Jo In Sun revealed his thoughts at the press conference for the SBS drama "That Winter, The Wind Blows".
March 14, Jo In Sung appeared at a coffee shop in Shinsa-dong, Kangnam-gu for the press conference for the SBS drama "That Winter, The Wind Blows". Jo In Sung stated, "When I was reading the script before deciding to take the role, I thought 'I could do it, I want it' but as I read more and more I began to think, I could be seriously humiliated if I mess anything up."
Regarding his situation, "There were times when I wanted to avoid it. This is a project that I dedicated myself to after a very long time so I was more worried about working on a project that wouldn't embarrass me. When I read the script however, I knew this was big."
Jo In Sung revealed that he asked actress Ko Hyun Jung for advice. They worked together in the 2005 drama "Spring Days" and became closer when Jo In Sung entered the same entertainment company. Jo In Sung added, "I told her, 'I chose the role but I never imagined how hard it would be' and Jo Hyun Jung told me 'What do you want to do?' So I just said, 'I'm too prideful to avoid it but it intimidates me.'"
"Then she told me, 'Did you decide without knowing that it would be hard? I thought you chose it regardless of knowing that.' Then she added, 'Oh Soo is a bad guy. Then you have to act bad. What's making it hard is that you're trying to be nice at the same time.'"
Jo In Sung continued to explain that Ko Hyun Jung told him to let go of trying to win sympathy votes since it will just make him more stressed. He also mentioned that Ko Hyun Jung's advice helped him to organize his thoughts.
Jo In Sung added that he switches 'on' the actor switch when he is filming and turns it off when he is not filming. He stated, "When I turn the switch off, I return to my friends and family and realize that I no longer have to be an actor. Whenever I hear 'cut' I escape my character."
Lastly, Jo In Sung stated, "Every time I work on a project, I realize how important the viewers are. I'm feeling it again this time" and expressed his gratitude for his fans and viewers. He also added, "I am working with full energy on set thanks to all the people who are showing interest and support. I will try my best to deliver an acceptable performance until the end of the drama."
