'Chamgyoyuk' actor Pyo Ji-hoon said, "I am so happy," regarding the reactions since the series was released.

'Chamgyoyuk' actor Pyo Ji-hoon met at a cafe on Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, on the 16th, and had a wide-ranging conversation.

'Chamgyoyuk' is a work depicting the bold activities of the School Authority Protection Bureau, which stands on the side of victims to correct schools. Pyo Ji-hoon took on the newly created series original character 'Bong Geun-dae'.

'Chamgyoyuk' actor Pyo Ji-hoon said about the reason for appearing in the series, "I read the script for the first time without having seen the original webtoon, and the script itself was so fun."

'Chamgyoyuk' actor Pyo Ji-hoon continued, "The fictional setting of the School Authority Protection Bureau itself was interesting, and as I read the script, scenes of 'Bong Geun-dae' naturally came to mind. I had only read Kim Mu-yeol's action scenes in text, and I could even imagine how he would act."

'Chamgyoyuk' actor Pyo Ji-hoon added, "I was so entertained while reading the script. Just imagining how Mu-yeol and senior Lee Sung-min would express this script made me look forward to it, and I was curious about what kind of appearance Jin Ki-ju would show. Hearing the news of the actors' casting made me want to participate even more."

'Chamgyoyuk' has been attracting hot popularity by ranking first in Netflix's 'Top 10 Series in South Korea Today' and then topping Netflix's 'Global Top 10 Non-English Shows' and Flicks Patrol's 'Netflix Global TV Shows' category. Pyo Ji-hoon said, "Actually, it still doesn't feel real, but I am so happy," and smiled broadly. He continued, "We are sharing the good news in the group chat with the director and actors, and spending each day. I am trying not to miss this moment."

'Chamgyoyuk' actor Pyo Ji-hoon also said, "I don't use SNS directly, so it's not easy to see the reactions, but people around me sent me screenshots. Seeing reactions like 'In other works, there were times when I felt awkward, but here the acting is really good' made me feel proud."

'Chamgyoyuk' actor Pyo Ji-hoon added, "I also received many calls from acquaintances. Zico recently contacted me and said, 'I made time to watch 'Chamgyoyuk'. I'm watching it while cutting down on sleep, and it's so fun.'"

'Chamgyoyuk' actor Pyo Ji-hoon continued, "Moon Se-yun also enjoyed the work. He especially said, 'It seems like the role where you shout 'Oh' the most since Maeng-gu.' He also laughed, saying, 'Actually, during filming, we shot about 50 versions of the 'Oh' scene.'"

'Chamgyoyuk' actor Pyo Ji-hoon added, "However, I am very grateful for the praise, but even when I first saw the edited version, I only saw my own shortcomings. I even doubted, 'Is this really praise?' and I try to filter out the praise so I don't get too excited."
