Director Hong Jong-chan of 'True Education' expressed his grateful feelings toward Kim Mu-yeol.

On the 11th, I met with Director Hong Jong-chan, who directed the Netflix series 'True Education,' at a café on Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, and had a wide-ranging conversation.

'True Education' is a work that depicts the bold activities of the School Authority Protection Bureau, which stands on the side of victims to correct schools. It breaks through the confusion and conflict occurring in the educational field in a way different from before, delivering a refreshing sense of liberation.

Director Hong Jong-chan, who has presented social messages and delicate, character-centered direction through 'Youth Judge' and 'Dear My Friends,' tells the story of a collapsed educational field from various perspectives.

Regarding Kim Mu-yeol, Director Hong Jong-chan said, "I was truly grateful," adding that while working together on 'Youth Judge,' he came to realize that Kim Mu-yeol is an actor who excels in everything from emotional acting to comedy. There is no need to mention his action skills. He is a versatile actor like a 'pal-bang-mi-in' (all-rounder)," he stated.

He further added, "Through this work, I wanted to properly showcase the charm of actor Kim Mu-yeol. We relied on each other a lot even during filming."

He also revealed that he received a call from actress Kim Hye-soo after the release of 'True Education.' Director Hong said, "Senior Hye-soo told me, 'Kim Mu-yeol is a really good actor, and I am so happy that the world is getting to know him more,' and I felt good about it too. That shows how hard actor Kim Mu-yeol really worked," he conveyed.

He continued, "There were many scenes where I had to work in sync with rookie actors, and I put in several times more effort to bring out the energy of my co-actors. I feel good that viewers seem to have noticed that part," he said.

Regarding the newly created series original character 'Bong-geun-dae' in 'True Education,' he explained, "It plays a role in guiding viewers to accept heavy stories that are connected to reality in a more comfortable way."

He further said, "Rather than having a childish image, he has a lovely charm that allows him to naturally meet students at their level by disguising himself as a student. He is an actor with very rich sensibility and someone who constantly strives as an actor. Above all, his attitude toward the work was so sincere that I was moved. His chemistry with rookie actors was excellent, and he is a very delicate actor," he praised.
