Jun So Min Talks About Her New Drama And How She Differs From Her “Running Man” Image

E. Cha January 20, 2018

Actress Jun So Min recently sat down for an interview to talk about her role in the upcoming tvN drama “Cross.”

 

The star, who is currently appearing on the SBS variety program “Running Man,” claimed that her real-life persona is nothing like her image on the show.

“A lot of people watch ‘Running Man’ and think of me as extremely aggressive, energetic, and crazy,” Jun So Min said with a laugh. “But I’m actually a timid woman.”

She went on to compare her personality to that of Go Ji In, her character in “Cross.” The actress explained, “Go Ji In, on the other hand, is very passionate and full of determination. I think those aspects of her personality make her different from me. However, like Go Ji In, I also feel the stirrings of justice inside me and can’t hold myself back whenever I see injustice. I think that’s our biggest similarity.”

She added, “I think everyone will like Go Ji In’s passionate, righteous personality. To put it simply, she’s a just person. On top of that, she’s friendly and cheerful, and she’s nice to older people. I believe the viewers will like that side of her.”

Upcoming Medical Drama “Cross” Reveals Character Chart With Complicated, Intense Relationships

K. Lew January 22, 2018

Upcoming tvN drama “Cross” is increasing anticipation as it recently released a character chart introducing the relationships between main and supporting characters.

See Also: “Cross” Releases Individual Posters Of Go Kyung Pyo, Jun So Min, And More

“Cross” is a medical thriller about a genius doctor Kang In Kyu (played by Go Kyung Pyo) who has murderous intentions against his enemy and a humanistic doctor Go Jung Hoon (played by Jo Jae Hyun) who accepts Kang In Kyu’s genius while the two stand at the crossroads of life and death.

Among all the characters, Kang In Kyu stands out as he has a unique triangle-like relationship with those around him. He appears to have conflict with Go Jung Hoon, have a relationship of hatred with Kim Hyung Bum (played by Heo Sung Tae), and is enemies with Baek Ji Nam (played by Yoo Seung Mok).

The relationship between the two main characters is one of great interest. In the past, Kang In Kyu believed and followed Go Jung Hoon as he was his one and only mentor, while Go Jung Hoon cherished Kang In Kyu and thought of him his successor. However, for a reason yet to be known, the two now stand opposed and have become extremely different. The drama will reveal why Kang In Kyu holds so much hatred for his former mentor, and if that is somehow related to his hatred and desire for vengeance towards Kim Hyung Bum, the criminal who murdered his father.

The chart also reveals the characters that will fill the Shinkwang Prison and Sunlim Hospital. Shinkwang Prison is where Kang In Kyu will put into motion his plot for revenge which he had been planning for 15 years. Sunlim Hospital is where Go Jung Hoon will show his skills as a doctor. Two characters who stand out among these settings are Son Young Shik (played by Jang Gwang) and Lee Sang Hoon (played by Kim Jong Gu). The two power players believe that the hospital needs to place more importance on influence rather than patients. They constantly struggle with Go Jung Hoon and may even put the good doctor in danger.

Medical thriller 'Cross' crosses between good and evil, legal and illegal

By Woo Jae-yeon

 

SEOUL, Jan. 25 (Yonhap) -- A young boy is determined to become a doctor. His ulterior motive is, however, chilling. For him, it is not about healing people but killing someone. This shocking and controversial story will be featured in the new TV series "Cross" on cable network tvN.

 

"It was very interesting to read (in the script) about... a doctor, supposed to save lives, being in the position of easily destroying them," the producer Shin Yong-hui told reporters during a media briefing in Seoul on Thursday.

 

"Having said that, the story is more about the relationship between the protagonist and people around him who have a positive influence over him and slowly change him than about the sensational subjects of revenge or illegal organ transplantation."

The story revolves around the doctor Kang In-kyu, played by Go Kyung-pyo, who sets his mind to becoming a doctor to avenge the murder of his father and the death of his sister.

 

After an accident, he acquires sudden savant syndrome, which gives him extraordinary visual capabilities. He excels in medical school and studies hard to find a way not only to heal patients but also to secretly and "legally" kill them.

 

One day, he applies for a job at the prison where his father's killer is locked up. Go gets an inch nearer to his dream of taking vengeance on the killer, a chilling mission he has dreamed of for 15 years.

 

Veteran actor Cho Jae-hyun plays the role of exemplary doctor Koh Jung-hun, director at an organ transplant center. Once close to Kang, Koh is forced to square off with Kang, who shuts himself off and sets out to take revenge.

As organ transplantation is a fresh subject on South Korean TV, the producer said the team has listened to quite a few medical professionals to depict more realistic stories.

 

"Social awareness about organ donation, especially cornea donation, is still very poor. I myself signed up for cornea donation five years ago," said the actor Cho. "I hope our drama serves as a chance to call more attention to the subject."

   

The drama also features the story of an organ transplant coordinator, a very rare profession in the country. Actress Jeon So-min plays the character Koh Ji-in, daughter of Koh. Unfamiliar with the job herself, Jeon said she studied the profession by looking up stories about a real-life coordinator.

 

"The main character chooses to fulfill his duty of saving lives in the end. It touched my heart," the producer said.

