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.
