Jun-wan, a cardiothoracic surgeon played by Jung Kyung-ho in the drama, is a gifted doctor as well as a meticulous self-management perfectionist. He's a terrific doctor, but his feisty and forthright nature makes everyone around him nervous.

"I've been a 'Hospital Playlist' for four years, including preparations," Jung Kyung-ho remarked. Kim Joon-wan eventually became Jung Kyung-ho. Kim Joon-wan, I believe, is the biggest person like me. "I don't acquire weight after playing a delicate role for more than ten years," he said, referring to the parts where he appears skinny and sensitive.

He then added, "The role of a doctor is not very touching, and it remains challenging. While living a "Hospital Playlist," I found it tough to play the character of a doctor. "I still can't imitate many parts," he admitted.

Jung Kyung-ho, who worked on filmmaker Shin Won-second ho's film after "Prison Playbook," stated, "It was my second wonderful chance to be together, so I eagerly read the script. "Jun-wan" is a combative doctor, but when he's among his medical colleagues, he reveals a another side. "I'm very intrigued and excited to see how the visuals of 'Jun-wan' will come out with different performers," he added, expressing his admiration for the work.

1. Who is Jung Kyung-ho?

He is a South Korean actor who is a member of the bands Mido and Parasols.

Jung Eul-young, a producer, is his father. Many performers were chastised by their father, who was well-known for being a tiger PD, and some actors said that they ground up Jung Kyung-ho only because he was his son. Except for the degree of neat impression, he didn't feel much like his father at the start of his debut, but as he grew older, his mouth and jaw, in particular, became more like his father's. Kim Hae-sook also said after the first reading of his wise doctor's life script, “You are gradually becoming like your father.” Kim Hae-sook is an actor who has appeared in a number of dramas directed by Jung Eun-young, the father of Jung Kyung-ho, as well as his parents Jeon Sang-seo, life is lovely, and the number of works with Jung Eun-young is significant.

There are rumors that his father assisted him because he was a former KBS producer, however, he has not worked on KBS except for two works at the start of his debut. Furthermore, his father never casts him in his work, always stating, “I can't do it yet.” As a result, he stated that one of his aspirations is to be acknowledged as an actor by his father and cast in a production directed by his father. For the past ten years, he has been dating Girls' Generation member and actress Sooyoung. He began dating in 2012 during a religious meeting and has been in a long-term relationship for ten years as of 2022. Suyeong is at 172cm and Jung Kyung-ho stands at 184cm, and the two are well-known for their tall coupling.

Jung Kyung-ho explained how he met Sooyoung, saying, "I was introduced," adding, “I didn't ask him to introduce me first, but I strived for it, not organically.” "I was a great admirer of Girls' Generation even before I met Sooyoung," Jung Kyung-ho stated. “I've been to Girls' Generation concerts multiple times.” Jung Kyung-ho was born in 1983 and will turn 38 this year, and his girlfriend Sooyoung was born in 1990, and 31 years old this year.

2. Jung Kyung-ho's Personality

Jung Kyung-ho was chosen as an actor with contrasting traits from the real world by Ahn Eun-jin, who stated, "In the drama, I'm sensitive, but in fact, I'm a cutie for my sweetness." "I don't know how to act so well," he continued. "I'm a wonderful person who appreciates life," he explained.

"A person with a lot of affection has a lot of tears," actor Jeon Mi-do observed of Jung Kyung-ho.  "I believe Kyung-ho feels more than typical men," he explained, showing his unusual sensitivity.  "Hospital Playlist" producer Shin Won-ho stated that Jung Kyung-true ho's personality is quite pleasant.

"Actor Jung Kyung-ho sent me a Kakao Talk message every night," producer Shin Won-ho stated of his appearance in the show. I kept pleading with him. "Writer Lee Woo-jung and I both had favorite performers, but I was concerned that they wouldn't fit the character Jun-wan because he was such a friendly friend." I recognized some of the characters in a few of them. That's why I made my decision. "He's doing so good right now," he continued.

3. Jung Kyung-ho's Activities (Actor's Life)

He starred as Choi Yoon in KBS2's "I'm Sorry, I Love You" in 2004 and gained a lot of female admirers with the SBS drama "Smile, You," starring Lee Min-jung and Choi Bul-am. Many people believe that the fashion displayed in this work is an excellent response to the so-called “men's fashion that ladies appreciate.”

In 2013, he portrayed Jeong Si-hyun, the main character of Mujeong City, on JTBC, demonstrating his acting abilities. Following the broadcast, he was shown on the same station's witch hunt.

His partnership with JTBC continued, and in 2015, he played the male protagonist Kang Min-ho (James Kang) in "Beating Again," interpreting a character that may be somewhat cliché-like in an appealing way and delivering an amazing performance.

From 2017 to 2018, he portrayed Lee Joon-ho, a dependable assistant to the main character Kim Je-hyuk in the tvN drama "Prison Playbook." The lovely character Lee Joon-ho, who appears indifferently chic and has subtle insignificance, has become one of the major elements in the drama's popularity, as the drama itself earned renown with the good playing of the licorice-like main/support performers in the production.

He was evaluated as a live work and life actor after performing in the OCN drama "Life on Mars" in 2018. The proportion of Han Tae-joo's effort is close to 99% due to the nature of the labor, demonstrating a deep performance without ups and downs despite the merciless heat and tight timelines. Many people praised his performance with Park Sung-woong in particular.

In 2020, he starred on tvN's "Hospital Playlist" and was at the pinnacle of his acting career. He played Kim Joon-wan, a thoracic surgery professor, and portrayed a handsome character who is capable and feisty, but has a sincere heart and becomes a pure man in front of his fiancée. Furthermore, he played the guitar in the same way that his doctor colleagues play a band every weekend as a hobby, and outside of the drama, he played the second guitar of Mido and parasols and performed live on YouTube.

4. ‘Hospital Playlist’ Interview

Q. How do you feel about working with director Shin Won-ho and writer Lee Woo-jung again after "Prison Playbook"?

- In my other work, I strive to pay close attention to the character. When I began working on the "Prison Playbook," I learned how to express myself honestly for the first time in a long time. If I do it again with the coach, I'll check what I have, and it's nice to be able to express myself honestly.

 

Q. What prompted you to be on the "Hospital Playlist"?

- Instead of making a decision, I urged the director to do it first.

 

Q. What steps do you take to become an excellent actor or actress?

-Being a good actor begins with being a nice person. To express yourself through acting, you must have good thoughts and phrases.

Q. What would you do if you could relive your adolescence?

Now I like it. I want to go back to my 20s and tell them to do the works I've done so far, but I don't want to if I don't have to. I'm thankful and content with my job and my current life.

 

Q. What was the strength of performing nonstop for 16 years?

- Unlike other things, I want to perform well because it's wonderful and entertaining. The most crucial aspect of performing is 'harmony' with those who perform with you.

 

Q. What are your thoughts on marrying Sooyoung, a Girls' Generation actress you've been dating for ten years?

- Jung Kyung-ho stated, "I usually last a long time once I get into a relationship."  I've been dating my girlfriend for about ten years and believe that when the time comes, I should marry her. We haven't had a long conversation yet. I don't seem to be conscious of many things in my relationship right now. I had a long time with my girlfriend and I made many memories. Isn't she the one who talked the most in my life? She is also the only one. It seems that he only talks about his worries with his girlfriend.
