Actor Kim Sung-kyu shared his thoughts on his transformation with a new hairstyle.

On the morning of the 23rd, Kim Sung-kyu participated in an online video interview where he talked about various aspects of the Netflix original series Kingdom 2 (written by Kim Eun-hee, directed by Park In-je).

Recently, Kim Sung-kyu cut his hair for the filming of the tvN drama Half of Half. With his new style, he exudes a fresh charm, raising anticipation for his appearance in the new work.

Regarding this, Kim Sung-kyu said, “It was a bit disappointing. I had kept a long hairstyle for a long time. The moment I cut it, I felt refreshed, but when I looked in the mirror, I also felt a loss of confidence.”

He added, “I used to feel that my character looked unique thanks to my hair, but after cutting it, I worried whether I had become ordinary and felt a bit shy. However, over time, I got used to it.”

Meanwhile, Kingdom 2 is a mystery thriller depicting a Joseon in crisis turned into a living hell by the dead rising, the greed of the Jo family vying for royal power, and the bloody struggle of Crown Prince Lee Chang (played by Ju Ji-hoon), who can trust no one. Kim Sung-kyu plays Yeong-shin, a character skilled in exceptional swordsmanship but hiding a past. The series was released on Netflix on the 13th.
