Get ready, drama fans! Our beloved actor Jang Ki Yong is making a grand return to the small screen after a three-year hiatus.

On April 2, the production presentation of JTBC’s new weekend drama ‘I’m Not a Hero’ took place at the Stanford Hotel in Seoul. The star-studded event saw the presence of Jang Ki Yong, Chun Woo Hee, Suhyun, Park So Yi, and director Jo Hyun Tak.

‘I’m Not a Hero’ is a webtoon-based series that tells the gripping tale of a man with extraordinary abilities who finally saves his destined woman, a feat no one else could accomplish. Jang Ki Yong will be playing the role of Bok Gyu, a man who loses his superpowers due to depression.

This project marks Jang Ki Yong’s much-anticipated comeback after completing his military service and a three-year break from the industry.

After enlisting in August 2021, he returned to civilian life in February last year. His last project was SBS’s ‘Now, We Are Breaking Up,’ where he starred alongside Song Hye Kyo.

Reflecting on his return, Jang Ki Yong shared, “Looking back on my 20s, I was incredibly busy. Taking a break for the first time during the one-and-a-half-year hiatus felt necessary. After completing my military service and immersing myself in this project, I felt a newfound sense of peace.”

Speaking about the changes after his discharge, he remarked, “In the past, if I was chasing something and feeling anxious, preparing for ‘I’m Not a Hero’ as my comeback work allowed me to find peace of mind slowly and sometimes leisurely. This experience has shown me what it truly means to have peace of mind.”

As for why he chose ‘I’m Not a Hero’ as his comeback project, Jang Ki Yong explained, “The script intrigued me, and I found the dynamics of the family members with heroes particularly captivating. Additionally, there was the excitement of delivering unexpected performances, even for myself, upon returning to the screen.”

Mark your calendars, drama lovers! JTBC’s highly-anticipated weekend drama ‘I’m Not a Hero’ is set to premiere on the 4th at 10:30 PM.

Actor Jeong Jae Kwang shared the challenges he faces as a versatile actor, known for his ability to play many different roles.

On the April 4th episode of MBC's "I Live Alone" (episode 590), Jeong Jae Kwang, famous for his role as anesthesiologist Park Kyung Won in "Severe Trauma Center", appeared as a guest and opened up about his career.

During the show, host Jeon Hyun Moo introduced him, saying, "He is most known for his role in 'Severe Trauma Center' and also appeared in 'The Outlaws 2'. He’s been part of many successful projects, but it feels like we’re just now getting to know him."

Later, Key shared his thoughts, saying, "Actors like him are like chameleons, always changing for every role. It makes them feel unfamiliar, even though we should be able to recognize them." Jeon Hyun Moo added, "He plays both good guys and bad guys, doesn’t he?"

Jeong Jae Kwang responded, "That’s exactly why people don’t recognize me," and Park Na Rae seemed surprised, asking, "Don’t people realize that the character from one drama is the same actor in another?"

Jeong Jae Kwang confessed, "It’s a bit disappointing." Despite the struggles of not being easily recognized, he seems to take pride in his ability to transform into different characters, even if it means fans don’t always realize it’s him.
