"The Bad People: Reign of Chaos" is a crime action film about the extraordinary escape of convoys and the operations of bad guys who band together to apprehend missing criminals. It was based on the same-named TV drama that aired on OCN in 2014. Ma Dong-seok, Kim Sang-joong, Kim Ah-joong, and Jang Ki-yong made their debuts and quickly rose to prominence.

Kim Ah-joong, in particular, demonstrated an unusual dramatic shift in the character of emotional con artist Kwak No-soon in the crime action thriller “The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos.” Kim Ah-joong, who introduced her character as "a swindler who moves for her own gain, but is also chatty and human," is a new emotional swindler not seen in the drama "Bad Guys," and she is a bad guy's brain, Kwak No-soon, who keeps an eye on a variety of crooks. When the worst offenders flee, the police reconvene the Special Crime Investigation Division, and class president Oh Gu-tak (Kim Sang-joong) begins to organize a team to eliminate the bad men.

"I think the biggest attraction is the slickness of seeming to be a strategist until the end," Kim Ah-joong said of her character's charm in the play.  "The scenario has melted me so much that I feel like a compliment to an actor," Kim Ah-joong added, adding, "I could see that you designed a role with my performance in mind. “I was moved and grateful.” Even during breaks, Kim Ah-joong is known for her zealous monitoring of scripts and camcorders.

"Kim Ah-joong is quite rigid about his acting," an agency official stated.  Even if everyone compliments you on your performance, you are unsatisfied and continue to study the script and characters. "When I have a moment, I watch the last broadcast again on my smartphone and check myself to prevent my emotions from bursting out when I postpone the next episode," she said, surprised. 

Viewers are fully aware of Kim Ah-joong's earnestness in wanting to become a fine actor who plays for a long time, rather than only as a star, as a result of her efforts.  Kim Ah-joong has been in the spotlight as an actress with a wide acting spectrum and delicate acting spectrum that goes beyond the evaluation of an actor with stable acting talents by passionately constructing characters from the start of the drama.  So, what kind of performer is Kim Ah-joong?

1. Who is Kim Ah-Joong?

Kim Ah-joong was born in 1982 in Hwigyeong-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, and had her debut in 2004 with a Sky advertisement. She has since participated in several works, including the film My PS Partner and the drama "Myeongbuljeon." Recently, she has been performing in the Disney Plus drama 'Grid'.

Her parents named her Kim Ah-jung, which means "Be the center of Asia." She  was the president of the entire school when she was in elementary school since she was such a wonderful student.  Kim Ah-joong was so active and laid-back that she was the head of the cheering squad at retreats and school events when she was in middle school, according to the principal "You simply arrive. Instead, prepare for talent showcases."

Kim Ah-joong, who was always popular among her peers her age, danced anytime music came on when she was in her second year of high school at the age of 18, dreamed of the entertainment industry by seeking for 12 auditions a day, received an offer, and prepared to be a solo singer.

What Kim Ah-joong was working on at the time was a project pushed by actor Jackie Chan, and she was preparing to make her debut as a singer.  She went by the stage name "Ajun" because her name was difficult for outsiders to pronounce, and she even filmed a music video before abandoning her dream of becoming a singer when the project was abandoned due to internal issues.  However, with this opportunity, she will enter the broadcasting and entertainment department at Dongdeok Women's University after a year of retaking after graduating from Hwigyeong Girls' High School in order to become an actress.

2. What is Kim Ah-joong's Personality?

"I always attempted to be comfortable with those around me," Kim Ah-joong said in an interview. "But some people feel uncomfortable." They  thought I was stunning, arrogant, and coy," she explained.

"There are quite a few individuals around me who claim that meeting me in person is like meeting a civil servant or a sociological assistant," Kim Ah-joong continued, revealing that his true demeanor is far from arrogant and sly.

Furthermore, Kim Ah-joong made an appearance on the visible radio of "Kong Hyung-Cinetown" jin's to reveal his true demeanor, which is not what people assume.

Gong Hyung-jin, a DJ, stated, “I haven't seen you in private very often. I expected it to be bright and energetic, but how does it actually feel?”

"Everyone expects me to be bright and cheery after watching myself in the movie," Kim Ah-joong responded, "but in truth, I'm a little calm." "The actual appearance is quieter than expected," many comment.

3. Kim Ah-joong's Activities (Actor Life)

Kim Ah-joong began her career as an advertising model in 2004 and entered into the entertainment field by appearing in the entertainment show Simsimpuri-Love Survival Pit-a-pat, and launched her full-fledged acting career in 2004 with the drama Haesin.

She appeared in the drama "Rules of Love" and the film "Kwang-Little sik's Brother Kwang-tae," and she rose to prominence after earning accolades at the 44th Daejong Awards, including Best Actress for the 2006 film “Maria.”

For example, after demonstrating her high-quality singing skills in 200 Pounds Beauty, she could have gone on to become a multi-entertainer who combines singers and actors, but Kim Ah-joong herself stated, "There are many unknown singers who can't stand on stage because they're a little popular right now."

Following the film '200 Pounds Beauty,' Kim Ah-joong focused on her education rather than her job activities during a pause to expand her acting career.  After a three-year break, she returned with the films "Gift" and "Just Watching" in 2009.

Following that, she resumed her acting career, appearing in the dramas "Sign," "Wanted," and "Whatcha Wearin?" in stages.

However, after a three-year sabbatical following the drama "Live Up to Your Name," Kim Ah-joong participated in the 2019 film "The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos," and has been declaring his recent status as Jeong Sae-byeok in the Disney Plus drama “Grid.”

4. ‘The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos’ Interview   

Q. How long has it been since the drama Live Up to Your Name?

-I chose it immediately following the drama, but I believe they believe they took a long hiatus because there was a period of filming and preparation for the release.

Isn't it every female actor's ambition to have a lot of work? (laughs) It's been a while since I've looked for work that I've been able to perform in a very limited number of tasks.

Q. So, what did you think of The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos?

- Kim Soo-jin, CEO of Silk Road Films, is one of the polite female producers who would like to collaborate with him, and he approached me, saying, "I plan to make a movie of the original drama Bad Guys> and I want to alter the male character of the original to a female character."

If you're interested in the film, you should play yourself and work on the role.

I eagerly awaited the scenario, and as I read it, I thought, "This is how the person who wrote it thinking about me feels."

Q. You are the only woman on the "Bad Guys" crew, and have you ever concerned that a female character would be introduced into a story in which only men appear?  Furthermore, Kwak No-soon's description of her appearance, such as "Hot Body," was unsettling.

-Kwak No-soon is given a specific goal. I didn't believe it was a mix of gender-based characters because this character had given me accurate aims and attributes to work as a single character. "Hot body" is also a problem if it is used to target a sexy character regardless of the nature of the character, but Kwak No-soon is a fraud character who utilizes speech, persuasion, and looks as a weapon, and I thought that such a character was a way of portraying the character. Kwak No-soon, like Park Woong-chul, has a "famous fist" and exploits his appearance as a tool of deception and a weapon. Regardless of the type of the character, it appears vital to distinguish whether or not it is targeted.

Q.What did director Son Yong-ho expect from Kwak No-or soon's actor Kim Ah-in's characters? 

-There are times when I find myself laughing more than watching dramas, and I believe I wanted Kwak No-soon to play that part. Furthermore, Kwak No-soon frequently describes the situation with lines, however there are many lines and some of the sentences are long, therefore I wanted him to deliver the lines swiftly.
