Actress Gong Seung-yeon transforms into a travel reporter with five years of experience, coming from an idol background.
Channel A's new weekend drama "We Will Substitute Your Travels" (written by Jeong Hoe-hyun, directed by Kang Sol) depicts the journey of a travel reporter, who has never been the center of attention in life, as she substitutes for requested travels and realizes the true meaning of success and life.
Through the fresh theme of "substitute travel," the drama promises overwhelming visual beauty capturing beautiful landscapes both domestically and internationally, as well as deep empathy and comfort through the stories of clients with unique backgrounds.
Additionally, the perfect acting ensemble of actors with different charms, including Gong Seung-yeon, Yoo Jun-sang, and Kim Jae-young, is expected to provide viewers with true healing and emotional resonance, harmonizing with the warm and humanistic story.
In the recently released stills, Gong Seung-yeon captivates attention as she fully immerses herself in the character of Kang Yu-reum, a travel reporter with diverse charms. In the first still, she is seen wearing a neat sky-blue shirt and a microphone, flashing a bright smile in front of the camera.
Gong Seung-yeon's radiant visuals, harmonizing with the clear and refreshing background, provide a pleasant energy just by looking at them, showcasing her professionalism as a reporter and leaving a deep impression. Particularly, her serious expression during the shoot conveys a sense of ease that comes with five years of experience, while her warm smile offers comfort.
In another still, she is seen in a more casual outfit, giving a glimpse into the daily life of Yu-reum as an on-site reporter. Her unpretentious and natural appearance, along with her friendly expression, exudes the positive energy and warm humanity that Yu-reum possesses, making viewers smile.
The final still shows her in a travel destination against a backdrop of lush nature, perfectly embodying the drama's core concept of "substitute travel." Instead of a microphone, Yu-reum is seen carrying a backpack and a crossbody bag, completing a travel-optimized style that catches the eye.
Moreover, her expression reflects a mix of excitement for new challenges and a subtle tension, heightening expectations for the changes and growth she will experience in the future. Having quietly walked her own path with sincerity after overcoming the pain of her past idol days, Yu-reum's growth story through substitute travel piques curiosity.
The production team stated, "The character Kang Yu-reum has become a more three-dimensional and charming figure through Gong Seung-yeon," adding, "With Gong Seung-yeon's unique charm and acting skills, viewers will be deeply moved and healed. You can look forward to it."
Meanwhile, Channel A's new weekend drama "We Will Substitute Your Travels" will premiere on August 2 at 9:20 PM.
