Kang Pul told the story of the work to commemorate the release of the original Disney+ series 'Light Shop'.

Writer Kang Pul met with Sports Chosun at somewhere in Samcheong-dong, Seoul on the afternoon of the 24th and responded to an interview to commemorate the opening of 'Light Shop'.

Disney+'s original series 'Light Shop' tells the story of customers with suspicious secrets coming to the only place that lights up the end of a dark alley'Light Shop'. For 12 days after its release on the 4th, it achieved the highest viewing record among Korean original contents released in 2024 based on global viewing and the second highest viewing among Korean original contents released after the launch of Disney+.




Regarding director Kim Hee-won who directed the movie, Kang Pul said, `I suggested directing first. The director was very interested in people's works, and I confirmed the director's passion and delicacy by interacting with him at the scene of `Moving.' Director Kim Hee-won used to come to the studio even at dawn to talk about his work even before casting, he said. "Thanks to his passion and hard work, the production seems to have continued to receive favorable reviews."

Kang also admired her ability as an actor. Actor Kim Hee-won's role in "Moving" had difficulty playing an ordinary person without superpowers, but his conflict and everyday acting were outstanding, and he said, "Since then, I have gained great trust in his acting."

Regarding the possibility of collaboration with director Kim Hee-won in the next work, he expressed trust and respect, saying, `One of the directors I want to work with, although nothing has been decided yet.'




'Light Shop' is currently available for all episodes on Disney+.
