"Climax" is a fierce survival drama between prosecutor Bang Tae-seop (played by Joo Ji-hoon), who jumped into the cartel of power to stand in the best position in Korea, and those surrounding him. In the play, Joo Ji-hoon revealed his intense face by breaking down with Bang Tae-seop. actress Ab Sang-ah (Ha Ji-won) and Showwin are also digesting a character full of desire who has been reborn as a candidate for the National Assembly from the couple's breathing to the soil spoon test.

In particular, Joo Ji-hoon transforms into an emperor in his next film and continues his wide-ranging career. In OTT Disney+'s new original 'Empress of Re-marriage', he will take on the emperor's consumer issue and make a high-speed comeback.

Moreover, Joo Ji-hoon has returned to the "Royal Family" in about 20 years since the legendary masterpiece "The Palace" (2007) and is receiving viewers' attention.

Joo Ji-hoon said of "The Empress of Re-marriage," "Isn't it a mega IP that has been loved all over the world. But actually, I didn't understand the whole story well, so I refused (the offer to appear). However, the production team has thick bones and they are people I trust so much, and they explained a lot about how fun this work was. This is not all, but anyway, I went in because I was curious about it because it was a work that those people were confident in. I have so many questions," he said honestly.

Coincidentally, around the same time, MBC's new drama "The Grand Prince in the 21st Century," which sets the "21st Century Constitutional monarchy" such as Joo Ji-hoon's life film "The Palace," is about to be released. When asked how he felt about the re-examination of the "Gung," Joo Ji-hoon said, "The "Gung" has never come down from Steady since it was aired. Thank you for continuing to love me amazingly," he said with emotion.

At the same time, Joo Ji-hoon said, "To tell you the behind-the-scenes story, I once received a cameo proposal for the '21st Century Grand Prince Lady'," making my ears perk up.

As it turns out, he was offered a special appearance due to his extraordinary relationship with director Park Joon-hwa, the director of "The Grand Prince in the 21st Century." The two worked together on the 2024 drama Love on a Single Tree Bridge.

In response, Joo Ji-hoon said, "I think he gave me a suggestion because I was so close to the director. But I think the director said it without knowing that I was on "The Empress of Re-married." I know I won't be able to appear (in a cameo), but I gave you an answer that I would gladly go out of support. Later, he revealed his secret with his unique witty remarks, "You know I'm going to appear on 'The Empress of Re-marriage' and you haven't heard from me since then."

Soon after, Joo Ji-hoon sent a heartfelt message, saying, "I'm supporting the director and the '21st Century Grand Prince' so much."
