Seoul, Korea – Hwang Jeong Min, star of the hit movie The Unjust, with over 2 million audiences in more than a week, made an appearance in the tvN talk show Baek Ji Yeon’s People Inside, talking about movies and life. It will air on Monday, the 15th at 10pm.

On recently recorded segment, Hwang Jeong Min’s compliments of co-stars Ryu Seung Bom and Yoo Hae Jin were eye-catching. Especially interesting was his seemingly envy of actor Ryu Seung Bom when he remarked “I thought that an actor had to routinely train themselves and the one who broke that thought was Seung Bom”.

Regarding Yoo Hae Jin, he remarked “He is in my league”, adding “He does look a little like a farmer’s son or your next door neighbor, and it was easy working with him even though it was the first time”.

He also spoke regarding the life of ‘actor Hwang Jeong Min’. Known for his detailed research and coverage when given a role, Hwang Jeong min remarked “The two, three months before filming is the hardest time”. He emphasized the importance of getting into and covering a character by saying “The audience will think that I’m being genuine even though I made a mistake because I did not research the character enough”.

He continued, saying “When I was in middle school, I watched the musical Peter Pan starring Yun Bok Hee and I thought to myself ‘I wonder what it feels like to be the people inside that space’, and that’s when I wanted to become an actor”.

He also made a surprise confession, saying “After I transferred to an arts High School, I did some unusual things such as not showering for about 2 weeks acting like a beggar, and wearing a cast even though I wasn’t hurt, prompting people to call me ‘mental’.”

On this day, Hwang Jeong Min was praised by the staff of the show for showing himself as a no-nonsense, 40 year old father.
