Actor Jung Joon-won, who belatedly saw the light with "Someday, the life of a major who will be sad," confessed his inner feelings of enduring a long period of obscurity and hiatus. "I didn't know how to do anything but actRecalling the days when he was on the edge of a cliff, he calmly said, `Good thing I didn't give up.'

In the YouTube channel video of Uhm Jung-hwa released on the 29th, Jung Joon-won, who became a popular actor after the end of the drama, appeared and had an honest conversation with Uhm Jung-hwa.

Recalling the time when he was offered a casting offer of 'Unseuljeon', he said "I was so happy. 'Is this really a chance for me?' I thought so."




But it took a long time to take this opportunity. Jung Joon-won said "When I was acting for about 10 years, the number of works itself decreased as the industry became difficult. I didn't have a lot of chances to show it, and I was under extreme stress"The work I met at that time was 'Unsuljeon" It was a time when there were few plays and independent films. There was nowhere to go and it was just a cliff edge", he confessed.

He said "People would say they held out, but in fact, they didn't know how to do anything but act. So I had no choice but to endure it," he said, expressing a quiet desperation.
