All things about the Netflix series K-drama Narco-Saints

Source: NetflixDrama Narco-SaintsNetflix's original Korean drama 'Narco-Saints,' which premieres on September 9, 2022, is based on the actual tale of Cho Bong-haeng, a Korean who became a drug king after joining a drug trafficking network with the Carly Cartel.Jungwoo Ha (Kang In-gu), Hwang Jung-min (Jeon Yo-hwan), Park Hae-soo (Choi Chang-ho, Gu Sang-man), Cho Woo-jin (Boo Ki-tae), Yoo Yeon-seok (David Park), and Chen-jin are among the characters (Jang Chen).Source: Netflix 1. Origin (Related to Director) It is reported that Jungwoo Ha, upon learning about Cho Bong-haeng's motif of this work, originally offered to his close director Yoon Jong-bin to transform it into a position. It is reported that it was shortly after the publication, but the project did not begin until Yoon Jong-bin approved it because Yoon Jong-bin could not find a competent director even after completion.According to the Netflix production machine, director Yoon Jong-bin cast the number one cast intended for each role. Hwang Jung-min had long chatted with director Yoon Jong-bin, but after viewing the scenario, he chose to join instantly, while Cho Woo-jin pledged to participate in director Yoon Jong-next bin's film and earned a contract. It was originally planned as a three-hour film to be shot in the Dominican Republic in the first half of 2021, but because COVID-19 made it hard to leave the nation and cast locals, we chose to shoot in South Asia instead.Yoon Jong-bin, the director, reportedly sought to recreate Surinam's environment by cultivating palm palms and aggressively employed CG. Yoo Yeon-seok, for example, is claimed to have solely filmed in the Dominican Republic. In other words, with the exception of one scene in which David Park appeared, all of the scenes in the play are believed to have been shot in Korea. 2. Difference between actual person and drama Jeon Yo-hwan from 'Narco Saints' is a processed figure with the motif of a genuine person Cho Bong-haeng. In the 1980s, Jo Bong-haeng worked as a ship chiller. When he was wanted for 1 billion won in fraud relating to the new villa in May 1994, he escaped to Surinam, a country he knew well. In 1995, he obtained Suriname nationality.Cho Bong-haeng collaborated with the "Carly Cartel," South America's largest drug organization at the time, to develop a trafficking network in Surinam.Cho Bong-haeng had solid contact with high-ranking authorities and the military in the play, but it was so powerful that he obtained a list of Asian travelers entering Surinam in advance. Cho Bong-haeng, the passenger list's recipient, gathered Korean people in Suriname and dispatched them to Korea to collect transportation items.He promised 5 million won if he brought jewels from South America to Europe, so he gathered 100 individuals in need, usually housewives or college students.However, the true contents of the cargo were cocaine, and it is reported that many Koreans who transported illicit drugs to other nations were imprisoned at the time. The NIS began detaining Cho in earnest in October 2007. Cho Bong-haeng attempted to deliver medicine to Korea after receiving intelligence, and at the time, Cho Bong-haeng was already negotiating a drug transaction with Japan.Cho Bong-haeng was arrested on July 23, 2009, after seven years of pursuit, thanks to international collaboration between the NIS and Brazil. Cho is alleged to have received a ten-year jail term and a 100 million won fine.Cho Bong-haeng, who had been imprisoned at Haenam Prison at the time, died on April 19, 2016, as a result of heart failure and high blood pressure while being treated at Chosun University Hospital in Gwangju following a decision to defer his sentence in 2016.Source: Netflix Park Chan-ho Sign Ball Appearance  Park Chan-ho's trademark appears as a significant prop among the works, and according to Park Chan-ho's Instagram account, it is really his signature ball. He was also shocked that the sign ball made it all the way there, despite the fact that it was fairly pricey. Rory Brünsbake, current Vice President of SurinameThe backlash occurs as it reveals the disgrace of the upper class who actually trafficked drugs, with former president Desiré Delano Dési Bouterse, who was convicted of drug trafficking in the Netherlands from 1999 to 2010, serving a prison sentence, and vice president of Suriname Ronnie Brunswijk, who was involved in massive drug trafficking while working as a rebel. Local Reaction The local environment of Korean citizens who have been operating restaurants in Suriname for more than 20 years is considerably different from the response of the Suriname government and the Korean government's concerns. "Locals are also aware of the drama's premise. More often than not, I simply laughed and continued. I don't think many people actually took it seriously. Many diners visited the restaurant today (local time), yesterday, and we adore Korea, "He stated, emphasizing how the government and media exaggerate the tiny incident to suit their purposes.However, "It is a nation where many historic structures have been preserved because it was originally a Dutch colony. The jungle is quite lovely." It's unfortunate that Suriname is not yet well-known, and he added, "I'm worried about the country's unfavorable reputation.

