Ji-yeon Kim transferred to a new school and received an F grade

Jiyeon Kim is invited to the pyramid game.

On the 8th, TVING's original series 'Pyramid Game' released the first still of Seong Soo-ji (played by Kim Ji-yeon, Cosmic Girls' Bona), a transfer student who will bring about a change in the ranking war. 'Pyramid Game' depicts a cruel survival ranking war in which the students are divided into perpetrators, victims, and bystanders in class 5 of Baekyeon Girls' High School, where outcasts are selected by secret ballot once a month, and gradually fall into violence.

Based on the popular Naver webtoon of the same name (written by Dalcognac), which opened a new world of school psychological thrillers with an unconventional and original worldview, Seong Su-ji awakens as a game sniper who breaks down the hierarchy pyramid in Target, and the brain battle between students. and psychological warfare will provide thrilling catharsis.

The collaboration between 'Holy Idol' director Park So-yeon and new writer Choi Su-i delicately and sharply depicts the unpredictable psychology of high school girls. The fact that director Jae-gyu Lee, a hit maker who directed the movie 'Perfect Stranger', the drama 'Now in Our School', and 'Morning Comes Even in the Psychiatric Ward', participated as a creator, also raises expectations for the birth of a unique K-school product. Above all, attention is also drawn to the synergy of fresh and unique newcomers such as Kim Ji-yeon, Jang Da-ah, Ryu Da-in, Shin Seul-gi, Kang Na-eon, Jeong Ha-dam, and Ha Yu-ri.

The released photo stimulates curiosity with the polar opposite atmosphere of Seong Su-ji, who transferred to Baekyeon Girls' High School's second year class 5. Seong Su-ji, who has a perfect level of knowledge, found it a piece of cake to adapt to a new class due to frequent transfers. An unexpected game comes to him. In class 5 of the 2nd grade, there was a 'pyramid game' rule in which an outcast was selected by secret ballot once a month.

Seong Su-ji's school life is full of chaos as she was transferred to the lowest grade, F grade, upon transferring to another school. Seong Su-ji's changed eyes, angry at the legal bullying game, suggest a change. Expectations are high for Seong Soo-ji's performance, as she chose to attack head-on instead of holding on, and whether she can bring about a seismic change in the solid ranking pyramid.

Seong Su-ji, who entered the cruel ranking war, plays an active role as a sniper who will end the pyramid game. Kim Ji-yeon said of Seong Soo-ji's character, "She is a confident and smart person. Like other 2nd grade and 5th grade students, she does not accept or give up on the 'pyramid game'. She is not just nice and cold-hearted, but she is not cold. She is 'cool'. “I think words suit me best,” he explained. He continued, “I tried to focus on this aspect while acting.”

Kim Ji-yeon, who is attempting a unique transformation as Seong Su-ji, said that she found the script fresh and interesting from the first time she read it. Jiyeon Kim chose ‘brain battle’ as a keyword to explain ‘Pyramid Game’. He also said, “It is attractive that students do not confront violence with violence, but instead confront it in other ways within the game.”

‘Pyramid Game’ will be released on TVING on the 29th.
