I was really touched by the fan's writing, and I felt comforted and happy. Once again, I thought, 'I really did a good job of doing this.'
What does "strong" drama 'graduation' mean to actor Wi Ha-joon?
- It's a work that allowed me to graduate from myself, who was immature and always felt that I lacked, and to meet a more grown and mature 'I'.
Meanwhile, Wi Ha-joon is scheduled to embark on a fan meeting tour of five Asian cities, including Seoul, Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia, in August and September. Since then, Netflix 'Squid Game Season 2' is also about to be released. At the same time, it is expected to spend the second half of the year busier than ever, as it has begun reviewing its next work.
