Actor Kim Ji-hoon (45) cited senior actress Kim Hye-soo (56) as the reason for joining 'Now in an Affair Is Not a Problem.'

On the morning of the 28th, a production announcement for Coupang Play's new OTT series 'Now in an Affair Is Not a Problem' (hereinafter referred to as 'Affair') was held at Ambassador Seoul Fullman Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul. Director Lee Chang-hee and actors Kim Hye-soo, Jo Yeo-jeong, Kim Ji-hoon, and Kim Jae-cheol attended the event.

'Now in an Affair' is a runaway chain-reaction black comedy in which the lives of two couples become entangled with an unbearable secret that makes even infidelity seem trivial: Kyung-hee (played by Kim Hye-soo), a popular influencer who has sold out her happy family, and her younger husband Jae-hong (played by Kim Ji-hoon); and neighboring doctor couple Soo-jung (played by Jo Yeo-jeong) and Bo-seong (played by Kim Jae-cheol), who are in the midst of a messy divorce lawsuit.

When asked about his reason for joining the project, Kim Ji-hoon immediately replied, "The chemistry with senior actress Kim Hye-soo, whom I have long admired."

He added, "I have watched Kim Hye-soo's works since I was very young, even as a child. I always felt, 'Wow, she is a celebrity.' Even as I grew up and continued watching her, she remained incredibly versatile in her roles, always looking magnificent no matter what character she portrayed. That is why I wanted to be part of her projects."

Kim Ji-hoon emphasized, "Maintaining the top position for so long must be truly difficult. There has always been deep respect. The fact that I was able to work alongside her, and even play a couple with her, became an overwhelmingly large reason for my participation—99% of it."

'Now in an Affair' will be released on the 31st at 8 p.m. on Coupang Play. It is available free of charge to all Coupang Wow members as well as general members.
