Will Black Pink Jisoo be able to hold Seo In-guk's hand and wear the title of "Loco Goddess".

On the morning of the 26th, a production briefing session for Netflix's "Monthly Boyfriend" was held at the JW Dongdaemun Marriott Hotel in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul. Director Ji-soo, Seo In-guk and Jungsik Kim attended the event.

"Monthly Boyfriend" is a romantic comedy in which webtoon PD Mirae (Ji-Soo), who is tired of real life, subscribes to and experiences love through virtual love simulation. With the unique setting of "Love Subscription in the Virtual World" foreshadowing excitement on the realistic daily life of office workers that we can all sympathize with, attention is focusing on the meeting between Jisoo and Seo In-guk, a "chemist" who will showcase "stick character."

When asked why she chose her work, Jisoo said, "The virtual reality of subscribing to a relationship does not feel like a distant future, but a close feeling. I felt that Seo Mi-rae's character was similar to me a lot. I acted with sympathy in the part of thinking and solving," he replied.

Explaining Seo Mi-rae's character, Ji-soo said, "The future is a professional who is living in the present life by focusing on work after failing to love once before and being hurt. He said, "I cherish my time and live alone at home taking care of 'work-life balance' and learn and grow a lot in virtual reality," adding, "I like to be at home personally, and that part resembles me." He is also a character who is afraid of challenging or changing, as people my age worry a lot. Many people will feel the same empathy as me as they see the future," he said.

Seo In-guk said, "The world view of this work was interesting. It was interesting to enter the virtual reality world. It was attractive to continue the story that fits the background of virtual reality, numerous CG works, and themes, he said. "I met Ji-soo for the first time with this work. It was more fun and humorous than I thought. So our scene started with laughter and ended with laughter. I filmed it so happily and happily. I thought he was a person with a very lovely charm," he said.

Jisoo challenged Rocco (romantic comedy) for the first time through this work. Jisoo said, "This work is my first Rocco and modern drama. Looking at the script, there were many things I could relate to and many interesting things because the future was the same age as me. It was fun to be able to create characters while contemplating and empathizing together, and most of all, I tried hard to follow my brother's lead because In-guk has been in romance a lot." When Park Kyung-rim, who hosted the event, asked, "Do you want the title of Jisoo's 'Loco Goddess,' Jisoo laughed, "Yes, I want it."

Ji-Soo, who has tried acting by appearing in dramas such as "Snow Gang-hwa," "Utopia," and "Omniscient Reader's View." He played the lead role in various works, but his disappointing acting skills were controversial every time.

When asked what kind of efforts she made to overcome this disappointing acting ability and show her good performance, Ji-soo said, "Since I played various roles, I also met with the director and talked a lot so that I could show better performances this time," adding, "Since I play a character of my age, I wondered if there was a way to act like a suit for me." I hope I can hear that I met the right character (for me) while watching "Monthly Boyfriend" this time.

In response, director Jungsik Kim said, "Ji-Soo really put in a lot of effort and pulled off various settings and characters well. There is also a future of growing into a character in the drama, but you can also see the growth of actress Ji-Soo. Hard work beat talent, rather than talent," he added.

Expectations are high whether Ji-Soo will be able to win the title of "Loco Goddess" by holding Seo In-guk's hand.

Meanwhile, "Monthly Boyfriend" will be released simultaneously around the world on March 6.
