Jung Yunho Brings Passion to 'Fine: Country Bumpkins' at Disney+ Press Conference

Jung Yunho, also known as U-Know Yunho, showcased his enthusiasm in preparing for 'Fine: Country Bumpkins'.

On the 8th, a press conference for the Disney+ original series 'Fine: Country Bumpkins' (hereafter referred to as 'Fine') was held at the Conrad Seoul Hotel in Yeouido-dong, Seoul. The event was attended by director Kang Yoon-sung and actors Ryu Seung-ryong, Yang Se-jong, Im Soo-jung, Kim Eui-sung, Kim Sung-oh, Kim Jong-soo, Lee Dong-hwi, Jung Yunho, Lee Sang-jin, and Kim Min.

'Fine' is set in 1977 and tells the story of country bumpkins who gather to claim a treasure ship buried under the sea. It is based on the webtoon 'Fine'.

Jung Yunho takes on the role of Beol-gu, a gangster from Mokpo. Describing his character, he said, "Beol-gu is a cousin to Heung-gi (played by Lee Dong-hwi). He hears about the treasure in Mokpo and sides with Professor Kim (played by Kim Eui-sung). Although he is a troublemaker, he doesn't just show a hot-tempered side; he also displays a warm-hearted side."

Jung Yunho shared, "Beol-gu is quite different from me. I felt some mental pressure while preparing. However, I prepared attractively in terms of language (dialect), fashion, and internal aspects." He added, "A word from senior Ryu Seung-ryong helped me. He said, 'It's no joke. Come prepared.' The lessons were no joke. I filmed safely and enjoyably. (Ryu Seung-ryong's encouragement) made me feel alive," he said, eliciting laughter. Recently, Jung Yunho's song 'Thank U' with lyrics mentioning 'first lesson, second lesson, third lesson' has been trending, and his response reminded people of it. When asked how many lessons there were, Jung Yunho humorously replied, "There were invisible lessons," adding to the laughter.

'Fine' will be available on Disney+ starting the 16th.
