"Special Labor Inspector, Mr. Jo" is a social satire drama about punishing those who have in society. It follows Jo Jin-gap, a man who used to be a member of the national judo team and whose dream of becoming a physical education teacher is dashed when he gets kicked out for his temper. Jin-gap then becomes a civil servant who puts safety first, and works as a labor inspector for the Ministry of Employment and Labor.

Kim Dong-wook said, "I put on 9 to 10 kilograms for the role. Judo is something I've never done before and it's very professional, so it wasn't easy to learn at first. I learned from Kim Dong-hyun and coach Jo Joon-ho. I hope Kim Shin-young who has learned the sports before watches the drama. I ate every 4 hours. At first I got sick so I had to eat porridge the whole time. I lost weight again, then".

About his character Jo Jin-gap's nickname Jo Jang-poong, he said, "When we were in school, intimidating teachers had nicknames. Jang-poong means I have the power to blow everyone down to the ground".

Kim Dong-wook said he plans on watching the first episode either alone or with his family. Park Se-young claimed the latter and said, "I live with my family. I might be too embarrassed to watch it with them so I'd be in my room watching it alone on my phone". Kim Dong-wook said, "Kyung-nam is shy even to her family. I might watch it alone at home too. I live with my brother but he's at our parents' home".

Kim Shin-young and Kim Dong-wook have a special acquaintance. Kim Shin-young said, "When I was chosen to DJ for another radio show, I heard I was going to be on it with Kim Dong-wook so I remember telling everyone about it".

Kim Kyung-nam appeared in the tvN drama "Prison Playbook" as Jung Kyung-ho's brother. He claims he has always been a fan of director Sin Won-ho. "I watched all his works. At the audition, I was excited but I didn't think I'd get the part. I still didn't believe it after the second and third audition".

Park Se-young claimed she was picked as princess in a contest when she was in 5th grade. She said, "I dreamed of being an actress then too. I was always thinking about acting but not becoming an idol because I didn't think I had any talent".

Park Se-young said, "Special Labor Inspector, Mr. Jo" is fun and I hope everyone laughs as much as I did".

"Special Labor Inspector, Mr. Jo" begins on the 8th at 10PM.
