Jung Yunho Shines in 'Find: The Village' as He Breaks Free from Acting Criticism After 16 Years

Jung Yunho has finally shaken off the acting criticism that has followed him for 16 years.

Disney+'s original series 'Find: The Village' is set in 1977 and tells the story of hardworking villagers who are drawn into a web of deceit as they vie for a sunken treasure ship. Jung Yunho delivers a compelling performance as 'Beolgu,' a character who acts before he thinks.

In episodes 6 and 7, released on the 30th, Beolgu dives into the sea from a ship on a quest for a valuable artifact but falls into a coma due to equipment failure. The tense atmosphere kept viewers on the edge of their seats. Beolgu, fearing the situation would escalate, escapes from Captain Hwang (played by Hong Ki-joon) who intends to abandon him, and Hee-dong (played by Yang Se-jong) who tries to stop him, leading to a hallucinatory underwater struggle.

Throughout this ordeal, Jung Yunho portrays Beolgu's desperation with wounded eyes and a poignant voice, perfectly capturing the character's emotional turmoil. His performance anchors the whirlwind plot, completing Beolgu's narrative arc and bringing a fresh impact to 'Find: The Village.'

In 'Find: The Village,' Jung Yunho has crafted a vivid character through his use of a sticky dialect, constant gum-chewing, and a perpetually defiant expression. His outstanding performance has finally put an end to the long-standing criticism of his acting skills.

Jung Yunho expressed, "Playing 'Beolgu' involved deep contemplation and dedication, making him a character that will linger with me. I am truly grateful to the director, writer, talented senior actors, colleagues, and staff who made the set a joyful place and allowed me to learn so much."

He added, "Above all, I thank the subscribers who watched the series. I will continue to show my sincere efforts, so please keep supporting and cheering for me."
