Reflecting on the show’s success, Shin Dong-yup asked, “You all fit so well together back then. There’s no weak link, but when it comes to Hospital Playlist, is there a character or moment that especially sticks with you?”
Jung Kyung-ho smiled as he recalled, “Being with Woo-joo and the members for over three years… we formed a band. The act of being in a band itself brings you together as one. I had no idea. We had to do it every day.” He emphasized how music became a core part of their bond, more so than the script itself.
“For us, it wasn’t about the script’s volume but which songs the director chose. If we got them early, we’d finish shooting, head straight to the practice room, rehearse all night, and then go back to the set. We’d skim through the lines. The feeling when it all came together as one was…” Jung Kyung-ho trailed off, his face lighting up with fond memories of those intense yet rewarding days.
Jung Kyung-ho’s remarks about “Hospital Playlist” shed light on the remarkable camaraderie shared among the cast, as well as the unique behind-the-scenes journey of balancing their acting roles with live band rehearsals. This dual challenge became one of the show’s most beloved aspects, contributing to its authenticity and heartwarming appeal. His casual reference to “Woo-joo” is believed to be a personal nickname for fellow actor Jo Jung-suk, offering fans a glimpse into their close off-screen friendship and the genuine connections formed during the long filming process.
