The singer and actress shared her experiences in preparing for the drama. According to her, she enrolled in an action school to learn how to film action scenes.
She said, "They made me do a lot of warming up exercises. Because of that, I gained a lot of stamina. I really thought I am someone who isn't meant to take on an action role, but at that moment, I was focused on working hard."
Miyeon also shared why she took on the role despite being hesitant at first. After reading the script, the "Replay" actress thought about it for a bit, but her members who heard about it encouraged her to pursue the role.
"The stunt director also complimented me, which gave me a lot of confidence. I also want to help other people during the time of pandemic so I said yes to the role," she continued.

Moreover, "Deliver" consists of eight episodes and it will be available on the YouTube channel Space Delivery starting from November 12.