 

The drama is set to premiere at 9:30 p.m. on Monday.

“Cross” is a medical revenge thriller that follows the story of genius doctor Kang In Kyu (Go Kyung Pyo) who dreams of getting revenge, humanistic doctor Go Jung Hoon (Jo Jae Hyun), and his daughter, organ transplant coordinator Go Ji In (Jun So Min). While Go Kyung Pyo and Jo Jae Hyun will be locked in a fierce battle of morals and wit, their relationship will also become more complicated as Go Kyung Pyo and Jun So Min become romantically involved.

On their experience working together, Jun So Min said, “When I first heard that I would be working with Go Kyung Pyo, I was really happy. He’s always a very warm person on set and he takes care of those around him. Though he’s younger than me, he’s very thoughtful and kind. I should be taking care of him because I’m older, but it feels like he’s the one taking care of me.”

Hi everyone! I'm happy to join this forum. I'm looking for a change of pace from straight romance dramas and this definitely looks like it fits the bill. So right now I have Cross, Radio Romance, and Waikiki as my dramas to watch. Hopefully Radio Romance and Waikiki will be a nice light break after watching Cross!

Jun So Min Lights Up The Set Of “Cross” With Her Smile And Bright Personality

J. Lim January 27, 2018

 

vN’s upcoming drama “Cross” has shared stills of Jun So Min keeping the atmosphere on set lively with her smiles and bright energy.

“Cross” will be a medical revenge thriller that depicts the story of genius doctor Kang In Kyu (Go Kyung Pyo) trying to enact revenge through a medical procedure and his mentor, the humanistic doctor Go Jung Hoon (Jo Jae Hyun) who tries to stop him. Jun So Min will play Go Ji In, the daughter of Go Jung Hoon and an organ transplant coordinator.

The first set of stills show Jun So Min working with Go Kyung Pyo as they stare at a screen of a mobile phone together. Though most of her face is covered by a surgical mask, her eyes are lit up with mischief and joy and it looks like Go Kyung Pyo isn’t quite sure how to handle so much energy.

The “Cross” production staff stated, “Though this is the first time that Go Kyung Pyo and Jun So Min are working together, both actors have great chemistry and are like a shot of endorphins for everyone on set with their bright personalities. They keep everyone relaxed and laughing on set.”

‘Cross’ to bring attention to organ transplantations
 

Setting itself apart from other medical dramas, tvN’s “Cross” deals with the subject of organ transplantation, hoping that viewers come to recognize the importance of the issue. 

 

Medical dramas have become a popular fixture on Korean TV, many portraying the strenuous lives of surgeons. But there has not been a drama that speaks of organ transplantation, as the subject itself is still unfamiliar to the public. 

 

A new Monday-Tuesday drama series “Cross” -- featuring actors Cho Jae-hyun and Go Kyung-pyo and actress Jeon So-min -- hopes to shed light onto the topic of organ donation. 

 

“While organ donation is very much needed in society, people do not know of its importance. I hope that the public can be more aware of it through the drama,” director Shin Yong-hui said, at a media briefing that took place Thursday at Times Square mall in western Seoul.

Traditionally, Koreans viewed it immoral to damage the body of the deceased, and many are uncomfortable about agreeing to organ donations. Even cremation has not had a long history in Korea.

 

As of 2016, a total of 573 people had their organs donated after their deaths, allowing for 2,306 transplants, according to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

 

The numbers are gradually increasing, but are still insufficient, when compared with the patients waiting for organ transplants. Based on 2015 research by the state organization, a patient has to wait 1,185 days on average for an organ donation. 

 

Actor Cho, who portrays a doctor who works at an organ transplantation center, hopes that more people recognize the importance of organ donation. 

 

“I myself signed up for cornea donation five years ago. Those who cannot see can have their sight back, if they find the right cornea,” he said. “It would be nice if the drama could draw more attention to the subject.”

 

In the drama, Jeon, who has come to fame through SBS’ “Running Man,” plays the role of a transplant coordinator.

 

“The profession was unfamiliar to me. I looked up interviews with Korea’s first organ transplant coordinator, studying more about the job,” she said. 

 

The story centers on a talented doctor, played by Go Kyung-pyo, who practices medicine as a way to get access to the jailed murderer of his father and sister, in order to exact revenge. He acquires sudden savant syndrome in an accident and is consequently able to see things in microscopic detail. But Go emphasizes that his role is not that of a psychic with superpowers. 

 

“There aren’t any actual of cases of savant syndrome shown involving vision. It’s a fictional set-up,” he said. “But what we want is not supernatural powers. We are actually scaling down my character’s capability as we shoot as we are worried that it could be too much.” 

 

“Cross” is the latest in tvN’s output of genre-dramas, succeeding its previous hit series “Stranger” and “Signal.” Producer Shin was well-received with his last genre-drama “Tunnel,” based on a time-travelling theme. 

 

“Medical dramas require excessive studying and preparation as it is a professional field. Many experts advised us,” director Shin said. “I was concerned about how a genre-drama can be viewed more comfortably by the public,” he said. “But as always, it’s the viewer’s choice.”

 

The new drama show is to air its first episode Monday at 9:30 p.m.
