Actor Jin Sun-kyu is set to showcase a "top-tier villain" through "The 100-Day Lie."

The production press conference for tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama "The 100-Day Lie" (directed by Yoo In-sik and Kim Yun-jin, written by Ryu Bo-ri), a special project marking the network's 20th anniversary, was held on the afternoon of the 29th at CGV Yongsan iPark Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Director Yoo In-sik and actors Kim Yu-jung, Park Jin-young, Kim Hyeon-ju, Lee Mu-seong, and Jin Sun-kyu attended.

Jin Sun-kyu said, "This character's desire to be recognized grows strong, and he expresses it through the weak. While it is not something that can be easily understood, I had many discussions with the director to bring the performance to life. Because we are showing the appearance of an unforgivable villain, I did not try to beautify him."

He added, "The role is of a Japanese person who was born and raised in Korea. Therefore, I needed to love Japan even more and speak Japanese well. Since I did not know hiragana, I lived in Japan for two months and memorized the script for seven hours a day continuously. It felt like I could not keep up otherwise. I also took Japanese lessons."

Jin Sun-kyu particularly previewed a new villain through this work, stating, "I created this role with the intention of erasing Wi Seong-rak from the movie 'The Outlaws.'"

"The 100-Day Lie" is a 100-day spy romance that unfolds as the best pickpocket in Gyeongseong, who has become a secret agent, and an elite interpreter from the Jo Seon (총독) Ministry face off in the heart of enemy territory. Director Yoo In-sik, who directed "Dr. Romantic" and "Extraordinary Attorney Woo," is at the helm, while writer Ryu Bo-ri, known for "Do You Like Brahms?", added to the work's quality.

Kim Yu-jung plays Lee Ga-kyung, who goes undercover as an interpreter trainee for the Jo Seon (총독) Ministry for 100 days after being the best pickpocket in Gyeongseong. Park Jin-young portrays Sato Hideo (played by Kim Tae-ung), an elite interpreter from the Jo Seon (총독) Ministry.

Kim Hyeon-ju plays Yoo So-ran, a decisive figure who is a sniper for the anti-Japanese group Guksokdan and infiltrates Lee Ga-kyung into the Jo Seon (총독) Ministry. Lee Mu-seong plays Yoo Philip, an American correspondent of Korean descent, while Jin Sun-kyu portrays Sato Shinichi, the Political Inspector General of the Jo Seon (총독) Ministry.
