Actor Jang Dong-ju expressed his thoughts on acting, which was his companion for a long time.

Star News recently met with Jang Dong-joo, who played an active role in SBS's Friday-Saturday drama "I'm a Human from Today" (hereinafter referred to as "Oh In-gan") and conducted an exclusive interview somewhere in Gwanak-gu, Seoul.

Oh In-gan, which ended on the 28th of last month, is a drama about a fantasy romance between an MZ Gumiho who does not want to be a human and a left-handed man with excessive self-love, and Jang Dong-ju played Hyun Woo-seok, a promising soccer player from the youth national team, and worked with Kim Hye-yoon as Eun-ho and Romon as Kang Si-yeol.

Jang's career dates back to 2012. Starting with the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream," he appeared in KBS 2TV's "School 2017" in 2017 and stepped into media acting. Since then, he has been loved for his stable acting skills in movies such as "Unstoppable Curling Club," "Honest Candidate," "Count," "Handsome Guys," dramas "Revenge Is Back," "Mr. Fixed Term," "I'll Be Your Night" and "Trigger."

Jang Dong-ju cited the rooftop scene where all the sign rooms gather in the play as the most impressive anecdote during the filming of "Five People." He said, "That scene was my first call, but I was all frozen because of the previous shoot, and I had a lot of lines. Because the wind is blowing, my mouth is frozen, so I can't hear the lines. Because of me, the shooting was delayed by two hours. It was hard because I felt like everyone was having a hard time. There was no problem when I practiced, but I couldn't because it was too cold."

"I left a long message to the director for the first time because I felt so bad after the shooting, but he didn't reply," he said. "I practiced really hard the next day, and after the shooting, the director called me quietly and said, 'I was very touched by the courage that the actor Dong-ju said he was sorry without any excuse and that he would prepare sincerely. I think I just need to do this in the future without being self-conscious. Someone asked, "Who can be perfect?" When I came back to the car after hearing that, I cried alone," he confessed.

Jang Dong-ju expressed respect for PD Kim Jung-kwon, saying, "I felt like an adult to the point where I thought, 'I should become an adult like that later.'

Jang Dong-ju, who has been steadily building filmography since his debut. What kind of actor does he want to be remembered as.

Jang Dong-ju said, "When I learned acting for the first time, I heard a lot that 'the one who does well does not survive or do well, but the one who holds out until the end does well.' I want to be an actor who continues to act, whether it's rice that becomes porridge. "I want to go beyond my job as an actor and become an actor who values his own art as an artist," he said.

"My experiences and experiences are full of mistakes. In terms of acting and the general point of view of the profession as an actor, I don't think it was very consistent, he said. "When I was in my twenties, I only went back and forth between home and the set. I don't remember anything else. At that time, it was overwhelming just to digest the given work and I don't have many memories. I don't think it will be like that in the future, but I'm going to focus more on myself and try to recover my mentality," he said.
