Ko Hyun Jung was present at the press conference for Daemul on the 29th at the Lotte Hotel in Jamsil, Seoul, where she remarked “My character, President Seo Hae Rim, says things that cannot be spoken in politics”, adding that “viewers will be fully satisfied with that.”

Daemul (Writer Yoo Dong Yun, Director Oh Jong Rok, Cho Hyun Tak) portrays the story of Korea’s first elected female president.

Ko Hyung Jung portrays ‘Seo Hae Rim’, a woman who is fired from her job as an announcer after protesting her husband’s unfortunate death and finding herself on the path to the Parliament and into a politician.


Ko Hyun Jung said “While the prospect of portraying a female president was daunting, it was nice to have a supportive director and cast during filming”, adding “we ask for your anticipation.”

Recently having worked with younger male leads such as Cho In Sung, Kim Nam Gil and Chun Jeon Myung, Ko Hyun Jung responded jokingly to questions about working with ‘hitched’ men Kwon Sang Woo and Cha In Pyo with “I am not picky. There’s always a possibility and when a opportunity comes, I’ll pounce.”

In this project, Kwon Sang Woo portrays ‘Ha Do Ya’, a passionate, unshakeable yet unpredictable prosecutor who is instrumental in making ‘Seo Hae Rim’ president.


Kwon Sang Woo said “This isn’t your regular stiff prosecutor but one who is fun and fresh that has never been seen on TV before, who is important in making Ko Hyung Jung president”, adding “I think that Daemul has a very strong plot and story. Cheer us on.”

Along with Ko Hyun Jung and Kwon Sang Woo, SBS’s new Wed/Thu drama Daemul also stars Cha In Pyo as ‘Kang Tae San’, who dreams of becoming the next president, and Lee Soo Kyeong, who portrays ‘Jang Sae Jin’ Chung Hwa Dae’s curator.

Daemul is set to air on October 6 at 9:55 pm.