IntroductionJiyeong An is a member of BOL4. She sings pop pretty well with her unique voice. She is well known as a ‘Voice Gangster(A singer who has a good voice and tone)’. Her live performance is really good but it depends on her neck condition.   1-1.Unique Pronunciation She became famous for her singing voice but surprisingly her normal voice is also unique. Some people even criticized her tongue-short-sounded pronunciation, as they think she is showing off like she is being cute.Eventually, when she appeared on the Korean TV channel called ‘My Little Television’, she admitted her pronunciation is not good. “When my friends heard my song ‘Galaxy’s chorus ‘cuz I’m a pilot’, they misunderstood it as summer party”, she said. She even made people think as if she were a Korean resident who was living in a foreign country. Because of criticism, she fixed her pronunciation now, but many people miss her previous voice since they thought it was better. Anyway, her English pronunciation is quite good.  1-2. Activity She does live performances on many festivals including University festivals. When she was about to sing her song ‘Mean’, she made to volunteer one of her fans to join her and it was a tough competition to participate.Also, she also does a little dance when she sings her song. When she is singing ‘You(=I)’, she draws a little heart and in ‘Galaxy’, she does a left-hand salute. When her member ‘Jiyun Woo’ has left, she is still continuing her journey as a solo artist with the name ‘BOL4’.  2.SongwriterShe is a songwriter in the band and also showed her talent by writing her song ‘Galaxy’ and ‘Hard to Love’. Most of her song that was released was based on her story, but she wrote her song ‘Fight day’ and ‘Hard to Love’ by referencing her friend’s story.Besides, there was a time when she cried while she was singing ‘Hard to Love’. When people say that they guessed ‘Hard to love’ was based on her true story and thinking she is missing her ex. However, she clarified the song was her friend’s story and people stopped their guesses. After her debut, she wrote 38 of 49 songs all by herself.    Recently, when she appeared on the Korean music channel ‘The sketchbook of ‘Huiyeol Yoo’, she stated she wrote more than 100 songs and said one of her best songs is ‘To my Youth’. “To my Youth’s lyrics, itself shows the moment of my dreams pretty well.I wrote this song to comfort myself, but it became meaningful to me because the song has also given comfort to the listeners.”, she explained.   2-2. Youtube  She is owing a Youtube channel called ‘Hello, Anjung’ and ‘Anjung’ is an abbreviation of her given name ‘Jiyeong’. She currently has 70K subscribers.  2-2. Daughter of the sketchbook of ‘Huiyeol Yoo’? Jiyeong An appears steadily in Sketchbook of ‘Huiyeol Yoo’. After her debut on 2016, she was casted to the sketchbook of ‘Huiyeol Yoo’ and sang her song ‘Galaxy’. Later on, her song climbed back to the chart and people guessed her the daughter of the sketchbook of ‘Huiyeol Yoo’(Korean people call her as a daughter of the sketchbook of ‘Huiyeol Yoo’ since her song climbed back to the chart after she appeared in his channel).   3. DigressionShe stated that she like ‘Amy Winehouse’ and affected by her and also her pronunciation too. When she said this, her fan website was named ‘WINE’.Her favorite foods are Kimchi Fired Rice, Tomatoes, and nuts.Her first precious treasure is RED ICKLE.After her album ‘Red Diary Page.1’ was released, there were reviews that her voice became scratchy. Compared to her Red Planet’s Hidden track ‘jotago malhaejuh(please say that is good)’, it can be easily noticed that the bass of her tone became thick and her singing voice(or tone) became lower.On 2016, she participated 45th competition of the Korean channel ‘Masked Singer’, using a fake name, ‘Rabbit that flies away time’. She sang ‘Love In the Milky Way Café’ of 10cm with suspicious Hat seller and sang Jung In’s ‘Rainy Season’ with her opponent ‘It’s a heart, heart!’ queen. Korean celebrity ‘Gangta’ noticed her as soon as he heard her sing. That’s because he heard her singing Jung In’s ‘Rainy Season’ when Jiyeong was a Star Night(Korea’s Radio Program) DJ. After the Masked singer ended, Gangta apologized he has noticed her too soon. The reason for her participation in the Masked Singer was to be famous since people did not recognize their songs. And she sang one more song which was Zion.T’s ‘Eat’ while she was on the program ‘Masked Singer’.On the radio, she said she was a fan of Girls’ Generation.When she is singing ‘Mean’, she is attractive.On the 14th of March, 2018, when she was placed under academic probation because of her tough schedule, she temporarily stopped to work as a singer to concentrate on her bachelor’s degree. Later, she came back on the 24th of May.She is one of the singers who feel more attractive when watching her live performance in person. Many fans think she is attractive when she does her little dance and during her small talk on the stage. Not only she is good at her live performance skills, but also good to make people participate and cheer when she is singing. That is why people are saying she has some skills to make other people her fan. She is also famous for being good to soldiers. If you were a soldier who is on a leave, you have a higher chance to participate in her performance on stage. Nowadays, she does not do that, but her kindness to soldiers has not changed. When she was in Paris with her former member ‘Jiyun Woo’, they were taking a video of Paris. While doing that, she envied the couple in front of her and she instantly sang a song and that song became the current released song, ‘Some’. Seems like she is really emotionally sensitive. She even sobbed while she was singing on stage.Many people say that she looks alike the Korean actor ‘Dami Kim’. Jiyeong also knows this and she mentioned it on VLIVE. She keeps a white companion dog named ‘Leo’. She kept the dog since 2016 and showed her dog while she appeared on the show ‘ON & OFF’ to show her daily life. She does not like mint chocolate.She picked ‘Bom’, ‘Some’, and ‘Travel’ as her Top 3 songs.On the 3rd of July, 2020, she unfollowed her former member’s Instagram. Therefore, bad blood between them became an issue again.She says her ankle is very thin. She could grab her whole ankle with one hand.  4.
