Aug 08, 2021

KBS has released a behind-the-scenes video from the first filming of “Police University”!

“Police University” is about the chaotic investigation that ensues when a professor at an elite police university teams up with his students—one of whom is a genius former hacker. B1A4’s Jinyoung and f(x)’s Krystal will star as university students Kang Sun Ho and Oh Kang Hee, while Cha Tae Hyun will star as passionate detective and professor Yoo Dong Man.

The video starts with a hilarious clip of Jinyoung and Krystal making an oath, but with slightly off timing.

Cha Tae Hyun then introduces his character Yoo Dong Man as a detective who becomes a professor at Police University due to unforeseen circumstances. He continues, “The character of Dong Man is a personality often seen in dramas and films. He’s rough, and although he’s a detective, he’s also a professor. During class, he often uses difficult vocabulary, so I’ll have to pay attention to that while acting.”

Later, Jinyoung is filming a scene where his character Kang Sun Ho is diligently hacking a server while pretending to be a press member. To describe Kang Sun Ho, Jinyoung comments, “He’s an achromatic student with no dreams or goals. When he comes to meet his professor and a certain girl, he begins to develop dreams and goals, slowly transforming into a colorful character.”

Regarding his preparations for the role, Jinyoung shares, “It seemed like his life was very boring and his voice tone would be quite different, so I thought that I’d have to pay close attention to the small details that showcased his gradual transformation.”

Krystal describes Oh Kang Hee as a hardworking character who has wanted to become a police officer from a young age. She continues, “She’s firm and decisive, doesn’t hold grudges, and says what needs to be said.” With a giggle Krystal adds, “She’s elite.”

When asked about her preparations, Krystal touches on the judo uniform she is wearing, explaining, “She’s someone who’s quite good at judo so I diligently attended acting school and practiced lots of judo.” She adds with a shy laugh, “Since she’s also a 20-year-old freshman… I worked to appear younger.”

At the end of their first filming, Jinyoung shares, “Since I really, really like all our cast and crew members, I’ve been filming well while smiling lots, although it’s slowly getting hot. However, I’m looking forward to it thinking we’ll film really enjoyably.”

Krystal comments, “I came to set half-nervous, half-excited, but Jinyoung, Cha Tae Hyun, and the director all treated me so comfortably. I felt in place while filming so my nerves disappeared. They allowed me to feel comfortable and as if I could play to my heart’s content, so I’ve been filming very enjoyably.”

At the end, the actors thank viewers and ask for lots of love of attention. Watch the full clip here!
