In the released video, PD Na Young-seok is shown preparing a lunchbox for Lee Seo-jin and the theater team of "Uncle Vanya." Na Young-seok made boiled pork and bean sprout soup, visited the practice room, and delivered it to the actors.

While conversing with the "Uncle Vanya" team, Na Young-seok asked the director about the reason for casting Lee Seo-jin.

Regarding theater practice, Lee Seo-jin revealed, "We practiced the whole thing twice, but this morning I was so exhausted I really couldn't get up." He continued, "I've been nervous every single day until the start. It's so frustrating," expressing his honest feelings.

He also added, "It feels like 'Grandpa Over Flowers'." He noted, "'Grandpa Over Flowers' was the program where I was most nervous, but that ended after ten days. However, this one involves two months of practice and a month of performances," revealing his sense of burden.

Upon hearing this, Ko Ah-seong said, "I didn't know you were so nervous," while another actor shared, "My nose was completely worn out."

Na Young-seok exclaimed, "I've never seen anyone work like this," and the actors unanimously agreed, "He really works hard."
