Actor Yoon Ji-on said he auditioned for 'Mother, Friend, Son' and joined.

Yoon Ji-on met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 10th and said, `I got a lot of strength because the director said 'I thought a strong call came in' at the audition hall.'

tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Mom Friend Son' (scripted by Shin Ha-eun and directed by Yoo Je-won), which ended on the 6th, is a turbulent neighborhood romance between a woman who tries to reboot her erratic life and her living dark history 'Mom Friend Son'. The audience rating for the final episode was 8.5% (national standards for Nielsen Korea paid households).

Yoon Ji-on said "I'm glad the ratings for the last episode were high. It was less than expected at the production presentation, but it was still popular. "It's the first time I've been contacted so many times by my acquaintances since my debut in the drama. I felt that the drama was loved. "

Playing Kang Dan-ho, a passionate social media reporter in the play, he said, "'I've been watching the reporters carefully during the interview and watching how they conduct the interviewLooking at the script, Seung-hyo could prepare for swimming in advance, pomegranate could be cooked, and Cho-yi could be studied about firefighters, but there was nothing that I could prepare as a reporter. All I could do was remind myself of what I observed the reporters. But a drama is a drama. I shouldn't try to express the reporters I saw as they are. Don't reporters turn on the recorder and use it when the interviewer answers questions. In the drama, I couldn't type during the interview because I had to feel like I was listening to the other person's story. When Seung-hyo and Myung-ho met for the first time and helped the grandmother who picked up waste paper and did an interview, I told the director 'Please give me a laptop', but he just closed it. So when I turned on the recorder on my cell phone, he said it was good."

He also described the process of joining the production as `I auditioned and was cast in the production. After casting, the director said 'I just thought a determination came in' The words gave me tremendous strength. I didn't ask you what you were determined about, but I think you thought you were determined because you saw that one screw was loose somewhere and you were stupid"I put a bottle of whiskey and practiced to shoot the scene of drinking and festering on purpose. I recorded it with two drinks and monitored it while taking pictures of my face with three drinks. I'm not good at drinking, but I'm not drunk on a can of beer."
