"Everyone is fighting their own worthlessness" unveiled the first still cut of the unrivaled popular actor Koo Chang-hwan.

JTBC's new Saturday-Sunday drama "Everyone is Fighting Their Unworthiness" (directed by Cha Young-hoon, scripted by Park Hae-young, production studio Phoenix, SLL, Studio Flow, hereinafter referred to as "Momoussa"), which is scheduled to premiere in April, is a work that follows the search for peace in humans who are suffering from time and jealousy among their proud friends. Koo Dong-hwan, who built his own acting world with an impossible charm, will play Hwang Dong-man, who dreams of making his film director debut for 20 years, showing the essence of black comedy.

Dong-man is a person who constantly talks to erase the anxiety that has filled him. Even the cheeky appearance of exuding envy at a popular friend is actually a desperate struggle to break the silence and reveal one's existence. Dongman, who is afraid of revealing his worthlessness in silence or abandoning it from the world, is relieved only when he draws in and talks.

In the end, his loud long-winded theory is not malicious, but a transparent survival signal that tells the world, "I'm alive here." As soon as Dong-man's desperate struggle to push back the anxiety is witnessed, viewers are expected to find the "real me" in him, feeling a sense of compassion and touching homogeneity beyond cheekiness.

Dongman's pathetic but unlikable aspect is also explained by the so-called "Maltese with many tearful marks." Every second is full of "tear marks of the heart" accumulated by struggling with his worthlessness, and at the same time, he is an "unbearable Maltese" who barks at the well-known. Perhaps behind him, who looks bright without wrinkles, is a wounded bare face hidden.

Lastly, his persistence as a "romantic nerd" who writes his own story without being daunted by the eyes of the world is an attraction point that he has no choice but to fall into helplessly. The misdeeds of trying to capture falling leaves or climbing a local hill and calling out one's name are in fact Dongman's romantic resistance not to sink into the swamp of worthlessness. The same goes for the insistence on wearing a World War II veteran's leather coat every day. His appearance, which is weighed down by the weight of reality that is exhausting after only 10 minutes, but he has to raise his coat collar finally shows the aspect of a romantic nerd trying to prove his worthiness.

The old exchange unravels these sides of Dongman with a unique anomalous performance, representing the universal self that any modern person would have had at least once. At the same time, we will dive into the hearts of viewers as a persona that shows the most honest inner side we want to hide. His desperate struggle against worthlessness is expected to create a character that viewers are also willing to support, in line with the unique human color of old exchange. In addition, it is expected that everyone who stopped in front of the red traffic light in their lives will be able to turn on the green light in their hearts with comfort that it is okay. This is why I am looking forward to Koo Chang-hwan's sincere passion.

"Momoussa" is a work in which writer Park Hae-young, who creates the lowest emotions of life in the most noble sentences, and director Cha Young-hoon, who showed warm humanism by capturing the extraordinary solidarity of ordinary people. With "anxiety," the universal emotion of modern people, as the keyword, it is regarded as the most anticipated work in the first half of 2026 that will turn on the "green light of life" for those who have stopped at the red light of valuelessness. It will premiere on JTBC in April.
