'Unlucky Misdiagnosis Day' actress Lee Jeong-eun lost weight for her character.

On the morning of the 11th, an interview with Lee Jeong-eun from TVING's original 'Unlucky Misdiagnosis Day' was conducted at a cafe located in Jongno-gu, Seoul. 'The Day of Misdiagnosis' is the story of an ordinary taxi driver, Oh Taek (played by Lee Seong-min), who picks up a customer (played by Yoo Yeon-seok) who offers a high price to Mukpo, but begins a journey of fear when he realizes that he is a serial killer. Lee Jeong-eun played the role of Hwang Soon-gyu (played by Lee Jeong-eun), who did not appear in the original work. Hwang Soon-gyu is a character who pursues Geum Hyuk-soo (Lee Byung-min/Yoo Yeon-seok) after his son's sudden death.

On this day, Lee Jeong-eun mentioned the process of preparing for the character in the play. He said, "I had a lot of swelling at the time, and the director said it would be good for me to lose weight as well. Since emotional exhaustion occurs while suffering such damage, I thought it should be expressed externally, so I thought about that a lot. The dryness of the protagonist of 'Three Billboards' “We decided to create a dry and dry feeling,” he explained.

Lee Jeong-eun said, "I steadily adjusted my diet for about 4 months. You can't do that in a short period of time. I lost more than 10 kg. You can compare it to (the previous Netflix series) 'Mental Ward'. But I lost it in a healthy way. I also exercised. The appearance fee was good. “There was someone who adjusted my diet,” he said.

Part 2 of ‘Unlucky Misdiagnosis Day’ was released through TVING on the 8th.
