So Ji-seop met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 12th and interviewed Netflix's original series 'Gwangjang' (played by organic Kim Joon-hyun, directed by Choi Sung-eun). So Ji-sub said, `It's my first time watching a Netflix series, so I don't know (the reaction) yet. I don't get any actual responses, so I think they'll tell me if I keep watching"There are things that are felt by the eyes, but the global cannot confirm it. However, it feels like people are looking at it well. And all the acquaintances around me said that my arms were bent inward and that it was fun.
Subsequently, So Ji-seop "I like noir and I also like the action of bumping my body. The noir script is actually very precious. In terms of works, one or two works a year are not available or not. I was so grateful when this scenario came in to me. I didn't know the original before, but I watched the webtoon after watching the scenario first. I wondered if I would be okay. I was worried because there were more actions than I thought. I thought about whether I could make it feel similar to the original."
So Ji-seop "My joints got a little (bad) because I was a little older. Fortunately, I went to my head safely without getting hurt while filming, but my body was going half a beat late." So Ji-seop also said, `I usually exercise, so I didn't have much physical problems. Depending on the design of the action, it was different whether it could be done or not. Basically, I'm doing gym and boxing together."
When asked why Nam Ki-jun went to So Ji-seop, So Ji-seop "Didn't he come to me because of the image I've built up so far?" There is no standard character than I thought, but I think that similar part was given to me. It seems that the existing image and the actual image overlap similarly. I think it's similar to the phrase " (that's why he gave it to me.' My hairstyle is different, but I don't want to take it out (here). I don't think I was the number one. Thank you for calling me the 0th most cast member. I have that image, and it's so nice to see me like that."

He performed most of the action himself. Among all these high-level actions, 7-80% are actions made by So Ji-seop himself. So Ji-seop "If you think about the number of people, I think I fought with about 100 people. It was hard, but it wasn't easy when I was acting with a real fighter. It felt like a weapon to touch my body, so I had a hard time with my energy. "I like all the actions I did, but the first thing I do after the action is to pray "thank you" 'I'm grateful that it ended without anyone getting hurt. What I did myself is about 7-80%, but these days I can't do everything just because I really want to do it. It seems to be distributed clearly. It's important to come out well on the screen."
'Gwangjang' is a noir action drama in which Ki-jun (So Ji-seop), who cut off his Achilles tendon and left the world of Gwangjang, returns 11 years after the death of his younger brother Ki-seok (Lee Joon-hyuk), who was the organization's second-in-command, and digs into the background for revenge. 'Gwangjang' is popular in 44 countries around the world, ranking second in the global TOP 10 series (non-English).
