Actors often take on diverse roles in dramas and films, showcasing a range of characters.
Their ability to deliver highly immersive performances can sometimes leave audiences identifying the actor more with their on-screen persona than with their real-life identity. Park Sung Hoon is one such example.
From December 2022 to March 2023, Park Sung Hoon portrayed Jeon Jae Joon in the hit drama 'The Glory.'
In the series, Jeon Jae Joon is a perpetrator of school violence with a hot-headed and ruthless personality. Park Sung Hoon brought the character to life with an intense and realistic performance, leaving a lasting impression on viewers.
'The Glory' became a nationwide sensation, and even more than a year after the show’s conclusion, Park Sung Hoon is still remembered by the public as "Jeon Jae Joon" rather than his real name. This has led to humorous situations where people recognize the character but not the actor behind it.
Now, Park Sung Hoon is ready to leave a new mark on audiences with a completely different role.
It has been officially announced that he will star in Netflix’s highly anticipated 'Squid Game 2.'
First released in 2021, 'Squid Game' became a global phenomenon thanks to its unique concept and gripping storyline. The series captivated viewers with its intense premise: childhood games that contestants must play for their lives. Alongside this thrilling setup, the show addressed pressing social issues like wealth inequality, resonating with audiences worldwide.
As 'Squid Game' prepares for its second season, anticipation is at an all-time high.
Park Sung Hoon will take on the role of "Hyun Joo," signaling a complete transformation from Jeon Jae Joon. In a teaser video, Park Sung Hoon appears wearing a bob-cut wig, drawing attention and sparking speculation about his character.
With eye and lip makeup revealed in the teaser, many have speculated that Park Sung Hoon will portray a cross-dressing character. However, no specific details about his role have been disclosed, further fueling curiosity about his transformation.
Park Sung Hoon’s portrayal of Hyun Joo is expected to capture viewers' attention once again, showcasing a stark departure from the menacing image he established in 'The Glory.'
As fans eagerly anticipate his new role, questions remain about Hyun Joo’s character and the storyline’s development.
'Squid Game 2' will premiere globally on Netflix on December 26.
