The main character of ‘Rookie Director Kim Yeon-koung’, Kim Yeon-koung, expressed her struggles with the overwhelming schedule.
In the MBC entertainment program ‘Rookie Director Kim Yeon-koung’ aired on the 19th, Kim Yeon-koung was seen scouting for the ‘Inter High’.
The ‘Inter High’ is Japan's largest high school volleyball tournament, which serves as the backdrop for the anime ‘Haikyuu!!’. The Wonder Dogs, aiming for victory, went to observe the opposing team, Shujitsu High School, who are the strongest team in Japanese high school volleyball, before their match.
While analyzing the strength of the opposing team, Kim Yeon-koung stated, “I thought it wouldn’t be easy, but they have their own composition. I believe we have a good chance of winning.”
Kim Yeon-koung returned directly from Japan to Korea to coach her players. She expressed her determination, saying, “We must win the Korea-Japan match.” She added, “I haven’t had a day off this week. I don’t plan to rest next week either,” showing her commitment to the game.
She also joked, “Thinking about this week and next week makes me want to cry a little. I hope you don’t talk about that,” lightening the mood.
In response, the production team admired, “It seems you are working harder than when you were a player,” to which Kim Yeon-koung replied, “I was deceived by MBC. I was deceived by the PD. They are complete frauds. I lost my voice and my personal life. I’m curious how my voice will come out on air,” and added, “The interview is long. Why do you keep asking questions? It’s 11 PM.”
