Actor Jung Woong-in shared his thoughts on taking on the role of Kim Jin-joo in “Munmu.”

The production press conference for KBS 2TV’s new grand historical drama “Munmu” was held on the afternoon of the 12th at The Link Seoul Hotel in Sindorim-dong, Guro District, Seoul. Lee Ho CP (Chief Producer), along with cast members Lee Hyun-wook, Jang Hyuk, Kim Kang-woo, Jung Woong-in, Kim Do-hyun, Baek Seong-hyeon, and Choi Ye-bin, attended the event.

“Munmu” is a work that deals with the desperate and lonely epic of leaders who staked everything on a single victory amid 600 years of war and upheaval within the Three Kingdoms.

Jung Woong-in, who plays Kim Jin-joo, a True-Blood noble general of Silla in the drama, began by saying, “Honestly, I didn’t feel much pressure. Only the fact that Kim Jin-joo was a certain kind of person historically has been left behind; there isn’t much material preserved about him, so my mind was at ease when I first approached the role.”

He continued, “At the same time, I wondered what kind of heart Kim Jin-joo must have lived with. Growing up alongside Bitham and Kim Chun-chu as a child, I thought about what thoughts he might have had and what actions he took to survive alone between those two. As a general from Silla’s nobility, I didn’t think he was just a heroic figure. I tried to express the pathos and sorrow of Kim Jin-joo, among other things.”

“Munmu” consists of 28 episodes in total, with the first episode airing at 9:20 p.m. on the 14th.
