Actress Jin Ki-ju revealed the reasons behind her choice of 'True Education' and her thoughts on corporal punishment.

On the 16th, we met with Jin Ki-ju, an actress in the Netflix series 'True Education', at a café on Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, to discuss the work.

'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. Jin Ki-ju plays 'Im Han-rim', a supervisor from the Special Warfare Command.

Regarding her reasons for choosing 'True Education', Jin Ki-ju said, "It was very good that victims could be clearly protected within the work. It should be natural, but in the reality we live in, things that should be natural often do not happen naturally."

She continued, "But in this work, those natural things are naturally realized, which gave me a sense of relief. I also wished that reality could be like this. I also had faith that the writer would depict this story warmly, and I had great trust in Director Hong Jong-chan."

As he prepared the work, he became interested in school issues in reality as well. He said, "There were many times when reality felt even more intense than the drama. I also thought, 'It has changed so much since my school days.' I also had conversations with the director and senior actors about related issues, and I think I resolved to prepare even better every time I encountered such cases."

Regarding his school days, he smiled, saying, "I liked playing around, but I liked being praised even more, so I was a student who studied hard."

He also shared his thoughts on corporal punishment. Jin Ki-ju said, "Personally, I think corporal punishment is an act that carries a lot of danger. Especially, 'Han-rim' in the work is from the Special Warfare Command, having undergone tremendous training to possess abilities different from ordinary people. Therefore, when dealing with students, the director focused on defense rather than attack when composing the action scenes, and I also thought that direction was correct."
