‘Diagnosed with brain aneurysm’ Jung Il-woo, “I’m thankful that I can still work”

Actor Jung Il-woo showed off his various charms, from outrageous to languid, through a pictorial.

Through the pictorial for the April issue of Dazed, Jung Il-woo revealed a pictorial with a very different atmosphere from his usual style, along with bold fashion styling that he had not attempted before in his works.

In the pictorial released this time, Jung Il-woo attracts attention by perfectly executing various concepts, from dandy styling with colorful fur and tight pants to a profound and modern atmosphere that stimulates the freshness of spring.

In particular, it is said that the charismatic and bold poses and warm eyes that added depth of charm revealed a unique atmosphere in each cut, drawing admiration from the on-site staff.

Through the interview that accompanied the pictorial, Jung Il-woo said that he was striking a balance between 'actor Jung Il-woo' and 'human Jung Il-woo' and said, "Studying acting is very helpful in returning to the basics," and chose 'original' as the keyword that defines himself. I picked it.

Jung Il-woo, who had previously been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm, said, “I am truly grateful that I can still work. “If I want to become a better person than I am now, I must not lose my original intention,” he said. “If I am a tree, my fans are a dense forest.” He did not forget his gratitude to his fans, saying, “They are the foundation on which I can take root.”

Jung Il-woo, who played the role of Eun Seon-woo in last year's drama 'Good Job' and skillfully crossed between comedy and investigative dramas, broadened his acting spectrum by breaking the mold of his stereotypical image through his role as homeless man Ki-woo in the movie 'Highway Family'. Jung Il-woo's acting transformation and endless efforts to always reflect on his original intentions and overcome his limitations continue in the pictorial, giving him a fresh charm.

Jung Il-woo, who recently successfully completed his nationwide fan meeting tour in Japan, is currently considering his next work, and will meet audiences in Japan with the movie 'Highway Family' on the 21st of next month.
