Ji ChangWook is solidifying his unique acting style and successfully transforming his image. Recently, he took on the role of broker Yoon GilHo in the work ‘Gangnam Secret’, transitioning from the image of a handsome actor to one recognized for his acting prowess. His challenges continue from ‘The Worst Of Evil’ to the noir genre, where he began to be noticed more for his acting skills than his looks.
In a recent interview at a café in Seoul, Ji ChangWook stated, “There is a certain image that the public has of me, but I am taking on various challenges to break that image.” Through the Disney Plus series ‘Gangnam Secret’, he depicted the dark side of Gangnam, portraying Yoon GilHo, a character with a face full of rapidly forming bruises and scars. Yoon GilHo, akin to a hyena wandering the lawless back alleys of Gangnam, played a crucial role in Ji ChangWook’s acting transformation.
From the dramas ‘The Worst Of Evil’, ‘The Queen Woo’, and the movie ‘Revolver’, to ‘Gangnam Secret’, Ji ChangWook showcases his efforts to break the public’s stereotype of him by embracing diverse characters. He expressed, “The deficiencies of the character Yoon GilHo and how Kang DongWoo views Yoon GilHo were intriguing.” These challenges are transforming Ji ChangWook from a simple good-looking actor to one with outstanding acting skills.
Ji ChangWook emphasized, “I am in the process of breaking the image of a Hallyu star and creating a new persona,” and added, “As an actor, I want to show more sides of myself.” He is set to showcase action acting in the Disney Plus series ‘Fragment City’, scheduled for release next year, continuing his pursuit of new challenges beyond his existing image.
He hinted at his ongoing acting transformation, saying, “I think I would be satisfied if, at the last moment, I feel that I have done my best as an actor and had fun.” This is why Ji ChangWook’s future endeavors are highly anticipated.
