'Kingdom 2' Ju Ji-hoon "Jeon Seok-ho is so cute I could die, life is like Beom-pal" (Interview)
[Lee Isul, Entertainment Reporter]
Actor Ju Ji-hoon expressed special affection for Jeon Seok-ho.
On the afternoon of the 20th, Ju Ji-hoon participated in an online video interview and shared various stories about the Netflix original series Kingdom 2 (written by Kim Eun-hee, directed by Park In-je).
When asked about his chemistry with Jeon Seok-ho, who played the role of Beom-pal in the drama, Ju Ji-hoon replied, “He is such a good person and has a great attitude toward acting that even ten mouths wouldn’t be enough to praise him.”
Ju Ji-hoon said, “Seok-ho doesn’t live life in a complicated way. He accepts feedback well,” adding, “He is a responsible father.”
He continued, “The atmosphere on set was different when Seok-ho was there and when he wasn’t,” and said, “I saw the expression ‘Joseon Pocket Man’ used for Seok-ho, and it made me really happy. It’s great that an actor I cherish and love is loved by many people,” showing his affection.
Ju Ji-hoon then added with a smile, “Our Seok-ho is so cute I could die.”
He also mentioned, “Among the viewers’ reactions, I saw comments like ‘Life should be like Beom-pal’s.’ He knows how to align himself well, survive, and eventually rise to the position of Left State Councilor. I agree with that reaction,” bringing laughter once again by saying, “In life, you really have to live like Beom-pal.”
Meanwhile, Kingdom 2 is a mystery thriller depicting the blood-soaked struggle of Crown Prince Lee Chang (played by Ju Ji-hoon) in Joseon, which has become a living hell as the dead come back to life, amid the greed of the Jo family who covet the royal power and the fact that no one can be trusted. It was released on Netflix on the 13th.
