'No Need for Goo Pil-soo' Side Says "Jeong Dong-won Did Amazingly Well in His First Acting Role"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] Singer Jung Dong-won takes his first step as an actor.

On the 5th, KT Studio Genie revealed, "In 'No Need for Goo Pil-soo,' which will be released in May, Jung Dong-won plays the role of the troubled middle schooler Goo Jun-pyo," and released stills.

'No Need for Goo Pil-soo' depicts the story of Goo Pil-soo (played by Kwak Do-won), the owner of a chicken restaurant who has a family but no house to live in, and Jung Seok (played by Yoon Doo-joon), a young entrepreneur who has ideas but no money to start a business, as they bicker and unfold their story.

Jung Dong-won plays Goo Jun-pyo, the son of Goo Pil-soo, the chicken restaurant owner, and Nam Seong-mi (played by Han Go-eun), a luxury goods salesperson from a prestigious university. Curious about everything in the world but only worrying, he suppresses all his emotions for his hardworking parents and considers hip-hop as an outlet for his feelings.

Goo Jun-pyo writes his unspeakable worries into hip-hop lyrics and continues small acts of rebellion, but an incident ignites the spark of his ticking emotional time bomb. Ultimately, Jun-pyo, the last hope of the Pil-soo family, sheds the label of the good son and opens the door to an intense middle school syndrome he has never experienced before.

The production team said, "It's hard to believe that this is Jung Dong-won's first acting challenge because he is doing so well," and added, "Please pay attention to the new side he will show as an actor."

KT Studio Genie's first drama of 2022, 'No Need for Goo Pil-soo,' is scheduled to air in May on Olleh TV and online video services (OTT) seezn, as well as on SkyTV's comprehensive drama and entertainment channel.
