‘Trigger’ Jung Sung-il talked about actors Kim Hye-soo and Joo Jong-hyuk, who he acted with.

Jung Sung-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 his attitude toward acting came up that day, Jung Sung-il said, “While doing plays, people around me would tell me, ‘You‘re doing great, you’re doing great.’. In my early 30s, I really thought I was good. But a certain director cursed at me a lot, saying, ‘Why are you acting like that?’. So I went up to the mountain and practiced a lot with my partner. A week later, I heard, ‘You‘re doing well now.’. After that, I started to doubt my acting. It’s easy to support someone. It‘s more memorable when you tell someone they’re on the wrong path. He said, “Because of that person, I keep trying hard and feel anxious, and that makes me work harder.”



About his acting chemistry with Kim Hye-soo, who he worked with the most in ‘Trigger’, Jeong Seong-il said, “There‘s no need to say anything about the acting, it was really great. Even now, Jong-hyeok and I send messages every day. When I see acting on set, whether I’m with her or an opponent, I miss it when I‘m concentrating. But I also learn a lot from monitoring ‘Trigger’. I learn on set and keep in touch while monitoring. He said, ”You’re so good. You‘re amazing. I’m learning more.“ I thought to myself, ”I didn‘t know an actor could do this much on set. He’s like the captain of the acting team, and it was nice that he made the set atmosphere comfortable. It‘s also great to meet him privately. He seems like a really good, wonderful person. He is one of the few great people.”

Jung Sung-il also said about actor Joo Jong-hyuk, “Jong-hyuk is so lovable. He’s like a doll. We became close so quickly. We became close before filming, and we’ve been like that ever since. Our algorithms are similar. The way we look at each other and talk. You forget the age difference. We’re like friends.” He added, “It feels like a drama that we all made together, not someone else’s drama. That’s why I think it’s even better,” and expressed his gratitude to all the actors who appeared in “Trigger.”



Jung Sung-il said about his thoughts on the end of “Trigger,” “To be honest, it still doesn’t feel real. It’s been a long time since I sent him off, but now that the results are coming in. I remember the feelings and moments from back then as I watch it. It’s such a shame that it’s ending tomorrow. I hope there are people who will watch it all at once now,” he said.

Meanwhile, ‘Trigger’ depicts the story of vicious investigative journalism professionals who first stick their cameras in order to expose the wrongdoings of bad guys in this flower-like world. The first episode was released on January 15, and the last episode was released on February 19.

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 naturally portrays the process of Han-do, a voluntary outsider who doesn’t fit in with the team, ‘Trigger‘s gold-plated charm’, standing on the side of the weak, awakening and growing on his own, becoming a true member of the team, and even changing his heart into a true PD of ‘Trigger’, drawing sympathy from viewers.
