On the 20th, a production presentation for MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama Undercover High School was held at the MBC headquarters in Mapo, Seoul. PD Choi Jung-in, actors Seo Kang-joon, Jin Ki-joo, Kim Shin-rok and Park Se-hyun attended the event.
Undercover High School is a drama about the Nth high schooling of an NIS agent who disguised himself as a high school student to chase the whereabouts of Emperor Gojong's missing gold bullion. In particular, it is expected that it is the first work after Seo Kang-jun's discharge from the military. Seo joined the army in November 2021 and served in the Army's 1st Artillery Brigade, and was discharged from the military in May 2023. The last film was Disney+ 'Grid', which was released in 2022, and it is the first small screen comeback in about three years.
Seo Kang-joon's hiatus was also felt in the photo time when he was puzzled by the heart pose. Seo Kang-jun "3~4 years later, he was able to present his work. The world seems to have changed a lot. There are more things to do. I thought I should quickly adapt and present fun works to you. I learned a lot from the hearts while filming today as well. I couldn't understand anything because there were a lot of new words. I learned a lot of new things," he said with a smile.

After a long hiatus, he chose 'Undercover High School' as his return work 'There are many genres. Comic, romance, crime, etc. I chose those genres because they were so exquisitely mixed. It is a work that can be taken lightly, but there are many words hidden in it. It makes me think about a lot of things, and it's fun."

`There was a real high school student, but he looked really young,' Seo Kang-jun thought '`Why does it make such a difference when I've never felt this way?' I didn't anti-age to look young. I didn't pay much attention because the 31-year-old NIS was infiltrating, not becoming a high school student. Instead, I applied lotion well."
Then "I was a little embarrassed when I first saw myself wearing a school uniform. I thought I could wear it, but in the drama, I said let's enjoy it because I'm 31 years old. It was nice to wear it," he said with satisfaction.
Not only that, but there is also a scene where the top is taken off. Seo Kang-jun "I didn't pay much attention when filming. In the military, I had a lot of time, so all I did was exercise. That day, I ate stir-fried webfoot octopus for lunch, and I thought I should take care of it freely if I usually take good care of it."

Seo Kang-joon also said, `I can see the loveliness that Ki-joo has. Whatever you do, it'll be lovely. Ki-joo is also honest. Depending on how I do it, I saw the acting change honestly and thought 'That's a good actor' I learned a lot," he replied.

Referring to the continued popularity of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama "We are confident, too. Seo Kang-joon also said in a web entertainment show, "I will aim for a 12 percent viewer rating."
Regarding his goal pledge, Seo Kang-jun said, `I will send you on a trip. I don't know if I was talking because I was drunk, but I think it would be too embarrassing to cancel. I think we have to go if we go over. I'll send it to all the staff members," he said, causing even MBC's internal personnel to tremble. "I didn't think about the inside, but then I should sell the house."Shaking lightly, I bought a laugh. At the same time, he asked for expectations, saying, "My return work..." as a point to watch the work.
MBC's Friday-Saturday drama Undercover High School will premiere at 9:50 p.m. on the 21st.
