Actor Jung Jun-won shared his thoughts on working alongside Gong Hyo-jin.

On the 13th, the production team of MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Husband Killer' (written by Kim Eun-hee, directed by Yoon Jong-ho) conveyed Jung Jun-won's comments on his appearance in the series.

Set to premiere on the 31st, 'Husband Killer' is a drama that follows the struggles of a working mother with one of the most dangerous professions in the world as she fights to protect her work-life balance.

Jung Jun-won plays Kwon Tae-sung, the husband of Yu Bo-na (played by Gong Hyo-jin) and a passionate investigative reporter. While positioning himself as a reliable support for his wife who is returning to work after three years, he also finds himself torn between his sense of duty as a journalist and his responsibility as a father while tracking down a mysterious kingfisher.

Ahead of the premiere, Jung Jun-won said, "The script was extremely exciting and fun. And being able to work with senior actress Gong Hyo-jin, whom I've been a fan of for a long time, was a major attraction." He shared the reasons behind his decision to join the project.

When asked for keywords that best describe his character Kwon Tae-sung, Jung Jun-won pointed to 'romantic' and 'doting father.' He stated, "Tae-sung is someone whose love for family is so overwhelming that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he lives only for his family. I believe viewers will fully understand this once they watch the drama."

Regarding the alignment between himself and the character, he said, "Inherently, I am more taciturn and introverted than Tae-sung. Since there are many aspects of the character that I don't possess, I made a concerted effort to adapt closely to the role."

Jung Jun-won also spoke about his chemistry with fellow actors. "Senior actress Gong Hyo-jin possesses a great power that makes her co-stars feel excited just by being on set with her. Simply having the opportunity to work together brought me immense happiness, and our chemistry was, without question, excellent." He added regarding Lee Sang, "Her unique positive and bright energy was highly stimulating. We truly interacted like friends, and I made a dedicated effort to ensure that this relationship naturally permeated the drama."

Finally, Jung Jun-won defined 'Husband Killer' as a story about family love. He emphasized, "Ultimately, my goal and purpose in portraying Tae-sung is to show what love between family members truly means." He also expressed confidence, stating, "I am certain that this work will surely exceed expectations and satisfy viewers."
