Actor Kim Woo Bin has opened up about his transformation for his role in The Drug King.

At the production presentation for the Netflix film held on September 10 at Lotte Cinema in Konkuk University, Seoul, Kim Woo Bin and co-star Kim Sung Kyun, along with director Kim Joo-hwan, shared details about their roles.

Kim Woo Bin shared, "To make my character look powerful and dominant, I intentionally gained around 8kg. I didn’t want a lean look; instead, I kept some extra weight and even the puffiness in my face to create a specific image."

He added, "I also bleached my hair to fit the role better. As filming went on, I lost some weight and changed my hairstyle again."

The Drug King tells the story of Lee Jeong-do (played by Kim Woo Bin), a martial arts expert who starts working as a close monitor for people with electronic tracking bracelets, following a recommendation from probation officer Kim Seon-min (played by Kim Sung Kyun). The film will be available exclusively on Netflix starting September 13.

There were many moments where my heart raced, but it was an hour where I stayed focused and did my best."
