Actor Pyo Ji-hoon of 'True Education' revealed an unexpected episode of being the same age as actor Jang Yo-hoon, whom he had thought was much younger.

On the 16th, we met with actor Pyo Ji-hoon of the Netflix series 'True Education' at a café on Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, and exchanged various stories.

'True Education' 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'.

'Bong Geun-dae' is a genius who graduated from KAIST in just two years but is tasked with infiltrating a school by disguising himself as a student with his innate nerdiness. When Pyo Ji-hoon first appeared in a school uniform, he stated, "I couldn't help but feel self-conscious. Although it was an undercover setting, I felt the burden of having to look somewhat like a high school student, and there were parts I was disappointed with."

He continued, laughing, "But when I entered the classroom of Gwoon High Tech High, I found there were many scary friends, so I felt relieved, thinking, 'This should be fine.'"

In particular, Pyo Ji-hoon mentioned actor Jang Yo-hoon, whom he met during the juvenile offender episode. He said, "I wanted to share what I knew about how to handle things on set or points of confusion, so I offered advice like, 'I think this would work.' I really thought he was much younger," raising his voice.

He added, "But actor Jang Yo-hoon turned out to be the same age as me. There was an episode where I apologized profusely for feeling sorry. During the final shoot, I asked, 'How old are you?' I thought he was in his early 20s, but I remember apologizing sincerely when I heard he was my same age."

When asked about the most memorable episode, he pointed to Episode 5. He said, "While watching the 'troublesome parent' episode, I felt the most catharsis, laughed the most, and also felt the most frustration. I thought, 'Can such a person really exist?' so I looked up many news articles." He also added, "I also remember acting with the friends from Gwoon High Tech High in Episode 2. We went through a long hard time together, and since those friends were so helpful, I want to thank them."
