In 'Warts: Killer's Outing', which ended on the 27th, Ko Hyun-jung played Jeong Yi-shin, the mother of Cha Soo-yeol (Jang Dong-yoon), a serial killer, and kept the center of the play to the end with unwavering passion. Ko Hyun-jung's performance, which freely moves between her cold face as a murderer and motherhood toward her son, overwhelmed viewers by exploding tension in each episode.
In particular, at the end, the tragic past of Jung Shin and the reason for the murder were revealed, adding to the dramatic sense of immersion. In the scene where Jung Hyun-nam (Lee Hwang), his biological father who committed sex crimes against him as a child and even killed his mother, directly died, Ko Hyun-jung convincingly expressed the complex inner side where revenge, sadness, and motherhood intersect only with her eyes and facial expressions. Subsequently, the restrained tears shown in the scene of the visit with Cha Soo-yeol completed the message that penetrated the entire work, leaving an intense aftertaste.
Immediately after the show, viewers will see "Ko Hyun-jung "Ko Hyun-jung " as the grand prize for acting", "Only Ko Hyun-jung, who can pull off these characters," he said, expressing favorable reviews. The character 'Jeong Shin', completed by Ko Hyun-jung, is a three-dimensional character with never-before-seen cool charisma and deep motherhood, putting 'Warts: The Murderer's Outing' at the center of the topic until the end.
Amid the words 'Go Hyun-jung effect', it became clear why Ko Hyun-jung is mentioned as a strong contender for the SBS Acting Awards this year. Attention is also focused on his next move to renew his life character in each work.
