[Interview 1] Na Youngseok “Lee Seojin ↔ Cha Seungwon, I wanted them to trade places”
The casts for the farming village and fishing village has changed. Cha Seungwon, ‘Cha-jumma’, and Yoo Haejin, “Cham Bada”, have moved from the fishing village to planting rice in Gochang, Jeonbuk, whereas Lee Seojin, who had lived at Jeongseon, Gangwondo, will be entering Deukryangdo, an island 30 minutes away from Nokdong Fishing Port. Something that’s a little more different is that Lee Seojin will be driving the boat himself.
This could already be sensed when Cha Seungwon was sent to the farming village on tvN’s “Three Meals a Day - Gochang”. During the press conference, PD Na Youngseok had hinted that someone will have to go to the island. It turns out, he had planned to have Lee Seojin join in “Fishing Village 3″. Just as expected, Lee Seojin has joined “Three Meals a Day - Fishing Village 3″ as the eldest cast. The show premieres on 4 Oct.
In an interview with OSEN, PD Na said, “When I sent Cha Seungwon to the farming village, I was already thinking, ‘What would it be like to have them trade places?’. That’s why I planned to send Lee Seojin to the island in the later half of this year.” It feels like you can already hear his grumbles to PD Na Youngseok.
The other casts that will be living the life on the island with him are Shinhwa’s Eric and actor Yoon Kyunsang. For Lee Seojin, the one bright spot is that he knows Eric, when they met 12 years ago through the drama “Phoenix”. In reality, when the two met at the first meeting for “Three Meals a Day - Fishing VIllage 3″, they greeted each other happily.
PD Na said, “When thinking who would be suitable, I thought of Eric, who Lee Seojin had worked together with in ‘Phoenix’. I know that during ‘Phoenix’, Lee Seojin and Eric were close, even when off-screen. Of course, that was a long time ago, when Eric just started acting. The two of them have similarities in their personalities. They’re different yet similar. I thought they’d work well together so I casted him, and be it Eric or Lee Seojin, both are extremely happy.”
Lee Seojin, Eric and the youngest cast, Yoon Kyunsang have headed to Deukryangdo, through Nokdong Fishing Port, on the 23rd. For this filming, Lee Seojin had personally worked hard to get a fishing boat driver’s license. They are expected to film for roughly 3 days during their first filming at Deukryangdo.
“Three Meals a Day” producers said, “In this season, Lee Seojin will try to get a fishing boat driver’s license, and showing the cast personally driving the boat out to sea will be the point to look out for in this season of ‘Fishing Village’. We are also looking forward to the laughter the 3 brothers will bring us with the chaos they will experience from their attempt at living in a fishing village. Please look forward to the different charm of Deukryangdo, the new island for Three Meals a Day, with its abundant seafood and beautiful scenery.”
