Actor Park Sung-hoon released a pictorial through fashion magazine Arena.

Park Sung-hoon garnered much attention last year for his role as Jo Hyun-joo, a former special forces player in ‘Squid Game 2’.The sequel, ‘Squid Game 3’, is scheduled to be released on Netflix on June 27.

Park Sung-hoon talked about the time when he first prepared for the role of Jo Hyun-joo with director Hwang Dong-hyeok.”Hyun-joo should never be trivialized.That was the first point we set with the director.In fact, I met with many transgender people and received help, and I also read the script with the director in various tones.Although it doesn’t appear in the film, we talked in great detail about Hyun-joo’s past and gradually created the character.”

Many people still remember Park Sung-hoon as Jeon Jae-joon in ‘The Glory’.The afterglow of that ‘doesn’ t it feel like homework? ‘


“Park Sung-hoon is a common name.Although they know my face, not many people remember the name Park Sung-hoon.However, after’ The Glory, ‘there are a lot more people who remember me as Jeon Jae-joon.In the past, if I had to explain it in a long way, like’ I saw that guy somewhere, ‘now, they just remember my face with the three letters’ Jeon Jae-joon.’ I’m grateful for that.Rather than thinking that I need to quickly get rid of Jeon Jae-joon, I’m still enjoying it.”

Park Sung-hoon, who is remembered as Jeon Jae-joon, Yoon Eun-sung, and Jo Hyun-joo, what kind of actor would you like to be remembered as in the future? “My goal is to become the most trustworthy and watchable actor in Korea.Some people might laugh at me if they hear it, but I think it’s not a dream if no one laughs.My dream and goal is to become an actor that everyone can trust and watch.”


Park Sung Hoon’s pictorial can be found in the June issue of Arena Homme Plus.
