Kim Woo Bin dishes on his thoughts about his new drama "Black Knight" and responds to the public's concern regarding the smoking scene.
The Hallyu star made a bold small screen comeback a year after the success of the star-studded K-drama "Our Blues." From being the Jeju native in the tvN series, Kim Woo Bin transformed into a legendary delivery man, 5-8, in "Black Knight."
As the post apocalptic K-drama garnered global attention, some viewers expressed their concern after Kim Woo Bin was spotted in a scene where he was smoking a cigar.
Viewers thought it might affect the actor's health, especially since he just returned from a 4-year hiatus due to health issues.

The "Black Knight" director previously addressed the viewers' concern and shared that all the smoking scenes are purely CGI. Cho Ui Seok said that smoking is one of 5-8's identities, and it will look "bland" if they remove this detail.
"However, since it was Kim Woo Bin's choice not to smoke, we couldn't make him do so. After a lot of deliberation, the CGI team helped us, and all the smoking scenes were done with special effects," the director explained, as obtained by a news outlet.
