Actress Jin Ki-ju shared her thoughts on receiving global attention for 'True Education'.

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.

'True Education' has been gaining immense popularity, ranking first in Netflix's 'Top 10 Series in South Korea Today' and topping both the 'Global Top 10 Non-English TV Shows' on Netflix and the 'Global TV Shows' category on FlixPatrol since its release.

Jin Ki-ju said, "It was a work that we filmed in a truly harmonious and enjoyable manner, so I think it is truly a grateful thing that it has received so much love."

She expressed that she feels the popularity through her SNS follower count, stating, "I check it as soon as I wake up. It's fascinating when the numbers change from the previous day. Recently, I've had memories of it being fascinating that overseas fans knew my former profession, and some even created a timeline for me." She added, "It is both fascinating and grateful that people are showing interest not only in the work but also in me as a person."

She continued, "Even though the global rankings and figures are clearly visible, I think the expression that it still feels unbelievable is the most accurate. I feel that something grateful is happening. I think it's good that this work can give a proud memory to everyone who thought deeply, worked hard, and exerted themselves for several months. Since this is my first experience with global popularity, I feel a sense of reality that it is 'huge'."

In this sense, the work 'True Education' holds a special meaning for actress Jin Ki-ju. She stated, "Since this is the first time so many people have watched the work I created, it really resonates with me. I received many more messages saying they watched the work well than ever before, and through that, I have come to feel it. Through this work, I have realized even more how grateful it is that so many people are watching my work."
