Joo Won “The hero’s name is Skunk. There are so many cool names, why?”

Actor Joo Won shared his thoughts about appearing in ‘Stealer’.

On the 11th, the production presentation for tvN's new Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Stealer: Seven Reports of Joseon' (hereinafter referred to as 'Stealer') was broadcast live online. Director Choi Jun-bae, Joo Won, Lee Joo-woo, Jo Han-cheol, Kim Jae-won, Choi Hwa-jung, and Lee Deok-hwa attended the event.

'Stealer' is a caper comic action drama in which the mysterious cultural property thief Skunk and the unofficial cultural property recovery team 'Karma' unite to take on those whom the law cannot judge.

Joo Won plays the role of Hwang Dae-myeong, a civil servant at the Cultural Heritage Administration during the day, and a skunk who steals cultural assets at night. He said, "Daemyung is an employee of the Cultural Heritage Administration and his salary is Lupine. Skunk is always active at night, so he gets tired. Daemyung and Skunk have different charms. Skunk carries on his father's will to recover cultural assets and carries out the mission. “He is a person who practices,” he said.

He continued, "When it comes to recovering cultural assets, you might think it's a serious thing, but it was solved in a cheerful way. The skunk is not a hero, but rather a search for cultural assets, so it's not all that serious."

Regarding the name skunk, he said, "At first, I thought, why is it called skunk when there are so many cool names? I got the name skunk because of the smell it gives off when it leaves."

‘Stealer’ will premiere on the 12th at 10:30 PM.
