ENA's new Monday-Tuesday drama "I Shopping" (played by Ahn So-jung, director Oh Ji-hwan) is an action thriller about the desperate survival and revenge of children who barely survived the death threshold after being abandoned by their adoptive parents.
In the play, Jinyoung Kim played the role of Jeong Hyeon, a human weapon raised in the dark by Kim Se-hee (Yum Jung-ah), CEO of SH Medical Foundation, and a de facto operator of an illegal trading adoption organization. Chung Hyeon is a cold-hearted person who relentlessly pursues Kim Ah-hyun (Won Jin-ah) and other surviving children, including Kim Ah-hyun (Won Jin-ah).
Jinyoung Kim, who challenged as an actor beyond entertainment, said in an open interview that he was "anticipated to be able to fully unleash 'action' that he could do well, even though he is still not good enough as an actor." "The most decisive reason is that I wanted to learn a lot by acting with Yeom Jung-ah," he added.
The part that I put the most effort into preparing for the Chung Hyeon character was also the action. Jinyoung Kim said "Since Jeong-hyun is a human weapon, I thought it was important to show his rough and cuteness well."With the help of the action school team, we implemented vivid action, and we were able to create a good teamwork on the spot because we worked hard together."," he said, adding to the expectation.
Regarding the synchronicity with the character, "Not only Jeong-hyun but also I tend to show blind loyalty to those who trust and follow." Jinyoung Kim, who cited 'cold blood', 'deficient', and 'warmness' as the three keywords expressing Jeong Hyeon, added that 'cold blood naturally became cold blood due to lack of childhood, but deep inside, the warmth that he had since birth seems to have not yet been erased.'
In addition, the Jinyoung Kim said of the atmosphere on the ground "It was so good that it was the best environment to focus on." In particular, regarding his acting chemistry with Yeom Jeong-ah, he said "In the scene with Yeom Jeong-ah, I intentionally distanced myself for immersion and spent time staying as Chung Hyeon rather than Jinyoung Kim." Then "I think you watched me silently and accepted my actions with enthusiasm.""I wanted to talk in a friendly way like on entertainment shows, but I was worried that you might misunderstand me because I couldn't, but you knew and understood my true feelings enough to overshadow my worries." If I become a senior one day, I want to be an actor who embraces my junior like you," he expressed his appreciation.
Finally, he said "Ishopping" is a work created by both actors and staff members with passion and hopes to convey the resonance and exhilaration to many people. Please pay a lot of attention to it.", encouraging the audience to watch the show on time.
Meanwhile, ENA's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'Ishopping' will premiere at 10 p.m. on the 21st. It is also released by TVING as OTT exclusive.
