T.O.P acts in drama series for the first time in 7 years, “I’ve waited for an opportunity to come closer to the public”
[OSEN=정소영 기자] BIGBANG’s T.O.P talked about the reason why he has not acted in drama series recently.
T.O.P hosted V-APP live-broadcasting “Secret Message Preview-T.O.P” from 8pm on the 28.
T.O.P said, “‘Secret Series’ is my first drama series in seven years since ‘Iris’. I was asked much about why I didn’t act in drama series recreantly, but actually I’ve waited for an opportunity to come closer to the public. That opportunity is ‘Secret Message’ and I really wanted to work for this series.”
“I wanted to show myself as an ordinary guy and I wanted to appeal to people with the story of young people these days. Some of my fans were worried about me doing an web-drama, but I think those worries came from a kind of prejudice against new and unfamiliar type of contents. As a young man, I wanted to try this new type of content regardless of its success. I did my best for this series with such mind, so please see and enjoy it.”, added T.O.P.
“Secret Message” is a global project that is planned and produced for not just Asian but also fans around the world. The project is carried out by CJ E&M and Japanese entertainment company AMUSE INC., as well as global messenger LINE. “Secret Message” will depict the stories of Korean man “Woo-Hyeon” (acted by Choi Seung-Hyeon) and Japanese woman “Haruka” (acted by Ueno Juri) recovering from the pain of past love and finding new love.
Choi Seung-Hyeon acts the character of “Woo-Hyeon” who still wants to believe in love even though he had experienced the pain of love, and Ueno Juri acts a woman named “Haruka” who has a lot of things to answer about love.
“Secret Message” that is drawing keen attention for the chemistry to be created between Choi Seung-Hyeon and Ueno Juri will be opened on November 2 in Asia, North America, and South America at the same time. It will be opened on NAVER TV CAST, on dTV in Japan, and on LINE TV in Thailand and Taiwan. After being opened for the first time at 8pm on November 2, the series will be unveiled on every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 10am for two weeks in both Korea and Japan.
