Jung Joon-won recently met with Sports Chosun and was interviewed at the end of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 「Someday, the Life of a Major」 (played by Kim Song-hee, directed by Lee Min-soo, hereinafter Unseuljeon). Jung Joon-won said "I think the end of the show is more regrettable than when the shooting was over. The shooting ended with so much affection, and there was some time until the show, but now I'm sad and sad to think that it's really over. Thankfully, I'm even more disappointed that you liked it. "I'm so grateful because I feel that you're paying a lot of attention through SNS or YouTube clips."
Earlier, Ko Yoon-jung interviewed Jung Joon-won "Oppa, how does it feel to be a superstar?He also said that he once sent a message saying ". In response, Jung Joon-won said "It was just a joke. I don't think so at all. I do realize that it has changed. At first, I doubted because there was only a response on the Internet. It felt like the world was deceiving me. It makes me doubt it for no reason. 'Does this make sense?' However, I felt that the more I went over and over again, the more interested and liked it than I thought. "
'Unseuljeon' is a work that has become 'reward' for Jung Joon-won. Jung Joon-won said "It was about 10 years before I was cast in this work, and it was a time when I was very thirsty for my role. It's not like I want to do it on my own, and I've had a hard time because of it, and I'm grateful that I feel rewarded for everything, and I thought something like a miracle happened.'
Jung Joon-won said "I didn't do many works, but the roles in the play that I've played so far weren't seen by the public, so I wasn't satisfied from an actor's point of view. I couldn't quench my thirst. I wanted to show more, and I had vague confidence that I would do well if I gave a chance, but I couldn't resolve it, so as time went by and I got older, that was the most difficult thing. The same will be true of performers my age, colleagues who have played similar roles to me. I want to show more, but it doesn't go my way. So I said it was kind of hard.
Jung Joon-won then said "The image may not have been right and the acting may have been bad. I don't think it could have even been recognized. Nevertheless, the driving force for enduring is self-hypnosis. It's not my fault. If you don't do that alone, it's hard to endure, so I think you've endured it like that."
When asked if this thirst was quenched through 'Unseuljeon', Jung Joon-won said, `Of course, I've been more resolved than before, and there's no end to greed from the standpoint of an actor, so I always want to show something else in a good work. I'm so thankful that this piece helped to resolve that"There was actually such concern. In the works I appear in, the main character is Melo, and Melo had to persuade viewers with delicate emotions, so I was worried that not only acting but all the elements I had could communicate with the world. Of course, there are people who like it, but there are people who don't like it, and fortunately, I think I got a positive response in general. The director took good pictures and the writing itself made me feel good, and (the late) Yoon-jung acted so well that I confirmed the small possibility of 'Oh, I can do this kind of melodrama genre.'"
Jung Joon-won said "It's been 10 years since I've been working, but I really feel like I'm starting now. If I want to continue my acting career, my face needs to be known. To do that, I've been living until now, and I'm thankful that I got interested because I met a good opportunity, but I'm thinking about moving on with this"I think it's unrealistic and miraculous that I'm in this piece. And now I think I'm running back to the default. This is over, and this reaction is going to subside again, and I'm just trying to act the way I've done and show a good performance in another" expressed his determination.
Unseuljeon, which ended with the 12th episode on the 18th, is a spin-off drama about the development of residents who dream of becoming doctors. Jung Joon-won formed a love line with Oi-young (Ko Yoon-jung) by playing Gu Dong-won, a major in the play.
