SF9 Rowoon Talks About His New Role in 'The King's Affection' and Synergy With Co-Star Park Eun Bin
SF9 Rowoon challenges himself with a new historical romance drama "The King's Affection" alongside "Hello, My Twenties!" star Park Eun Bin.
Rowoon plays Jeong Ji Woon, the teacher of crown prince Lee Hwi (Park Eun Bin). He is one of the brightest and most ferocious men in the palace.
The idol actor described his character as "a friend like a feather is clouds," he reasoned, "It looks clear on the outside, but there is a lot of rain inside", signifying Ji Woon's enigmatic emotions behind his cheery personality.
In addition to his character, the point that Rowoon is also looking forward to seeing is his chemistry together with co-star Park Eun Bin.
"Lee Hwi keeps his distance to protect himself and his hidden secret. On the other hand, Ji Woon has wounds but he keeps people by his side," Rowoon said.
He also shared his work experience with the actress, "Park Eun Bin and I talk a lot with each other on the set. Sharing ideas and opinions on how to improve more has become our daily routine every moment of every day."
Rowoon also encouraged the potential viewers, saying, "Please look forward to seeing the court romance and chemistry of the "HwiWoon Couple" (Lee Hwi and Ji Woon) that Park Eun Bin and I built together."
