The production presentation of the original TVing series 'Queen Wu' (written by Lee Byung-hak, directed by Jeong Se-kyo) was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 27th. Director Jeong Se-kyo, writer Lee Byung-hak, Jeon Jong-seo, Kim Moo-yeol, Jung Yu-mi and Lee Soo-hyuk attended the event.
'Queen Wu' is a chase action historical drama in which Queen Wu (Jeon Jong-seo), who is targeted by princes seeking the throne and five tribes seeking power due to the sudden death of the king, struggles to establish a new king within 24 hours. Movie 'Oh! Director Jeong Se-kyo, who directed 'Moonhee', and Lee Byung-hak, the writer of 'Senator', joined forces. On top of that, Jeon Jong-seo, Kim Moo-yeol, Jung Yu-mi, Lee Soo-hyuk, Park Ji-hwan, and Ji Chang-wook will work together.
Director Jeong Se-kyo said, "Queen Wu" is a factional drama based on a story from the Three Kingdoms Sagi. It is a chase action drama in which Woo searches for a new king within 24 hours due to the sudden death of the king. You will be able to see the dramatic end characters of the actors. I think it will be fun to see the amazing changes of actors in each episode", he explained.
Lee Byung-hak then put the most importance on the fact that it is an event that takes place for twenty-four hours. I used the time I used 12 magazines to express the urgent time of Queen Wu. I tried to use helpers and chasers to express the struggle for power" he said.
The title role of `Queen Wu' is Jeon Jong-seo. Jeon Jong-seo plans to reach viewers by playing Wang Hu-woo, the center of the story in the play. However, many viewers say that it is difficult to fully enter the main character's activities because the suspicion of the main character, Jeon Jong-seo, has not been completely resolved. In April, an article was posted on Blind, an anonymous community of office workers, claiming that he had been subjected to school violence by Jeon Jong-seo, and since then, a number of testimonies have continued, supporting the claim. Jeon Jong-seo said at the time that "we will respond legally to the spread of false information", but since then, there has been no clear news, so the suspicion of school violence has not been resolved.

However, in addition to Jeon Jong-seo's alleged school violence, suspicions of distortion of the history of the Northeast Project continued among some viewers who watched the teaser video online. Director Chung Sye-kyo said of the suspicion of historical distortion, `The teaser went out and there was a lot of talk, but I think that's possible when compared to the image. Not only did we do it alone, but there were advisors professors, and we also testified several times about the costumes that came out. While there are not many historical materials that are not available, there are some parts that we created. I thought that only then would I be able to show the viewers the appearance of Queen Wu. The writer is a writer who wrote 'Sangwon', so he is more expert than I am, and the costume representative has also been experts who have done 'Sadae'. It is likely that there will be separate data on the image in the future, but the topknots and costumes we made were referenced a lot with murals from the Goguryeo period. The murals and reference materials were also from the 4th and 5th centuries, and the role of the Great King Gwanggaeto had historical data. I also gave many opinions to the professor who advised me. It is heartbreaking to be seen as a form in the same image. I think it would be good to know that. One of the things we thought about while making the work was the identity of Goguryeo.
