On the 16th, a production presentation for Genie TV's original drama 'Namib' was held at Sindorim the St. in Guro-gu, Seoul. Except for Ko Hyun-jung, actors Ryeo-woon, Yoon Sang-hyun, Lee Jin-woo and Kang Min-gu attended.
Right before the production presentation, the production team reported Ko Hyun-jung's absence. Actor Ko Hyun-jung was absent due to a sudden deterioration in his health. In response to the medical staff's opinion that absolute stability and recovery are needed this morning, we inevitably decided not to attend" he said.
In response, head coach Kang Min-gu said, `There were some difficult parts in terms of schedule, and there were some physical difficulties as Ko Hyun-jung tried in the field. Nevertheless, he confessed that he had never been in the middle of filming at the scene, and that it was a little more difficult to go there after finishing everything. In the meantime, director Kang said, `I think actor Ko will do it until the end with his mental strength," he said.

In response, director Kang Min-gu said, `We did not consider Ko Hyun-jung's actual life. When I saw the character for the first time, actor Ko thought of it the strongest. I thought actor Ko was very appropriate to express charisma or delicacy. So I made a suggestion to actor Ko. I think this is what he said that the actor would be very charismatic in coming back after a few years."
In addition, Lee Jin-woo, who is working with Ko Hyun-jung as a son, said "From the first reading of the script, they were both like dreams and sky-high seniors to me, so I couldn't help but be nervous. I think I was able to act comfortably because he made the atmosphere comfortable on the spot.
Meanwhile, Genie TV's original drama 'Namib', which will premiere at 10 p.m. on the 23rd, tells the story of Kang Soo-hyun (played by Ko Hyun-jung), a fired star producer, and Yoo Jin-woo (Ryeowoon), a released long-term trainee, meeting each other and moving toward their goals.
