'Actor Pyo Ji-hoon revealed the key aspects he focused on to portray his character in 'Chamgyoyuk'.

'The press conference for the Netflix series 'Chamgyoyuk' was held on the 5th at Ambassador Seoul Fullman Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul. Director Hong Jong-chan, along with actors Kim Mu-yeol, Lee Sung-min, Jin Ki-ju, and Pyo Ji-hoon, attended the event and shared various stories.

'Chamgyoyuk' is a work depicting the bold activities of the School Authority Protection Bureau, which stands on the side of victims to reform schools.

'Pyo Ji-hoon plays the newly created series original character 'Bong Geun-dae' in 'Chamgyoyuk'. 'Bong Geun-dae' is a genius who graduated from KAIST in just two years but disguises himself as a student with his innate nerdiness to infiltrate the school on a mission.

'Pyo Ji-hoon said, "I read the script with great enjoyment and really wanted to participate. I particularly enjoyed watching Netflix's 'Youth Judgment,' and when Director Hong Jong-chan reached out, I was eager to join. Additionally, when I learned that Senior Lee Sung-min and Senior Kim Mu-yeol would also be involved, I remember telling the director that I really wanted to be part of this project."

'He continued with a laugh, "In fact, I think my image greatly helped with the casting. My naive and not-so-smart image seemed to be an advantage, so I tried hard to leverage that aspect."

'Director Hong Jong-chan conveyed, "'Bong Geun-dae' must be someone the audience can easily root for within 'Chamgyoyuk'. He needs to be lovable and grow through being pushed around by the three seniors. We offered the casting because he was so lovable when we saw him on variety shows."
