Set in the Chosun Dynasty’s Sungkyunkwan, the youthful students’ story of growing up and romance, the drama airing on KBS2 on Mondays and Tuesdays, “Sungkyunkwan Scandal” held its production conference. The production presentation was held on the afternoon of 17 August, in the Vista Hall of W Hotel in Gwangjang-dong, and Park Yoochun, Park Min Young, Song Joong Gi, Yu Ah In, Jun Tae Soo, Seo Hyo Rim other actors as well as production staff were present.

Director Kim Won Seok PD said, “ In the original story, the 4 characters’ story was centralized around romance and friendship, and we added a little bit of a social message. In the drama, the love and friendship shared by the 4 youths as they grow up is discussed, and the youths’ ambitious fight against the existing powers is displayed. However, there isn’t too big a difference from the actual story.

When asked about TVXQ member Park Yoochun’s casting story, “Although I was not involved in the casting process, even if I was doing the casting, I would pick Yoochun. Amidst the worry and anticipation, Park Yoochun has shown good acting skills, and possesses good looks and voice. He is the best casting (for the role)” he praised. Park Yoochun said, “ Without realizing it myself, I became deeply involved in the drama, and enjoyed it. During the shoot, it was hot so that was a problem, but we were passionate about making it a good production, so we worked hard.”

Song Joong Gi said, “ Unlike Goo Yong Ha, who looks cheerful on the outside but is actually very serious, “SungKyunKwan Scandal” is a light hearted and good drama. All the actors really worked humbly and seriously during the shoot. “ he revealed. “Sungkyunkwan Scandal” is set in the Chosun Dynasty’s SungKyunKwan, the first top education institution in history, where Lee Seon Joon (Yoochun), Kim Yoon Hee (Park Min Young), Goo Yong Ha (Song Joong Gi), Moon Jae Shin (Yu Ah In), begin their campus romance story in the Chosun Era. “SungKyunKwan Scandal” is set to air on 30 August, replacing “Gumiho : Tale of the Fox’s Child.”
