On February 4, a video entitled “The original author reveals settings and stories behind the scenes of” The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call “” was released on the YouTube channel “Doctor Friends”.
In the video, Lee Nak-Joon, who wrote the original novel, explained why Baek Kang-Hyuk (played by Joo Ji-Hoon) joined Black Waters (a mercenary unit), “He said he went to make money, and he actually did a lot. But the real reason he went is that US military doctors are the best trauma surgeons of the world. He went there to learn, but since he learned so quickly, he was deployed on the field and even took part in the rescue. “
As a question about Baek Kang-Hyuk’s earnings from the mercenary unit, Lee Nak-Joon revealed: “I wrote it in 2019 and there was not much inflation. I have fixed its annual salary to $ 2 million, which is about 3 billion KRW today. “He also said that in the original story, Baek Kang-Hyuk spent four years in the unit, but due to the youth apparition of Joo Ji-Hoon, he was reduced to just one year in the drama.
In addition, Lee Nak-Joon revealed that Baek Kang-Hyuk is also skilled in equity investments, saying: “He doesn’t even need to receive a salary. His personal background attracts several hundred millions of krw every month. This is a backdoor setting in history. “
Meanwhile, “The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call”, with Joo Ji-Hoon, was released on January 24th. It ranked number 1 in the non -British non -British category in just two weeks from its release.
