At the production presentation event for Netflix’s Chicken Nugget, Ahn Jae-Hong, who plays one of the lead roles, Go Baek-Joong, discusses his character in the series. As per My Daily, he explains, “He is the only intern at All Machinery, and has a crush on Mina, the daughter of CEO Choi Sun-man, even though he secretly thinks he is. He is also the only witness to the absurd incident in which Mina was turned into chicken soup….In order to get Minah, my unrequited love, back, I go through an unimaginable struggle with CEO Choi Sun-man.”
Ahn Jae-Hong further says he looked into the original webtoon for reference for his character, Go Baek-Joong, in the series Chicken Nugget. He continues, “I first read the script and then looked at the webtoon for reference. As soon as I saw the webtoon, I thought, ‘This is what I have to do.’ I got the impression that their appearances were similar. Externally, they had parted hair, but there was a lot of similarity. I could feel it. I had a strong desire to embody the feeling that the character from the original webtoon had popped out.”
Meanwhile, as reported by Sports Seoul, actress Kim Yoo-Jung also talks about her part in the upcoming series Chicken Nugget during the production presentation event. The actress says, “This story was more surprising than my setting….That’s why I wanted to participate,…I was worried because the part where I appeared was short and thick, but in the end, I did it with the feeling of going out to have fun.”
