Park Ji-hoon, formerly of the project group Wanna One, shared his thoughts on returning with "The Legend of the Squid Soldier" after becoming a "10 million actor."

On the afternoon of the 6th, a production presentation for the new OTT TVING original "The Legend of the Squid Soldier" (hereinafter "Squid Soldier") was held at the Pullman Ambassador Seoul East Pool in Jang-dong, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. Director Jo Nam-hyung and actors Park Ji-hoon, Yoon Kyung-ho, Han Dong-hee, Lee Hong-nae, and Lee Sang attended the event.

"Squid Soldier" is based on the Naver webtoon of the same name (written by J. Robin, illustrated by Lee Jin-soo). It is a "military cooking show fantasy drama" depicting the journey of Private Kang Sung-jae (played by Park Ji-hoon), who swaps his rifle for a kitchen knife and his ammunition belt for an apron, to become the "legendary cook soldier."

Notably, Park Ji-hoon, who recently became a "10 million actor" with the film "The King and the Man" (King and Man), drew even more intense attention with his rapid return in "Squid Soldier."

When asked about his thoughts on the explosive expectations, Park Ji-hoon calmly replied, "I don't think I'm the type to feel burdened. Regardless of the work's performance, I put a lot of thought into what I could express and what kind of energy I could share. I wasn't burdened, but I was tense."

Regarding his challenge in comedic acting, he added, "My unique strength lies in straddling the line between Kang Sung-jae and Park Ji-hoon even within comedy. It's not just funny in an ambiguous way; it's cute and funny. There's that 'Aww, so cute' element."

"Squid Soldier" will premiere on TVING at 8:50 p.m. on the 11th.
