In the released video, Ji-seob said about his role as Department Manager Kim, "I play the role of a father with a high school daughter. It's my first time playing a father, so I'm personally curious about how Ji-seob will portray that. I wonder if it will fit and if I did well."

When asked if the title 'Uncle' felt awkward, he laughed and said, "I was called 'Uncle' in the drama 'Sorry, I Love You'. I've been called 'Uncle' for 21 years since then, so that's not awkward, but being called 'Dad' is awkward."

Regarding scenes where he wears an apron and takes charge of kitchen work in the drama, when Ha Ji-young asked, "Do you do housework at home too?", Ji-seob replied, "I do a lot," revealing a surprising charm.

Ha Ji-young mentioned Ji-seob, who was famous for his 'waste sorting' duties during his public service period, and Ji-seob replied, "I still do various things whenever I have time," bringing laughter to the set.

Meanwhile, regarding the description of 'Department Manager Kim' as the 'Korean version of Taken', Ji-seob said, "I am very grateful. Liam Neeson is still doing action even now. He is so cool." He added, "I have no problem with my stamina. It's just that my joints aren't in good condition," which made the burst into laughter.

Speaking about the action scenes in the work, he revealed, "There are various actions, from bare-handed to using a knife, and I also ask my colleagues for help. When Max Hoon, Yoon Kyung-ho, and I appear in the same frame, it's fun right away. I try to put emotion into the action. I don't just want to punish and hit; I strive to show as much emotion as possible with a single punch."

Ji-seob also expressed his wish, "Personally, I hope the viewership rating exceeds 10%."
