Jun Ji-hyun of 「Polaris」 shows a completely different appearance.
Disney+'s Well-Made Global Project 'Polaris' unveiled a still from Jeon Ji-hyun's character that will present a new transformation as Seo Moon-joo.

After completing his studies in the United States and becoming a diplomat, he has built a solid trust and international reputation by peacefully representing the Republic of Korea's position on the world stage. One day, he witnessed the presidential shooting at the site of the Mass praying for peaceful reunification and went out to reveal the background. In the released character still, Moon-joo's eyes, who serves as a UN ambassador and speaks confidently and gracefully, give a glimpse of his straight heart. In addition, the appearance of running from dawn shows his hard and strong daily life, and it raises interesting questions about the character Moon-joo, who faces a huge truth, even the bold appearance of approaching the hidden truth with sharp eyes.
Jun Ji-hyun is a character who can challenge himself as an actor by being quiet but firm and strong," he said, explaining why he was fascinated by the character Moon-joo. Writer Shim Jung-kyung said, "From the beginning of the story, the gatekeeper was Jun Ji-hyun. I thought about what color to show among Jun Ji-hyun's spectrums"He revealed that the Moon-joo character started from Jun Ji-hyun, raising expectations for his perfect character digestibility." In addition, he expressed deep satisfaction with the process of working with Jun Ji-hyun, who showed delicate expressive power based on a deep understanding of the character, saying that `Jeon Ji-hyun is an actor who makes you feel a silent understanding of the character.'
