Translation


Actor Jung Sung-il has completely shed his cold and arrogant image and taken on a free-spirited side.

In the final episode of Disney+‘s ‘Trigger’, which was released on the 19th (Wednesday), Jung Sung-il, along with the ‘Trigger’ team, solved the long-unsolved disappearance of Cha Sung-wook and simultaneously exposed the dark truth about the Hanju Group to the world, giving viewers a thrilling catharsis. He also completely let go of the resentment toward his father and the disappointment toward his older brother that had been building up in a corner of his heart, and he grew even further by finally becoming one with the ‘Trigger’ team.

Jung Sung-il took on the role of Han Do, a rookie PD born in the 90s who is dropped into the investigative reporting program ‘Trigger’ team like a parachute. He naturally portrayed the process of a voluntary outsider who didn’t fit in with the team, ‘Trigger‘s Goldfinch’, and a ‘Hantorai’, standing on the side of the weak, awakening and growing on his own, becoming a true member of the team, and even changing into a true PD of ‘Trigger’, which drew sympathy from viewers.

Jung Sung-il’s visual transformation was also a big topic of conversation. Jung Sung-il, who had been the epitome of an intellectual yet cold image, took off the tailored suits that had been his trademark and wore a hoodie and jeans, rode a bicycle instead of a luxury car, and freely expressed his free-spirited energy, digesting the character of ‘Hando’ like a tailor-made suit.

Jung Sung-il‘s acting became much freer, but it wasn’t light. Jeong Seong-il, who has been burning his whole body with various action scenes such as running, rolling, getting stepped on, and flying in the sky since the first episode, proved his extraordinary acting spectrum once again by conveying in detail the process of honestly expressing his emotions as the episodes progress, from a comical appearance to a grumbling but genuine appearance worrying about his teammates.

Jeong Seong-il, who showed an outstanding acting transformation through ‘Trigger’, plans to continue showing his acting transformation through his next work. First, Jeong Seong-il, who is challenging his first screen leading role with the movie ‘Interview’, is expected to fill his filmography with diverse roles, such as the serial killer Young-hoon, who has a brilliant mind and meticulous personality to the point of perfectly covering up his crimes, and the chief secretary Cheon Seok-joong, who will provide thrilling tension in Disney+ ‘Made in Korea’.
