Actor Kim Mu-yeol shared his unique connection with fellow "School 2024" cast member Yoo Tae-joo.

On the 10th, the YouTube channel "Netflix Korea" released a video titled "People Curious About the 'School 2024' Part 2 Making-of Gather in the 'Curious People Club'! | Yes, We're Here to Promote 'School 2024'."

In the released video, Kim Mu-yeol revealed his connection with actor Yoo Tae-joo, who plays Park Seong-hwan. He said, "The friend who played Park Seong-hwan at Gwoon High Tech High came as an extra playing a student soldier at a film shoot in Namyangju a long time ago. He came up to me and asked me to take a picture, saying, 'I'm acting.' We promised to meet again in a future project, and we really did. It was very meaningful."

He also explained the action scene at Gwoon High Tech High, saying, "(Park) Seong-hwan has practiced MMA for a long time, and In-beom (played by Ok Jin-wook) has practiced boxing for a long time, so both of them moved very well from the start."

He praised them further, stating, "In a one-versus-many action scene, it's difficult for many people. You have to attack without thinking and take hits yourself. This scene involved throwing chairs and other tricky elements, but they did so well that it ended quickly."

Yoo Tae-joo also recently shared his thoughts on appearing in "School 2024" on his SNS, saying, "I took a photo with senior Kim Mu-yeol at my first extra set, moved by his kindness. It was truly touching to be able to work together on set three years later."

Meanwhile, "School 2024" is a Netflix series depicting the bold activities of the School Rights Protection Bureau, which stands on the side of victims to correct schools. Since its release on the 5th, it recorded 6.4 million views (calculated by dividing total viewing time by the series' total runtime) within three days, topping the global Top 10 non-English shows list.
