Actress Chae Soobin revealed the background behind her decision to appear in "Charge Me Up."

The press conference for the Netflix series "Charge Me Up" was held on the 1st at a hotel in Mapo-gu, Seoul. Director Park Su-won, along with actors Kim Young-kwang and Chae Soobin, attended the event.

"Charge Me Up" is a romantic comedy centered on a man whose artificial heart battery has run out and a woman who possesses electrical abilities. The collaboration between Kim Young-kwang, making his return to the romantic comedy genre after a long time, and Chae Soobin, who has emerged as a romance goddess, is a key point of anticipation.

The character "Baek Ho-rang," played by Kim Young-kwang, is a third-generation chaebol heir who leads a resort under Korea's top conglomerate. While he is perfect in both his work and appearance, he harbors the hidden weakness of having an "artificial heart."

Regarding what led him to join the project, Kim Young-kwang stated, "The manga-like settings and situations were so interesting that I thought, 'How can all this happen?'" He added, "I decided to take on the role because I felt it would be fun to actually experience it."

Chae Soobin takes on the role of "Na Bo-bae," a drama writer with electrical abilities, showcasing new appeal. She said, "The script itself was entertaining, but I had concerns regarding the genre, so I deliberated extensively about whether to appear in the show." She continued, "However, I was completely persuaded by the production team during our meeting."

She further explained her decision to join, noting, "They expressed confidence that they could execute it well, even though it is a familiar type of story. Above all, the narrative was incredibly cute and bouncy, yet warm." She concluded, "Drawn by such charm, I decided, 'I must do this project.'"
