Director Yoo In-sik stated that he has not made any edits to the production following the controversy over Cha Eun-woo's alleged tax evasion worth over 20 billion won.

On the morning of the 12th, a production report conference for the Netflix series 'Wonderfuls' was held at JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul. Director Yoo In-sik, Park Eun-bin, Choi Tae-hoon, Im Sung-jae, Gimhae Suk, Son Hyun-joo, Jung Yi-seo, Choi Yun-ji, and Bae Na-ra attended the event.

'Wonderfuls' is a superpower comic adventure set at the turn of the century in 1999, where ordinary neighborhood residents who unexpectedly gain superpowers struggle to protect the world from villains threatening peace.

Director Yoo In-sik explained, "This story is set at the turn of the century in 1999, an era rife with apocalyptic theories. It follows four people who were once considered insignificant and called 'nobodies,' but who gained special abilities and faced the mission of saving the world by fighting against villains. It can be described as a comic superhero adventure drama."

Continuing, Director Yoo In-sik said, "I have always liked the superhero genre. I have memories and a romantic vision of superhero movies from my childhood where I would sit in the theater and couldn't even stand up even after the movie ended. That romantic vision has continued since I started directing dramas, and when I read the writer's original proposal and script, my heart raced."

When asked about his feelings regarding the tax evasion controversy surrounding male lead Cha Eun-woo that erupted before the work's release, Director Yoo In-sik stated, "I learned about Cha Eun-woo through news articles when editing and post-production were almost complete. This project is my long-held romantic vision, and everyone involved worked extremely hard to capture every second of every shot. We proceeded with editing and post-production with the overall completeness of the drama as the top priority. Therefore, I ask for your understanding that I cannot specifically address personal issues at this production announcement conference."

Regarding Cha Eun-woo on the set, Director Yoo In-sik added, "Emotional acting and physical acting were challenges not only for Cha Eun-woo but for all the actors. Everyone had to act with dedication for the ensemble to align. Cha Eun-woo also approached the role with passion and performed well, and I am satisfied with the results."

Meanwhile, 'Wonderfuls' will be released simultaneously worldwide at 5 p.m. on the 15th.
