Actor In Gyo-jin Reflects on 'From Today, I'm Human' as Series Concludes

Actor In Gyo-jin, married to actress So Yi-hyun, shared his thoughts as the SBS drama 'From Today, I'm Human' concluded. Despite high expectations as Kim Hye-yoon's follow-up project to 'Escape with Seonjae,' the series ended with a 3.7% viewership rating.

In the drama, which wrapped up on the 28th of last month, In Gyo-jin played 'Park Yong-gil,' the coach of the 4th division team 'Daehung Citizen Club.' His performance, marked by a distinctive dialect and lively acting, left a strong impression in every scene. From his 'frenemy chemistry' with Kang Si-yeol (played by Lomon) to his comedic interactions with the team players, In Gyo-jin added vitality to the series. His character, though seemingly harsh, showed depth as he struggled to find sponsors for the team, enhancing the drama's engagement with his unique portrayal.

Through his agency, Blitzway Entertainment, In Gyo-jin expressed, "Playing a soccer coach allowed me to absorb the positive energy of passionate younger actors on set," adding, "Thanks to them, I was able to perform joyfully and happily throughout the shoot." He also extended his gratitude to the viewers, saying, "I sincerely thank everyone who loved the show and look forward to greeting you with another great project soon."

In Gyo-jin, known for seamlessly embodying his characters and earning audience trust, once again demonstrated his seasoned acting skills in this series. He adeptly balanced the drama's tone, evoking sympathy with a somber expression during the team's crises and quickly shifting to a playful demeanor to lighten the mood, ensuring the series' entertainment value.

Currently, In Gyo-jin continues to engage with audiences through MBN's 'Body Insight' and tvN STORY's 'Lee Ho-sun Counseling Center.'
