Rising actor Jung Gun Joo encourages with his driven and grateful personality as a young actor.
Just on his third acting year, but the Blossom Entertainment actor has been proving such talent seemingly earned from long years of experience. His most recent role in tvN’s Oh My Baby further showed his unique presence and limitless potential.
Gracing an interview recently, Jung Gun Joo has only warm words for his experience working with the cast and crew of the series. Portraying a bubbly and bright personality in the drama, the actor confessed how it was not an easy character to give life to. He further remarked how he made his character relatable to the viewers.
Playing the role of Choi Kang Eu Ddeum, he represented a young man who genuinely vied for a noona romance with Jang Na Ra’s character Jang Ha Ri. “I tried to act while making use of the attractive points of a young man. Unfortunately, the romantic sequence is not that long, but I am grateful and satisfied that I have received a lot of love,” Jung said.
Totally a contrast from his equally loved performance in youth drama Extraordinary You, Jung admitted the anxiety filming with senior actors. He said, “I was very nervous at the beginning of the filming, but thanks to the great care of my seniors, I think I was able to finish the filming well.”
He also mentioned how Jang Na Ra gave him a lot of pointers helping him to adapt quickly. His senior actors Go Joon and Park Byung Eun also provided necessary help for him to easily suit up to his role. Playfully quipping how he went to a bar with his new brothers this time, as opposed to his experience with his previous project where he worked with his peers.
Jung acknowledged how his dreams are starting to become a reality. That is shown by the significant increase of his social media following as well as people recognizing him on the road and in a restaurant. Through his work with Oh My Baby, the age range has also grown from teens and 20’s to 30’s and 40’s. He is immensely thankful for that.
From his appearance in DAY6’s music video of “I Like You“, Jung Gun Joo has appeared in a slew of web dramas including Flower Ever After, WHY and The Best Ending. His small roles in Fork You Boss 2 and The Third Charm did not go unnoticed leading to his roles in Extraordinary You and Oh My Baby.
Expressing where his career compass heads to, Jung Gun Joo goals to work harder as an actor who can show various charms regardless of the roles and genre. He also wished to work on historical production, a genre that he has not encountered before or an authentic romance story.
