Actor Ji Chang-wook revealed his reason for appearing in 'Scandal'.

On the 9th, a press conference for the Netflix series 'Scandal' was held at a hotel in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul. Director Jung Ji-woo and actors Son Ye-jin, Ji Chang-wook, and Nana attended the event.

'Scandal' is the story of a daring and dangerous love bet between 'Lady Jo' (played by Son Ye-jin), a woman with exceptional talent who is trapped living only among women in the Joseon Dynasty, and 'Jo Won' (played by Ji Chang-wook), the best matchmaker in Joseon, as well as the story of a woman named 'Hee-yeon' (played by Nana) entangled in that bet.

The classic work 'Dangerous Liaisons', which has captivated countless people since its publication in 1782, is reborn as a Netflix series in 2026.

Ji Chang-wook plays 'Jo Won'. 'Jo Won' is a talented individual from a prestigious family with outstanding looks, but after losing contact with 'Lady Jo', with whom he had openly exchanged letters since childhood, he lives only pursuing pleasure and fun.

Regarding his reason for appearing in the series, Ji Chang-wook said, "The subtle emotions and relationships of the characters in the original work 'Dangerous Liaisons' were very interesting," and added, "I also found it interesting that this work would be newly interpreted in 2026 and made into a series."

He continued, "I was greatly looking forward to working with Director Jung Ji-woo, and I was very excited about acting alongside senior actress Son Ye-jin and Nana. Working together with two actresses of completely different colors was itself a very fun experience and project for me," he revealed.

Regarding the acting process, he added, "I tried to focus as much as possible on my co-actors. The emotional lines were so subtle and difficult that whenever I felt lost, I would always look at the director, who guided me well every time."
