Q: There was a lot of hype on the sitcom, was there pressure and what did you focus on that to bring out to the audience who will be watching ‘So Not Worth It’?
Director Kim: Although I do feel pressure now, I did not feel pressure on set as everyone was as if they were not acting but being themselves! Because of this, everyone was comfortable on set.


Q: What is the difference between people in their 20s in the past and people who are in their 20s now?
Director Kwon: The young generation these days face a lot of hardships. It is heartbreaking seeing how they seem to have a tough life. Sitcoms are funny but in 'So Not Worth It', viewers will be able to see and learn that everyone is hiding their pain somehow.

Q: How do you feel about the show’s release to audiences around the world through Netflix?

Se-wan: ‘So Not Worth It’ is scheduled for simultaneous release to fans around the globe. I am so excited about it but also very nervous. I hope the story about multinational students is fun and entertaining to the viewers.

Shin Hyeon-Seung: I worried a lot in the beginning, but in retrospect, I don’t know why I worried. It was such a fun and happy experience. I know there is still more to be desired. But we all worked very hard, and I hope the viewers enjoy the fruits of our labour.

Youngjae: I watch Netflix frequently, I am so happy and amazed that I get to be on a Netflix show. I really gave my all to the filming of the show like everyone else. I am sure our efforts will pay off. It is a very entertaining show, and I hope the viewers will like it!

Minnie: I watch a lot of Netflix, and it’s such an honor to be a part of a Netflix sitcom. As a newcomer, I know I have a long way to go. I hope the viewers are understanding of this journey I’m on and be a witness to my learning and growth.

Carson Allen as Carson in 'So Not Worth It'

Carson: I’m honored to be a part of such a great show. There hasn’t been a Korean sitcom for young people in a while, so I was thrilled to be included. We worked very hard to live up to the viewers’ expectations, so I hope they enjoy the show.

Joakim Soresen as Hans in 'So Not Worth It'

Joakim Soresen: It hasn’t hit me yet. I had a blast being an exchange student and international student in Korea. The Swedish city I come from has a population of less than 10,000, and it’s amazing that I’m in Korea to appear in a Netflix sitcom. Through the vicarious experiences and thrills of the show, I hope the viewers will develop an interest in this country. Maybe even visit here someday. I hope they really enjoy the show.

Terris: I grew up watching Netflix so it’s hard to take it all in, but I’m thrilled. It’s a huge honor. Having a multinational cast will likely set us apart from the other Korean sitcoms, and due to our diversity, viewers may find common ground no matter where they tune in from. We gave it our all, so I’m confident that the show will live up to expectations.
