'Goodwill Competition' is a high-teen mystery thriller about a close relationship between teenage girls in a harsher survival competition than the entrance exam, dramatizing the webtoon of the same name (written by Song Chae-yoon/pictured by Shim Jae-young/produced by Y-Lab).
At the same time, STUDIO X+U unveiled its lineup of four leading actors on July 23 that will lead 'goodwill competition'. The main characters are Lee Hye-ri, Jung Soo-bin, Kang Hye-won, and Ouri, and a combination of popular actors who have been active in dramas and movies recently attracts attention. They will draw a close relationship between teenage high school girls who are in solidarity with each other and suspect each other at Chaehwa Girls' High School, where only the top 1% gather.
First of all, it was known that actress Lee Hye-ri chose 'Goodwill Competition' as her first drama return in three years. In Chaehwa Girls' High School, where the top 1% gathered, Lee Hye-ri plays a genius high school girl who does not miss the 0.1% spot. Lee Hye-ri will play the role of Yoo Jae, the only real power of Chaehwa Girls' High School, where her appearance, grades, and everything in her family are perfect, showing a new side that she has never seen before.
Actor Jung Soo-bin plays the role of a transfer student who receives special attention from Yu-J. Actor Jung Soo-bin, who has built his filmography step by step by appearing in works such as `You and Me's Police Class', 'Boy Judgment', and 'Trolley', has drawn attention as a lovely charm in the recently ended drama 'Investigation Team Leader 1958'. In the play, 'Useulgi' is a person who is from a local nursery school and becomes obsessed with his studies and grades in order to survive at Chaehwa Girls' High School. I'm looking forward to his performance that will show the opposite of his previous work.
In addition, Kang Hye-won, who appeared in 『Boys' Generation" last year and is establishing her position as an actor by showing stable acting and unique visuals, plays as the queen of gossip 'Ju Ye-ri" at Chaehwa Girls' High School. Joo Ye-ri is a person who values what others see and is obsessed with looks and luxury goods. Curiosity intensifies as to how Joo Ye-ri, who is also sensitive to rumors and rumors, will be involved in stormy events at Chaehwa Girls' High School.
The owner of the complex 'Choi Kyung', who cannot escape the second place no matter how hard he tries because of UJ, is played by the actor Ouri. Audrey, who appeared in a number of independent films such as `You and I', `Hellmanse', `Extreme Festival` and was recognized for her acting skills and even made a public impression by appearing in the drama `Welcome to Samdali`, adds to the curiosity about how Choi Kyung's second-in-command complex will be solved.
Lee Deok-jae, CCO of STUDIO X+U, "In 2025, we will be reborn as a customer-oriented studio so that viewers can experience differentiated content in a busy daily life through specialized mid-form dramas with fast and compressed fun." expressed his aspirations.
Meanwhile, STUDIO X+U 'Goodwill Competition', which is drawing more attention with the casting of Lee Hye-ri, Jung Soo-bin, Kang Hye-won, and Ouri, will be released in Korea on U+ Mobile TV in the first half of 2025, and global streaming is currently undecided.
