On the afternoon of the 15th, a production presentation for Genie TV's original 'Oh! Youngsimi' was held at the Ramada Hotel in Guro-gu, Seoul. An online live broadcast was also conducted. Actors Song Ha-yoon, Lee Dong-hae, Lee Min-jae, Jung Woo-yeon, and MC Eun-hyuk attended.
'oh! ‘Youngsimi’ is a bickering romantic comedy drama about Yeongsim (played by Song Ha-yoon) and Gyeong-tae (played by Lee Dong-hae), who meet again after 20 years, going from childhood friends to adults. A realistic, relatable story has been added to the emotions of the original cartoon movie 'Youngsimi'.
Lee Dong-hae returns to the small screen nine years after the drama ‘God’s Quiz’. He explained, "It was a moment when I chose 'Youngsimi'. It was interesting to think of the cartoon 'Youngsimi' and do 'that Gyeongtae'. I was nervous and excited without knowing it."
He continued, "I was wondering how I could bring entertainment to more viewers. It was both a joy and a burden to play Gyeong-tae, whom I grew up watching as a child. I think Gyeong-tae will be able to feel a new way of thinking, 'This is how he grew up.'"
'oh! ‘Youngsimi’ will be released for the first time on the 15th at 10 PM on Genie TV, Genie TV Mobile, ENA, and TVING.
