On the 11th, the YouTube channel “Civilization Express” released a teaser video featuring Shin Min-a, Joo Ji-hoon, Lee Jong-suk, and Lee Se-young from “The Remarried Empress.”
In the video, host Jaejae asked Joo Ji-hoon, “I heard you often wondered, ‘Is this really the right outfit to wear?’ while filming ‘The Remarried Empress.’” Joo Ji-hoon replied, “Every time I put on the outfits they prepared, I’d think, ‘Is this even possible? Is it okay for it to be this sheer?’” drawing laughter from the audience.
Joo Ji-hoon previously drew attention in *The Remarried Empress* for wearing sheer outfits and clothes with plunging necklines.
Joo Ji-hoon joked, “I wondered how far I should go to maintain the emperor’s dignity—should it be the sternum or the navel?” drawing laughter.
Jaejae asked, “When is it the sternum, and when is it the navel?” Joo Ji-hoon explained, “Usually, indoor attire extends below the sternum,” adding, “But for official occasions, it rises above the sternum.”
“The Remarried Empress” is a romantic fantasy epic that follows Nabi-e (played by Shin Min-a), the perfect empress of the Dongdae Empire, who receives a divorce notice from Emperor Sobiesh (played by Joo Ji-hoon)—who has fallen for the runaway slave Rasta (played by Lee Se-young). Instead of accepting the divorce, she demands permission to remarry Prince Heinri (played by Lee Jong-suk) of the Western Kingdom. Since its release on the 3rd, it has become the most-watched Disney+ local original content globally within the first three days and has been gaining popularity, immediately topping the TV and OTT buzz rankings (according to Good Data Corporation) upon its release.
Just as the drama itself has gained popularity, comments from the cast members are also generating buzz.
The episode of “Civilization Express” featuring the cast of “The Remarried Empress” will air on the 12th at 6:00 p.m.
