Project group Wanna One member and actor Park Ji-hoon delivered a powerful and moving performance in 'Cooking Soldier: Becoming a Legend'.

On the 9th, in the 10th episode of the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama and Tving original 'Cooking Soldier: Becoming a Legend' (screenplay by Choi Ryong, directed by Jo Nam-hyung), Park Ji-hoon vividly portrayed the desperate struggle of Kang Seong-jae, who stood at an unprecedented crossroads facing the closure of his military unit.

That day, Park Ji-hoon convincingly portrayed the character's turbulent inner turmoil in an extreme conflict situation, heightening audience immersion. In the drama, Kang Seong-jae faced a life-or-death crisis as soldiers under his command received multiple penalty points due to a retaliatory inspection conducted by Section Chief Lee Min-gu (played by Han Min), and even Jo Ye-rin (played by Han Dong-hee), who had been his steadfast supporter, was taken away.

Even under suffocating pressure, Park Ji-hoon's acting shone even brighter. Rather than crumbling, he crafted Kang Seong-jae's complex emotional journey as he desperately struggled to find his own solution, using his signature gaze and delicate breathing to convey the character's inner conflict.

In particular, he powerfully conveyed Kang Seong-jae's determination to charge head-on, using his firm belief that "delicious food has the power to move people's hearts" as his weapon. Park Ji-hoon authentically embodied Kang Seong-jae, who devoted himself to researching recipes to achieve perfect taste, breathing life into the character.

Kang Seong-jae's pure passion eventually prevailed, leading to the meaningful achievement of the unit commander's safe return. However, at the end of the broadcast, an official order for the closure of Gangrim Military Unit was finally issued, causing the drama's atmosphere to freeze once again. Facing the despair of unit disbandment, Kang Seong-jae now confronts a final hidden quest: winning the 'Military Meal Cooking Competition.' Viewers are eager to see how Park Ji-hoon will navigate this arduous hurdle and what story he will write next.

'Cooking Soldier: Becoming a Legend' will conclude with the release of episodes 11 and 12 on the 15th and 16th, respectively, at 8:50 p.m. The series can be viewed on Tving and tvN.
