'Season of the Puppet' Kim Jeong-hyeon "I am grateful to MBC for lending a hand during my self-reflection"

Actor Kim Jung-hyun said he was concerned that the controversy over his private life would harm his work.

On the 27th, a production presentation for the new Friday-Saturday drama 'Season of Kokdu' was held at MBC Golden Mouse Hall in Sangam-dong, Seoul. Director Baek Soo-chan and actors Kim Jeong-hyun, Im Soo-hyang, Kim Da-som, Ahn Woo-yeon, Kim In-kwon, and Cha Chung-hwa attended the event.

'Kkokdu's Season' is a fantasy romance drama about Kokdu, the god of death who comes down to this world every 99 years to punish humans, and meets Han Je-jeol, a doctor with mysterious abilities.

Kim Jeong-hyeon plays two roles: Gkokdu, who incurred the Creator's wrath, and Do Jin-woo, a professor of surgery at Pilseong Hospital. Kim Jeong-hyun said, “Thank you for taking this valuable step even though it is very cold. I will do my best and work hard.”

When asked why he chose 'Season of the Kokdu', Kim Jung-hyun said, "Of course the script is important in choosing a work, but if it is long, if it is short, I am grateful to MBC for reaching out first within a short period of self-reflection. Within that time, I personally “There were many things that happened, and I think it was a time when I was able to look back and think back and become stronger and work on myself,” he said.

He continued, “This is my first time saying this here, but from the time I started working on this project until now, I have been personally worried that something might happen to the team, and that the passion of the actors and the work might be ruined by a person like me. I am grateful that much more diligently. “I’m preparing with my heart, so I hope you’ll look at me kindly,” he said, standing up once again and bowing his head.

‘Season of Kokdu’ will premiere on the 27th at 9:50 PM.
