Actor Cho Woo-jin introduced his role in the Netflix film 'Warts'.

Cho Woo-jin said at a production briefing for the Netflix film 'Warts' held at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University Entrance in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul on the 25th that `Dokgo is a contemporary of Gil Bok-soon and Cha Min-gyu."I'm trying to show off that I'm not dead yet because I don't want to be treated like an old man in the backroom"

'Warts', which will be released on the 26th, is a spin-off of the film 'Wil Bok-soon' (director Byun Sung-hyun) released on Netflix in 2023. It is an action film about the battle between the A-list killer mantis, who came back after a long vacation to the murder contract industry, his trainee colleague and rival Jay, and retired legend killer Dokgo for the No. 1 position, and director Lee Tae-sung took the megaphone.




Cho Woo-jin, who turned into a retired legendary killer Dokgo, said, `This work was destined for me, too. I experienced director Byun Sung-hyun's unique directing skills in his previous work (the movie 'Kingmaker', and I was happy to hear that he was participating in the movie. It was also good to hear that director Lee Tae-sung, who has excellent field control and directing skills as well as hosting skills, will debut with this work. I was also grateful to the CEO of the production company for making me pay attention to acting as an actor. I have always admired the passionate energy of Lim Si-wan and Park Kyu-young on the screen. It was good to share a fighting and healthy energy with the actors."

He also mentioned his efforts to increase the synchronicity with the character. Cho Woo-jin is a character who leans on the Bonsang team and the costume team. They made it so well. Dokgo is a contemporary of Gil Bok-soon (Jeon Do-yeon) and Cha Min-gyu (Seol Kyung-gu). After retiring, I'm enjoying my retirement free, and I'm about to rebuild after hearing that MK has collapsed. He goes out to show himself that he is not dead yet because he doesn't want to be treated like an `old man in the back room' , adding "He put the fat he gained in the previous film 'Gangnam B-Side on his grandfather's character living alone. It was easy to draw because it was a reliable and charismatic character, and I tried to draw a character with pride and complex."
