Park Ji-hoon from 'You Quiz' says, "I debuted as the son of a salt merchant in 'Jumong' at age 8... I changed my career path to become an idol after watching popping videos in middle school"

Park Ji-hoon shared how he got into acting.

On the 26th, Park Ji-hoon, the lead actor of the movie 〈The King's Warden〉, which is on the verge of surpassing 7 million viewers, appeared on the tvN talk show 〈You Quiz on the Block〉. Park Ji-hoon has received much acclaim from audiences for his performance as 'Lee Hong-wee' (Danjong) in 〈The King's Warden〉, which has led to reactions of 'the reincarnation of Danjong'.

Park Ji-hoon began his career as a child actor at the age of 8, playing the role of a salt merchant in 〈Jumong〉. He revealed, "At that time, I saw someone expressing anger on TV and thought I wanted to do that too." However, he also mentioned, "In middle school, after watching popping videos, I thought, 'I have to do this for sure.' So I researched popping even during class. I was really into it," explaining the reason for his career shift from child actor to idol. Reflecting on his experience in 〈Produce 101〉 Season 2, which was the opportunity that made him known, he said, "I just thought I wanted to make my presence known, but once I was out there, I wanted to try something. That's how I ended up doing 'Wink'."

The movie 〈The King's Warden〉 featuring Park Ji-hoon is currently showing in theaters.
