He barely registered with me in Brilliant Legacy. I just referred to him as 'Hwan's Buddy' but he was SO great in Doctor Champ. Sangbong was truly one of the highlights of the drama, perhaps even more than some of the main characters. I really enjoyed his story from the beginning to the end, I felt he should've played a bigger role toward the end, but it was all good. I loved his friendship with Jung Kyeowon's character, and am hoping for a bright future for him in the industry!

Marine deaths hit a nerve for Jeong Seok-won

Actor served until 2007 as sergeant with special reconnaissance unit

By Yuh Ah-jeong [jason@joongang.co.kr] joongangdaily.com

Actor Jeong Won-seok had a busy year. Aside from appearing on television dramas, he will also be in two films

set for release in 2011. By Lee Ho-young

Actor and ex-marine Jeong Seok-won attended the funeral service honoring fallen Marine Corps soldiers who were killed in the North Korean shelling of Yeonpyeong Island in the Yellow Sea.

Among the hundreds of government and military officials, religious leaders and civilians in attendance at the service for Sgt. Seo Jeong-woo and Pvt. Moon Kwang-wook were entertainers who served with the ROK Marine Corps. Lee Jung and Choi Phillip were just two of the notable former Marines in attendance at a military hospital in Seongnam, Gyeonggi.

Jeong visited the wake on Nov. 24 and was in attendance at the funeral service on Nov. 27. He was a sergeant with the ROK Marine Corps Special Recon until April 2007.

The 25-year-old vented his anger over the Yeonpyeong Island incident on his Twitter and personal Web pages on Nov. 24.

“I was overcome with anger that day,” Jeong said. “But I stopped from uploading more text on the Web because some might get the wrong idea that I was using the incident to promote myself to the public. That’s why I attended the wake and service quietly, without getting noticed by cameramen and photographers. But even that didn’t work out the way I intended.”

Jeong was part of an elite special reconnaissance team with the Marine Corps, widely known as the toughest branch of the Korean military. “My dream was to become a stunt coordinator specializing in martial arts,” said Jeong. “I thought I could learn a lot by volunteering for the Marine Corps. Once I got in, I was told that they had a special reconnaissance team, but that candidates had to go through a series of tough physical tests. I was told only the very best, or 0.3 percent of the candidates, made the final cut.

“I passed the tests and ended up learning a lot. I was trained in scuba diving, parachuting and to go an entire week without sleeping. We even marched from Daegwallyeong, Gangwon to Pohang, North Gyeongsang over 14 consecutive days.”

As planned, Jeong initially got into stunt work after completing his military service, but came across acting jobs.

“Once I got my foot in the door, I came across several opportunities,” Jeong said. “I started off with the thought that I could benefit from doing stunt work as well as acting.”

Jeong most recently appeared in a television drama called “Dr. Champ,” a story about the national judo team and the medical staff at the National Training Center in Northern Seoul. Jeong appeared in the drama as a star athlete.

“I was really drawn to the role,” Jeong said. “It was a feel good story and appropriately enough, the actors and staff on set were made up of really nice people. “It was also a meaningful experience from the standpoint that the director trusted me enough and allowed me to experiment with the role. I also became really close with the national judo team members.”

Jeong was also cast in two films this year, one romance - set for release in February - and one action flick (“The Beast”) that is set for release in May. “It was really tough to juggle both schedules, but now that it’s all done, I’m really happy about the results,” said Jeong.

He said he slept three hours a day over the past three months. Filming The Beast was especially tough, he said. “Since I went to a sports university and also served in the Marine Corps, I might be in better physical shape than other actors, but it’s always tough to handle such busy schedule,” he said.

Jeong hopes to continue to put his strong work ethic to good use in making films.

“I haven’t been cast in any other films or dramas at this point, but whatever offer I get, I want to put everything I have into it,” said Jeong. “I was told by veteran actor Kim Jung-nam that actors need to soak in other experiences, even when not involved in acting. That’s why I try to read as much I can these days. I also watch a lot of films.”

Jung Seok-won’s new movie and photo shoot

jungseokwon3.jpg

The real romance in Dr. Champ wasn’t a romance at all; it was a bromance, between the adorable pair of Olympic judo athletes, Ji-heon and Sang-bong, lifetime rivals and bestest friends. It probably didn’t hurt that they were also rivals in the hotness department, as is um…clearly evident. Jung Seok-won, former Seoul Action School stuntman and bit player is moving up in the world, with a photo spread and a new film due out next year.

The photo above makes me involuntarily fluttery. Also, I want that jacket. If he happened to come with said jacket, I wouldn’t complain. Just, you know, in case you were wondering what to get me for Christmas.

The sweater he’s wrestling below I don’t love as much, mostly because it’s being a big tease. That or it’s trying to eat him alive. Either way, I am firmly against it. The outfit below, on the other hand? Now that’s a man rockin’ skinny jeans. I mean, who knew?

His latest project is the action film The Beast, aptly named since Jung is the picture-perfect example of the beast-man trend. I would love it if that trend died down, not because I have anything against abs (hellooo), but because of that horrible moniker. It’s the one instance where the Korean connotation is worse than the English, when it’s usually the other way around.

The Beast features Jung in the lead role, and as a former stuntman, he’s doing 100% of the stunts for this film himself. The crew has taken to calling him “Ong Bak” on set, in reference to the eponymous film’s Thai action hero. Jung plays a special forces agent who goes up against a shady organization when they kidnap his younger sister. Cue: Rescue Mission with a Vengeance. If the posters are any indication, it’ll be beautifully shot and bloody. The good news is that Jung looks genuinely intense. He’s been getting better with every role, but this’ll be his first big one, so we’ll have to see if he can carry a film on his own. My sense is, his choice to break into leading actor territory in an action role is pitch perfect for him.

Jung showed a desire to play a diverse range of roles, saying, “I want to play a bum, a gangster, a cheapskate, a country bumpkin, an elitist, a villain…I want to try everything. I want to reinvent the image of Jung Seok-won that everyone has, saying, ‘I have this side of me too.’”

The Beast, directed by Hwang Yoo-shik and co-starring Jeon Se-hong, Jung Jun-hwan, Yoon Jung-yul, and Yoon Bong-gil, is slated to premiere next spring.
