Oct 17, 2021

The main cast, director, and writer of tvN’s “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha” have shared their final thoughts ahead of the drama’s last episode!

A remake of the film “Mr. Hong,” “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha” is a romance drama starring Shin Min Ah as Yoon Hye Jin, a dentist who moves from Seoul to the seaside village of Gongjin, and Kim Seon Ho as Hong Doo Shik, an odd-job expert who helps everyone around town. Lee Sang Yi plays Ji Sung Hyun, a famous variety show PD (producing director) who happens to know Yoon Hye Jin from school.

Shin Min Ah began by expressing her gratitude to the viewers as she said, “I have nothing but gratitude for the love you all have given to ‘Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha.’ I had so much fun filming for the past five months that rather than it being bittersweet, I’m pretty sad. The love that the viewers gave to the drama is what helped all the actors and staff gain the energy to film. Thank you for showing love to both the ‘Shik-Hye’ couple and also the ‘Gongjins.'”

The actress continued, “I’d like to extend my thanks to director Yoo Je Won, writer Shin Ha Eun, and all the actors and staff who worked hard on the drama. The time I spent as Yoon Hye Jin will remain as a very happy time to me, and I hope that the drama will remain in everyone’s memories as one that gave them a warm vacation.”

Kim Seon Ho commented, “Thank you so much for loving ‘Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha.’ Every day felt like a dream, and I was very touched. I have many memories of the filming being therapeutic for both the actors and all the staff. I hope that the viewers found the drama therapeutic as well. Thank you once again for showing your love for ‘Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha.'”

Lee Sang Yi shared, “I was grateful to spend time with warm people in the warm village of Gongjin. I want to take this time to tell the director Yoo Je Won, who is responsible for letting me live as Ji Sung Hyun, writer Shin Ha Eun, and all the staff that they’ve worked hard. Also, I was so happy to work with Shin Min Ah, Kim Seon Ho, and all the actors who were a part of Gongjin. Above all else, I want to thank the viewers for all the love they sent. Please always stay in good health.”

Director Yoo Je Won also shared his thoughts on the drama coming to an end as he said, “It’s bittersweet. I’m thankful for the actors, staff, and writers who put in their hard work. I’d also like to say thank you to the residents of Seokbyung village and the Chungha market, the sashimi restaurant owners, and the Pohang city officials. Finally, I’d like to thank all of the viewers.”

Writer Shin Ha Eun also extended her thanks, saying, “I don’t think I’ll be able to forget the seaside village of Gongjin or this summer for a long time. Thank you to the actors, staff, and director for taking a normal and insignificant story and turning it into something great and special. To the viewers, I hope that ‘Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha’ became a warm source of comfort in your lives.”

The final episode of “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha” airs on October 17 at 9 p.m. KST.
