Ju Ji-hoon Reflects on Acting Journey in Singles Pictorial

Mar 18, 2025

The only local magazine in Korea for confident singles, "Singles," unveiled a pictorial of Joo Ji-hoon's unrivaled presence. In this pictorial with Hamilton, a Swiss watch brand, Joo Ji-hoon perfectly digested classical and modern styling, unraveling Hamilton's identity in his own way.

Joo Ji-hoon commented on how he felt about meeting Singles for the first time "It was nice to be with you, it was fun."," he said. Ju Ji-hoon celebrates his 20th anniversary as an actor next year after his debut in 2006. Many things have changed as I continue my acting career, but when asked about the secret of maintaining my own center of gravity, "I try to accurately distinguish the line between honesty and rudeness. I try not to be rude, and I try to tell the story I need honestly and efficiently.," he replied.

When asked if Ju Ji-hoon always knew what he wanted and seemed to do exactly what he needed to do, he replied, "My workplace is thoroughly collaborative. To put it a little exaggeratedly, there is nothing woefully I can do on my own. When I enter the work, I think it is natural to do my part, as it is a character made by the hard work of more than 100 staff members.," he said, expressing his responsibility for the work.

Joo Ji-hoon recently entered his second heyday by performing intensely as Professor Baek Kang-hyuk in the Netflix series 'Severe Trauma Center'. Explaining Baek Kang-hyuk with the words `Munchkin, exhilarating, unblocked,' he said `I thought people would want this kind of leader in reality, too," he said, explaining the character. Then, rather than being the main character, I saw the work 'Severe Trauma Center' as a personality. "I felt that the harmony of balance was an important work regardless of the main performance."

About the juniors who showed outstanding chemistry in the drama "We studied and prepared really hard."," he said of the intense process. "The passion of the juniors was sparkling and pretty. I didn't want you to have a hard time with me. I was proud and pleased to see the growth along with the narrative toward the second half of the shoot" expressed his affection.

Joo Ji-hoon tried new changes in each piece. As for choosing a character with a large drop in the work, such as 'Love on a Single Tree Bridge' after 'Occupy' and 'Along with the Gods' after 'Occupy', he expressed his mindset of approaching the work and characters, saying, `Rather than avoiding a work similar to the previous work, I try to find new elements within any work.'

Recently, Joo Ji-hoon's best friend, Jungwoo Ha, said that `Nowadays, Joo Ji-hoon runs barefoot after the success of 'serious'.'

Photographs and interviews with Joo Ji-hoon and Hamilton are available on the April issue of Singles and on its website.
