Actor Jung Ji-hoon (Rain) said that he has cursed for the rest of his life in Season 2 of "Hunt Dogs," adding, "It's a work that I can't show my daughters."

At a cafe in Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 8th, I met with actor Jung Ji-hoon (Rain), an actor of the Netflix series "Hunt Dogs" Season 2, and talked about the work.

Season 2 of "Hunt Dogs" is a story about Gunwoo (Woo Do-hwan) and Woojin (Lee Sang) who beat up a gang of heinous illegal loan sharks, and another exhilarating straight hook against a global illegal boxing league dominated by money and violence.

Regarding his appearance in Season 2 of "Hunt Dogs," Jung Ji-hoon said, "As an actor, I wanted to do a real "bad guy" one day. But first, when I said, 'Can my family see it later?' there was no justification. But this work is so justifiable, and I had a meeting with the director without receiving the script," he said.

He continued, "I liked the director so much since 'Youth Police', and I loved 'Hunt Dogs' so much. When I said I was doing season 2, I felt that I wanted to show it once, he said. "When I saw this work and thought, 'Why did Jung Ji-hoon do that?' I think, 'This is why I did it.' "

Jung Ji-hoon played Baek Jeong, the operator of a global illegal boxing league, creating a villain of overwhelming destructive power. He said, "I always prepare hard for the role of Baekjeong, but it was not easy to wash it off at first because he was a character who did a lot of research. "The character is not a psychopath or a sociopath, but a friend with an anger control disorder, so I acted like a runaway train."

"Since the narrative of the Baekjeong character is not specific while being cast and meeting with the director, there is still a period of time to set it up," he said. "The evil of Baekjeong should not be artificial and contrived." The action scene was a big challenge for me," he said.

Jung Ji-hoon said that he was a character he didn't usually do, but he couldn't enjoy it because of his intense "evilness." "Every moment, I thought about how to make Gunwoo and Woojin desperate and send them to the abyss," he said. "I've played quite a sweet and pure role a lot, and I thought I had to wash off my previous image completely in order to reverse that image. "My homework was how to harass Gunwoo and Woojin every moment," he said.

"For Gunwoo or Woojin, my mother is the standard of life, and Baekjung knows that, and that was the key point. Every time, I wondered if I could do "Bring Gunwoo's Mom" in a different tone. I thought it would be too much to express my mom differently, but the director liked it, saying, "Baekjeong is a character who can do that." I think I've been cursing my whole life," he said.

However, it is a work that cannot be shown to daughters, and "the lines are too much. The children were too young, so I watched it at home with earphones on. My wife said she did a great job, but in fact, we don't talk much about our work and we tend to respect each other. He said, "I watched my hard work from the side, and when I saw the visuals, he said (my wife) was cool."

"As with my family, it was the first time I received phone calls from other actors after the work was released. The seniors called and said, "You're crazy," and added, "I'm cool because my grades came out, and I'm grateful that the reaction around me was so good rather than the grades."
