Jung Kyung-ho Opens Up About His Next Role and Hints at Personal Growth

Acclaimed South Korean actor Jung Kyung-ho has teamed up with Arena Homme+ for an introspective pictorial and interview, revealing a soft yet sincere side of himself. Known for portraying emotionally nuanced and perfection-driven characters such as Kim Jun-wan from Hospital Playlist and Choi Chi-yeol from First Hit Scandal, Jung presents a more lyrical charm through this shoot.

In front of the camera, Jung conveys complex emotions and subtle gestures, capturing the density of a man in his element. His ability to tell a story through still images underscores his appeal as an actor who consistently brings depth to his roles.

During the accompanying interview, Jung discussed what truly influences his choice in projects. “Honestly, the script is not the most crucial factor for me. It’s always about who I’m working with. The director, the co-stars — those people matter the most. I’ve been really lucky to work with incredible teams so far.”

He also touched on how he perceives his current place in the acting world. “Right now, I’m doing what I’m good at — and I’m grateful for that. But I also think it’s time for change. While I feel blessed to move from project to project, I now want to take some time and show new sides of myself.”

Fans can look forward to seeing Jung next in the upcoming drama ‘노무사 노무진’, set to premiere this May, where he leads in a new compelling role. This feature not only teases his upcoming transformation but also gives a rare glimpse into his behind-the-scenes mindset.
