ENA's new Monday-Tuesday drama "The Defects" which premiered on the 21st, is an action thriller about the desperate survival and revenge of children who barely survived the death threshold after being abandoned by their adoptive parents. Above all, it is based on the Kakao Webtoon of the same name, which won the Best Creativity Award at the "International Content Market SPP 2017 Webtoon Awards" and received 51 million views.

Lee Naeun plays So-mi one of the children abandoned by her adoptive parents in the play. She is a person who lives with courage despite her painful wounds with children, including Ah-hyun (Won Jin-ah), who plays the leader role. Among them, Lee Naeun, who mainly showed works focused on youth academy materials, is drawing attention by challenging the action thriller genre for the first time.

Lee Naeun proved her potential as an actress through several works including "A-TEEN", "A-TEEN 2", "Hip Hop King - Nasna Street", and "Extraordinary You". In particular, in "Extraordinary You", she completed the character Yeo Joo-da with brilliant visuals and a fresh atmosphere, just like the setting of a character in a cartoon. In addition, towards the second half of the drama, the contrasting emotional line between the stage and the shadow was also expressed in a relaxed manner, captivating viewers.

As such, much attention is paid to So-mi in "The Defects" which Lee Naeun, who has shown growth in each piece with her unique bouncy charm and colorful character digestibility, will draw.

Meanwhile, "The Defects" starring Lee Naeun, will premiere on ENA on the 21st and will be available on TVING as an OTT exclusive.
