‘Trigger’ Jeong Seong-il expressed his delight while mentioning the recent activities of the ‘The Glory’ actors.

Jeong Seong-il recently had an interview for the end of the Disney+ series ‘Trigger’ at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, and met with Donga.com to talk about the work.

When the topic of the ‘The Glory’ actors‘ active work came up that day, Jeong Seong-il said, “It’s already been two years (since ‘The Glory’ was released).”

He then said about his ‘The Glory’ co-stars Song Hye-kyo, Lim Ji-yeon, and Cha Joo-young, “I feel so good. I‘m so proud. Hye-kyo, it’s great to see a friend who was already doing well doing even better. Ji-yeon is also working tirelessly and I‘m so happy that everything she does is going well. Seeing each person doing their own thing well, I think ‘The Glory’ was a great piece of work. Joo-young and I both gave us a chance. It seems like we’re taking advantage of that opportunity and doing well. This is a very thankful piece of work, and we‘re friends. We support each other and watch over each other,” showing his affection.

Jung Sung-il expressed his will to transform like his character in ‘Trigger’ in other works in the future, saying, “Actually, I have no fear of being ruined. There were parts where I thought I could go further than this. I like things that are ruined and fun. Also, if given the chance, I’d like to be more sloppy and silly. People who are close to me say that I‘m silly. He said, ”It’s different from the first impression, so I think they like me more.“



Lastly, regarding his upcoming works, Jeong Seong-il said, ”I‘m currently filming ’Made in Korea‘ and preparing for a performance in March. ’Interview‘ will probably be released this year as well. I think I’ll do another work. I hope it all goes well. That‘s always my goal. There will be works where people will say, ’There was something like this too?‘ Even if there are similar works, I think the biggest compliment an actor can get is, ’You acted well.‘ My goal is to always hear people say that I did a good job. He raised expectations by saying, “I hope you will watch this interesting piece with interest.”



Meanwhile, ‘Trigger’ is a story about a group of vicious investigative journalists who, in order to expose the wrongdoings of bad guys in this flowery world, start by sticking their cameras in front of them. The first episode was aired on January 15th, and the last episode was aired on February 19th.

Jung Sung-il plays the role of Han-do, a rookie PD who is dropped into the investigative journalism program ‘Trigger’ team like a parachute. He is a self-made outsider ‘Trigger’s Geum-jjok-ee’ who doesn‘t fit in with the team, and he naturally portrays the process of him becoming a true member of the team by standing on the side of the weak in ‘Han-tto-rai’, awakening and growing on his own, and even changing his heart into a true PD of ‘Trigger’, drawing sympathy from viewers.
