Choi Chang-wook and EXO's D.O. talked about their role preparation for the drama 'Fabricated City.' Today (13th) morning, in Hong Kong, the 'Disney+ Original Preview 2025' was held. This event provided an opportunity to preview APAC and global original content set to be released on Disney+. The Disney+ original series 'Fabricated City' is an action drama where Te-jun (Choi Chang-wook), who lived an ordinary life, is wrongfully accused of a heinous crime and imprisoned, discovering that everything was planned by Johan (D.O.), leading him to seek revenge. Since its release on the 5th, it has quickly gained popularity, ranking 4th globally. Choi Chang-wook stated, 'Fabricated City shares the same worldview as the 10-year-old movie 'Manipulated City.' I approached it with love and a sense of responsibility. I am very grateful to collaborate with Disney+ as an actor. I want viewers to see the story from Te-jun's perspective. I worked hard to express emotions well, even while struggling.' D.O. challenged himself with his first villain role as Johan, who fabricates life as he wishes. He explained, 'I tried to act according to the script. It was a role I couldn't usually experience, and I expanded my imagination while acting. I decided on my appearance, such as hairstyle and costume, in consultation with the director to look sharp.' He also said, 'Rather than fear, I was excited to challenge a new character. I struggled with how to express it, but filming turned out to be a very enjoyable experience. I would be happy if viewers think, 'I don't want to see Johan' or 'I hope he doesn't appear,' and laughed. The Disney+ original series 'Fabricated City' released episodes 1 to 4 on the 5th, and will continue to release two episodes weekly.
