Jo Jae-yoon "Jinmu from 'Hwanhwa' is a mean person"

On the 13th, we met with actor Jo Jae-yoon at the Allbit Entertainment building and conducted an interview for the end of the tvN Saturday-Sunday drama 'Hwanmoon: Light and Shadow'.
'Hwanmoon' is a fantasy romance set in a great country that does not exist in history or on maps, and the main characters, whose fates were twisted by the soul-changing 'Hwanmoon Art', overcome this and grow up. It captures the fateful encounter between Jang-wook (played by Jae-wook Lee), who came back from the dead, and a woman with the face of falling water who lost her memory (played by Go Yoon-jeong), and the story of the magicians that unfolds anew three years later.
In the play, Jo Jae-yoon played the role of Jinmu, the chief villain and the head of Cheonbukwan, who observes and records heavenly records.
On this day, Jo Jae-yoon said, "I played a lot of villains, and he only looks like this, but in reality, he is a warm man." He added, "The first work that became a hit as a villain was 'Descendants of the Sun.' At the time, I played the role of Director Jin, who harassed Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo. He was the most recognized villain. I think the thing is 'Save me.' At that time, he did all the bad things, from raping women to assaulting babies, extorting, and murdering. They say 'Hwanhoon' is also a villain, but he feels more like a villain than a villain. He's not a devil, but a bad guy."
He continued, "When the synopsis first came out, it was a love triangle between me, Oh Na-ra, and Yoo Jun-sang. He was born as a bastard, grew up ignored, and has the goal of ruling the world, but in front of Kim Do-joo, he was a character who cried on his knees. But in the middle, the writer “Jinmu said that if that happens, there will be no bad villains in ‘Hwanmoon’ and that only by getting rid of all those gods and turning Jinmu into a thorough villain can the rest live longer, so I readily agreed.”
However, he made everyone laugh by saying, "Everyone has romance in their comedies, but I always put emphasis on my eyes and tone down my voice. Later, I regretted adding a love triangle."
