'Agency' Jo Seong-ha "High-level lines were edited"

Actor Cho Sung-ha revealed that a high-level line was edited out of episode 2 of 'Agency'.

On the 27th, I met actor Jo Seong-ha of JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Agency' at a cafe in Apgujeong-dong, Seoul.

'Agency' is a work that depicts Go Ah-in (played by Lee Bo-young), who became the first female executive at an advertising agency VC group, and builds her career to reach the top position. It ended on the 26th.

Jo Seong-ha played the role of Choi Chang-soo, head of the VC planning planning division, who has walked the elite course with a solid path.

Jo Seong-ha said he had personal concerns when he first received the script for 'Agency'. He said, “I thought the story of Orphan, Kang Han-na (played by Son Na-eun), and Jo Eun-jeong (played by Jeon Hye-jin) was faithfully completed, but I felt that Choi Chang-soo was lacking a lot as a villain.” There was a story about how to aim for success, Kang Han-na talked about how she will build her own space within the company despite being a 3rd generation chaebol, and how Jo Eun-jung will demonstrate her abilities as a working mother while faithfully continuing her family. "The story was composed about . I thought that if Choi Chang-soo did well, this work would be complete. I thought a lot about how I could make Go Ah-in stand out more," he said.

Jo Seong-ha also changed his voice tone for the obnoxious but cute villain character. He said, "If you're a villain, you have to stir things up and turn things around. I try, but I can't turn things around every time, and I fight, but I'm a character who explodes, so I was worried about how to sympathize with the viewers," he said. "I raised the tone of my voice a little more to bring out the meanness and meanness." .

The most difficult scene to act was the scene in episode 2 where he scolds Go Ah-in, asking, "Why are you so greedy?" Jo Seong-ha said, "There were high-level lines in the script at the time. I thought a lot about the level on set and also thought about it in editing. In the end, that part was edited out on the air."

He added, "Although our broadcast time is late, I think it was edited because young people could see it. It was at a level that could humiliate Goans. It was a line that was too difficult to say in words."
