Brilliant, surprising ordinariness in earnestness: “The Days” Ji Chang Wook
“The Days” which was loved by critics and audiences during its first run last year was exceptionally lucky with awards. Ji Chang Wook who acted as Mu-Yeong also won the Best Male Newcomer award at The 7th Musical Awards. The free-spirited Mu-Yeong who possesses the best abilities of a presidential bodyguard is placed in the centre of a mystery in the show. Ji Chang Wook boasts that he is 100% synchronized with Mu-Yeong and gave a perfect portrayal of Mu-Yeong as though he was wearing his own clothes. With that, he ascends the stage again for this year’s re-run. “Because ‘The Days’ is a show that he has great attachment to,” he readily decided to star in it. “An actor is not a special person but an ordinary person” — this thought of his makes him shine even brighter on the musical stage where he gets along and works together with various people.

Ji Chang Wook revealed his frank thoughts about the controversy of historical distortion surrounding “Empress Ki”.
The Mon-Tues MBC drama “Empress Ki” which concluded last month, maintained its number 1 position in its timeslot throughout its airing with high viewership, and was also a hot topic of discussion. Before its airing, the controversy over historical distortion which sparked concerns from many people was quelled somewhat by emphasizing the show as a faction sageuk. The show then won over the hearts of many with its exciting story.
In a recent interview, Ji Chang Wook revealed the sense of responsibility he felt as an actor amid the controversy.
Set against the streets of Hong Kong, BNT International has released its exclusive interview and photoshoot with Ji Chang Wook in the city known as the Pearl of the Orient after revealing a very drool-worthy and satisfying teaser video. This translation is a combination of two separate articles.
Within the short period of time spent working with an actor, the attitude you see may only be a very small part of his true self, but at the very least, it still paints a picture of his appearance in the future. With that in mind, in order to have a high quality photo shoot and interview, Ji Chang Wook is an actor who even possesses the ability to remove the need for any unnecessary descriptions.
Ji Chang Wook has been flooded with many love calls not just locally but also from the Greater China region. But he is humble. Even as he wears thick autumn and winter clothing in the 33°C heat, his attitude towards the staff is unlike that of a star, and he is both sincere and earnest. Under the stifling hot weather in Hong Kong without even a small fan to keep cool, he still did everything that was required of him.
