• SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Kim Bujang' actor Joo Sang-wook interview on role Joo Kang-chan

Actor Joo Sang-wook revealed amusing (funny and sad) anecdotes with Seo Ji-seop and Yoon Kyung-ho, who coordinated acting chemistry with him in 'Kim Bujang'.

Joo Sang-wook recently held an interview commemorating the end of SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Kim Bujang' (written by Nam Dae-jung, directed by Lee Seung-young and Lee So-eun) at HB Entertainment headquarters in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

'Kim Bujang' is a revenge action drama in the dad universe where 'the most ordinary dad in the world' becomes 'the most dangerous man in the world' to fight and get back his only daughter. According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings research company, the final episode broadcast on the 25th recorded 23.4% in the Seoul metropolitan area and 23.0% nationwide. In particular, the highest viewership rating soared to 27.1%, breaking its own record.

Regarding acting chemistry with actor Seo Ji-seop, who played Kim Bujang, Joo Sang-wook said, "This was the first time I acted with him, and he's truly a good person," and "He's really kind and upright. Thanks to that, the atmosphere on set was so good. Seo Ji-seop also mentioned it on set, but when you act, there are sometimes uncomfortable filming locations. However, 'Kim Bujang' was an anticipated and comfortable set."

'Kim Bujang' had approximately 3 minutes of sequences showing Kim Bujang's past entirely produced by AI. This was the first in Korean dramas, and when this fact became known, many viewers couldn't hide their surprise. Even Joo Sang-wook himself didn't know about it.

Joo Sang-wook said, "I didn't know that sequence was AI either. I thought 'the filming team must have worked hard,' but when I found out it was AI, I thought 'That was AI?' So I also wondered if (Seo Ji-seop) covered half his face because of that," drawing laughter with his jest.

Joo Sang-wook is also the origin of Yoon Kyung-ho's 'silent retreat' that became a hot topic. At the production presentation, when asked about viewership pledges, Joo Sang-wook suggested to Yoon Kyung-ho, "What if you do a silent retreat if the viewership exceeds 13%?" and Yoon Kyung-ho promised, "Then I'll do a 13-hour silent retreat." In reality, 'Kim Bujang' recorded 15.7% nationwide viewership in just 2 episodes, making Yoon Kyung-ho's 13-hour silent retreat pledge a reality.

Regarding this, Joo Sang-wook said, "Originally I was going to say 'If we get 15% viewership, let's go to Gwanghwamun and do something,' but if I had said that, I would have gotten scolded by Kim Bujang-nim (Seo Ji-seop). Actually, the silent retreat pledge was just meant as a joke, but it turned out that way. Yoon Kyung-ho called and asked 'What should I do?' so I told him 'Film yourself withering away in solitary for 13 hours,'" causing roaring laughter.

He then sheepishly confessed, "Thinking about it, I think I talked more than (Yoon Kyung-ho) on set."

Given 'Kim Bujang's' remarkable box office success, the production team and cast are planning to take a reward vacation to Guam. However, SBS said, "Currently, some actors and key production staff are discussing a small-scale teamwork trip to coordinate personal schedules. No specific dates or locations have been confirmed."

Joo Sang-wook said, "So far, while doing dramas, I've had three opportunities to go on reward vacations, but I couldn't go because of work each time. This time I plan to go," revealing his excitement with a jest.

Joo Sang-wook, who debuted with KBS drama 'Report of the New Generation: Adults Don't Know' in 1998 and is now in his 28th year since debut, showcased his unchanged passion for acting. He said, "I thought I hadn't rested since 'Giant,' but that's already been 16 years. It's not about seniority that matters, but the more you act, the more the set never gets tiring. Every time I go, it feels new and that energy is joyful. In a way, it seems to be the secret to living young. There's an energy unique to the set. Going forward, I want to keep radiating that kind of energy," revealing his ambitions.

He then said, "I'm also going to work hard on Instagram now. I'm preparing lots of various photos. On YouTube, I show my daily life, so it seems there are people who like that. Those are one thing, and works are another—I'm going to work hard on both. Please give likes, turn on notifications, and subscribe," displaying his wit.

He also has ambitions for variety shows. He said, "I really love variety shows. If there's a program that suits me well, I'd like to appear on it."
