The STUDIO X+U drama 「Goodwill Competition" (played by Kim Tae-hee and Min Ye-ji, directed by Kim Tae-hee) is a mystery story surrounding the mysterious death of his father, who was a member of the College Scholastic Ability Test, and his friends who revealed their desires to the top 1% Chaehwa Girls' High School in Korea, where fierce competition for entrance examinations takes place. Above all, interest in actress Lee Hye-ri, who returns with a completely new face through this work, is hot.
In the midst of this, on the 3rd, 'Goodwill Competition' revealed the charm of the character 'YJ' that Lee Hye-ri calls herself, and the efforts Lee Hye-ri made to draw this character. Lee Hye-ri felt a little liberated from breaking taboo things while watching the script as a reason for her decision to appear in 'Goodwill Competition'. I didn't think there would be many opportunities to act this kind of story, and I fell into a unique atmosphere that I couldn't feel in other works."
The tense psychological tension felt in the relationship between the characters was interesting. Also, Jay is a resolution character completely different from the roles I've played so far, so I think I was looking forward to showing a new side of myself."
Lee Hye-ri said of the UJ she will play "J is the perfect friend to look at. Chaehwa Girls' High School's star and wannabe who has a good family, studies well, and is pretty. "However, Jay's actions, which appear to be perfect, hide his deficiency behind his seemingly perfect appearance, may have different intentions. I think it would be more fun if you could watch while reasoning about the hidden meaning of the scene on the outside.
As such, 'UJ' is the most heterogeneous character in Lee Hye-ri's filmography, and it is expected to be another challenge in his acting life. When asked what she tried to do for this, Lee Hye-ri focused on expressing a cold look and an unknown expression in contrast to her kind and sweet appearance. I had to understand Jay's attitude to play Jay, so I think I always imagined what kind of choice Jay would make and searched for answers"It seems that he completed the character without justification in order to make Jay a mysterious and attractive character."
He also tried to make J look prettier than usual as he was a wannabe at Chaehwa Girls' High School. In addition to the scenes in which he appeared as a plainclothes, he put his heart and soul into details such as accessories and bags in the scenes where he had to wear a school uniform", he said, adding that the styling to be shown in 'goodwill competition' is another point to watch.
Finally, when asked what kind of existence 'goodwill competition' will be in Lee Hye-ri's career, he said "I think we will see the appearance of 'Lee Hye-ri' that has never been seen before." Previously, he played a lot of characters with bright, brave, and positive energy, while Jay is a ruthless character with a dark spot somewhere. It's a character that stands out more for its coolness than warmth, so viewers will see this work and 'Did Hyeri have this face?I think you'll feel '
'Goodwill Competition' will be released for the first time on U+TV and U+Mobile TV on the 10th.
