[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Juhee] Actor Jeon Seok-ho from 'Jeonghee' shared his thoughts on appearing in the drama 'Kingdom.'

On the 16th, Jeon Seok-ho appeared as a guest on MBC FM4U's 'Noon's Hope Song with Kim Shinyoung' (Jeonghee) and had a conversation.

On that day, DJ Kim Shinyoung mentioned the Netflix drama 'Kingdom,' in which Jeon Seok-ho appeared, saying, "Your recent activities are amazing," and "I only recently started watching Netflix, but people around me kept saying, 'You have to watch Kingdom first.' I heard it’s very popular overseas as well."

In response, Jeon Seok-ho said, "Overseas fans are very interested in traditional costumes and gat (traditional Korean hats)," adding, "It’s the most rewarding thing that traditional elements are loved not only in our country but also abroad."

Kim Shinyoung asked, "I watched the making-of video; how is it to see it in person?" to which Jeon Seok-ho replied, "It’s even scarier to see it on set. If I tried to describe it all in words, it would be a broadcasting accident. It’s that amazing."

He continued, "Those people are actual performers. They trained for two months and did makeup before shouting. They come in groups in dark places, and it really makes you curse. It’s truly scary," sharing the atmosphere on set.

Jeon Seok-ho also expressed gratitude to writer Kim Eun-hee, who wrote the script for 'Kingdom.' He said, "Writer Kim Eun-hee said, 'I won’t kill the character Beom-pal (Jeon Seok-ho). I want to be with him until season 10,'" adding, "I’ll stay with this face until I’m sixty. I’m really thankful. I love you, writer," which brought laughter.
