"Real Education" Controversy: What's the Truth?

Netflix's new series 'True Education' is a re-imagined work focusing on the activities of the Teachers' Rights Protection Agency, which stands by the victims and corrects the school system, despite controversies surrounding the original webtoon. Netflix has released introductions to the actors playing the four main characters of the Teachers' Rights Protection Agency in 'True Education.'

Na Hwa-jin, played by Kim Mu-yeol, is a character who appears cold on the outside but possesses a humane side. She is a strong-willed character who does not lose sight of the direction of 'true education' even in moments of wavering. Kim Mu-yeol strived to express the nuances of the action differently depending on the details of the situation, planning to showcase action that embodies the character's beliefs and emotional journey, rather than a simple clash of strength against strength.

Choi Kang-seok, the Minister of Education played by Lee Sung-min, serves as the central figure of the Teachers' Rights Protection Agency, identifying and resolving issues in the educational field. Lee Sung-min hints at a weighty charisma, showing an unwavering stance on the issue of educational recovery. He stated that he focused on delivering a message that leaves a deep impression even amidst the humor.

Im Han-lim, a supervisor at the Teachers' Rights Protection Agency played by Jin Ki-joo, is a former special forces member who is honest about her emotions and cannot tolerate injustice. Jin Ki-joo emphasized the healthy energy of a character possessing a sense of responsibility for orders and a tenacious spirit, aiming to portray the feeling of a racehorse charging towards its goal. She is expected to inject vitality into the drama with her agile action and unpredictable energy.

Bong Geun-dae, the brainy office worker at the Teachers' Rights Protection Agency played by Pyo Ji-hoon, is an original character for the series. While initially experiencing confusion and stress, he will gradually show a transformation as he becomes interested in the work of the Teachers' Rights Protection Agency and gains pride. Pyo Ji-hoon stated that he completed the character naturally and humorously through collaboration with the director and senior actors.
