Actor Jo Seung-woo is returning to television screens after three years.

On the morning of the 8th, a press conference for the Netflix series 'Donggung' was held at Fairmont Ambassador in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, with director Choi Jeong-gyu and actors Nam Joo-hyuk, Noh Yoon-seo, and Jo Seung-woo in attendance.

Jo Seung-woo is returning to the small screen after approximately three years since his 2023 appearance in JTBC's 'Sacred Divorce'.

On that day, he joked, "Although this is my first drama return in three years, I haven't been idle. I have performed on stage and also filmed 'Donggung'."

He added, "I never put down the script because I wanted to love this work. A good production surely comes only after deeply troubling the director. I tried my best to immerse myself in the production environment."

'Donggung' tells the story of Gucheon (Nam Joo-hyuk), who has the ability to cross between the world of spirits, and palace maid Saenggang (Noh Yoon-seo), who keeps a secret. They answer the king's (Jo Seung-woo) call and uncover the curse residing in Donggung. Director Choi Jeong-gyu, known for 'The Devil Judge' and 'Red Moon Blue Sun', joined forces with writers Kwon So-ra and Seo Jae-won, who penned 'Bulgasal' and 'Guest'.

Nam Joo-hyuk plays Gucheon, who crosses between the world of spirits; Noh Yoon-seo plays palace maid Saenggang, who can hear sounds from the spirit world; and Jo Seung-woo takes on the role of the king at the center of the curse that looms over the palace. The series will be released on the 17th.
