Yoo Seung-ho revealed the reason why he appeared on Wave's 'Deal'.
On the 25th, domestic OTT platform Wave held the '2023 Wave Content Lineup Briefing' at the Conrad Seoul Hotel. Contents such as the entertainment show 'Blood Game 2', the original dramas 'Park Ha-kyung's Travels' and 'Deal', and the original movies 'Deadman' and 'Brave Citizen' were introduced.
'Deal', scheduled to be released in the second half of this year, is a crime thriller drama about the 'billion-won kidnapping' of two young men in their 20s who accidentally kidnapped their classmate. It is based on a webtoon of the same name, and actors Yoo Seung-ho, Kim Dong-hwi, and Yoo Soo-bin play the main roles. Directed by director Lee Jeong-gon, who won three awards at the 22nd Jeonju International Film Festival with the movie 'Not Out'.
Yoo Seung-ho plays the role of Lee Jun-seong, a young man who received attention as a promising soccer player in high school, but wandered after his dreams were shattered. Kim Dong-hwi plays Song Jae-hyo, a medical student who is the instigator of the kidnapping incident. Yoo Soo-bin played Park Min-woo, the only son of a rich family who became the victim of a billion-won kidnapping.
Yoo Seung-ho said, “The material was unique. The script was fun. The second was the character. Someday, I wanted to play a raw character like this. That was this work. The third was the director. After watching 'Not Out', I thought the director's color and feel would fit well with 'Deal'. I can't forget the director's smile when I first saw it. “It put my mind at ease and I was confident that I could rely on him,” he said, explaining his reason for appearing.
