Actor and director Jeong-woo is ending an eight-year partnership with BH Entertainment.
On the 31st, BH Entertainment said, "We were happy to be able to work with actor Jeong-woo, and that time was a meaningful journey for both of us," and "we will continue to provide unwavering support until his first directed film, "Jjanggu," meets audiences."
It added, "We will sincerely cheer for actor Jeong-woo so that he can pursue a wider range of activities based on his own colors," expressing unchanged trust and support.
Jeong-woo also expressed gratitude to the agency he had worked with for a long time, and it was reported that they are bringing things to a good close amid mutual support. Beyond a simple contract termination, the fact that it is a "beautiful parting" based on trust built over a long period adds further significance.
Jeong-woo has expanded his own standing through his distinctive honest charm and highly empathetic acting. After winning public affection as the unique character "Jjanggu" in the 2009 film "Baram," he cemented a strong presence by creating the "Trash" syndrome through the 2013 tvN drama (drama) "Reply 1994."
Since then, he has continued steady activity, showcasing a wide acting spectrum in various works such as the films "Ssesibong," "Himalaya," "The Attorney," "Heung-boo," "The Neighbor," and "Hot Blood," and the drama (drama) "The Crazy X of This District." With lively performances that move between laughter and emotion, he has drawn deep empathy and has solidified his own color with sincere acting in each work.
Having concluded his partnership with BH Entertainment, Jeong-woo is set to take on a new challenge as a director beyond his work as an actor. After a long journey, leaving mutual support behind, expectations are growing for his next move as he stands at another starting line.
Meanwhile, the film "Jjanggu," which Jeong-woo stars in and directs, is scheduled to be released in theaters on Apr. 24.
