'Yu Quiz on the Block' actor Park Jihoon, who made a mark with his performance as Danjong in the film The King's Warden, revealed the efforts he made to portray Danjong.
On the 25th broadcast of tvN 'Yu Quiz on the Block' (hereafter 'Yu Quiz'), the lead actor Park Jihoon of The King's Warden, which is filling seats faster than The King and the Clown, the film that rapidly became the first historical drama to reach 10 million viewers, appeared. Park Jihoon conveyed the feeling of Danjong with a desolate appearance while showcasing a new, intense character through his gaze.
What became a topic first was Park Jihoon's diet. For more than two months he ate one apple a day, did not exercise, and continued a gaunt-feeling diet. He said, "During the diet period I stayed in my room only reading the script and was very sensitive." He said, "Actually I dislike apples the most among fruits. I chose apples on purpose thinking that eating something I dislike might make me feel more dizzy."
Park Jihoon also carefully revealed details about his portrayal of Danjong. He said, "There are details of Danjong that I alone want to bring out. There are external changes, but I tried to adjust the tone so that when the weak voice regains strength and returns to the original voice as Hongwi changes." He added, "If Danjong appears in my dreams, I would like to bow down and ask him. If he watched the film and smiled brightly when he saw me, I would be happier than any praise," saying this with an expression full of sincerity that moved people.
