Singer and actor Rain, also known as Jung Ji-hoon, shared anecdotes about his wife, Kim Tae-hee.
On the 31st, a press conference for Netflix's series 'Bloodhounds' Season 2 was held at the Ambassador Seoul Pullman Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul. The event was attended by actors Woo Do-hwan, Lee Sang-yi, Jung Ji-hoon, and director Kim Joo-hwan.
'Bloodhounds' Season 2 follows the story of Geon-woo (Woo Do-hwan) and Woo-jin (Lee Sang-yi) as they take on a global illegal boxing league, delivering another satisfying punch against the forces of money and violence.
Joining the cast in Season 2, Jung Ji-hoon takes on the role of Baek Jeong, the operator of the global illegal boxing league known as 'IKFC.' As a villain opposing Woo Do-hwan and Lee Sang-yi, Jung Ji-hoon emphasized the importance of character development.
Jung Ji-hoon explained, "The director had many requests. I had to smile but still appear frightening, and even when smiling, my eyes shouldn't smile. I needed to be extremely evil and able to make my opponent feel miserable with any action." He added, "The director also said my physique shouldn't look overly good. I needed to be bulked up but still capable of boxing. Despite the many demands, I enjoyed the challenge of being directed after a long time. I decided to follow the director's lead."
Regarding his character, Jung Ji-hoon stated, "I moved as if always holding a blade. Within the organization, I had no allies, and everyone was an enemy. Although the character is ruthless, expressing it wasn't particularly difficult."
He further shared, "As I discussed with the director, I felt myself gradually immersing into the character. My gaze and gestures needed to be intimidating and sharp, but not artificial. To appear as someone who lived that way all their life, I maintained that state even at home, which sometimes got me in trouble. I lived as Baek Jeong for about a year."
Netflix's 'Bloodhounds' Season 2 will be released on April 3rd.
