Actor Jung Ji-hoon of Season 2 of "Hound Dogs" revealed his secret to self-care.

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. Jung Ji-hoon played Baek Jeong, the operator of a global illegal boxing league, creating a villain of overwhelming destructive power.

"It was so painful playing this character," said Jung Ji-hoon, "I've been living a really nice and kind life." Because he is a person who tries to live while protecting his morality, he had a lot of worries about acting. When I saw the script, I thought, 'Can a person do this?'

He continued, "I've searched a lot about people who kill people, and they have a different idea. I studied a lot while looking for data on murderers who kill people for no reason. If you look at other devil-like characters, they use a lot of weapons, but I don't have any weapons, he said. "I talked a lot with the director."

As for making a body for a character, he said, "I think I should stop acting that I take off with this work," and added, "The director's order for body design was that I just wanted it to look huge. I shouldn't look too good, but I shouldn't be fat. I had a lot of worries, but I decided to make it like a murder weapon," he said.

He said, "I can't make it like that now, and I don't want to do it either. At the time of filming, it was not easy because it was a repetition of my life of reading the script and exercising. Still, I think I made it well, he said. "When I get a little lazy, I say, 'You put it down,' so I'm working out steadily. It's too hard to do it when you don't exercise."

It was not difficult to make a body because of constant self-management, he said. "This time, I ate a lot and changed my exercise method. Tae Won-seok's body is like a Hulk, but I had to be boiling or bigger. I think I gained about 6 to 7 kilograms more than usual," he said.

In particular, Jung Ji-hoon said, "I don't eat dinner because I'm a type of person who gets fat easily." I usually finish all my meals before 5 o'clock. "I eat when I eat with my children, but when I feel like I shouldn't eat, I just help them eat," he revealed his self-care routine.
