Park Ji-hoon, formerly of the group Wanna One, displayed the elegance befitting a "10 million actor."

On the afternoon of the 6th, a production presentation for the new OTT TVING original "Becoming the Legend of the Cook" (hereinafter "Cook") was held at the Pullman Ambassador Seoul Eastpoll 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.

"Cook" is based on the Naver webtoon of the same title (written by J. Robin, illustrated by Lee Jin-soo). It is a "military cooking show fantasy drama" depicting the journey of Private Kang Seong-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."

Notably, "Cook" is highly anticipated as Park Ji-hoon's next project following his rise to "10 million actor" status with the recent film "The King and the Man" (King and the Man).

With great interest surrounding the upcoming release of "Cook," what are your thoughts? Park Ji-hoon calmly stated, "I don't think I'm the type to feel burdened. Regardless of the work's performance, I've thought a lot about what I can express and what kind of energy I can share. I'm not burdened, but I am nervous."

Park Ji-hoon further remarked, "I am someone who believes I cannot be loved forever. Therefore, my motto is to do my best in every given moment, and I seem to live that way. I believe doing my best in every given task is my duty." His admirable character shone through.

Additionally, regarding his first challenge in comedic acting, Park Ji-hoon highlighted, "My unique strength lies in straddling the line between the character Kang Seong-jae and myself within the comedy. It's not just funny in an ambiguous way; it's cute and funny. There's that 'Aww, so cute' feeling." This sparked further interest.

Yoon Kyung-ho praised Park Ji-hoon, saying, "When I watched 'Weak Hero' and 'The King and the Man,' I saw everything reflected in Park Ji-hoon's eyes. I was captivated by his gaze. There is no male actor with eyes like his. He has truly remarkable eyes. 'Cook' contains another side of his eyes. It includes comedy, cuteness, mischief, and sadness. As someone who has served in the military, I believe Park Ji-hoon perfectly portrayed the bewildered look of a recruit." He offered high praise without reservation.

"Cook" will premiere on TVING at 8:50 p.m. on the 11th. The 12-episode series will be available simultaneously on TVING and tvN every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m.
