Primarily known for his work on the stage, 45-year-old Korean actor Jung Sung-il has seen a meteoric rise in domestic and international recognition after his role as the impeccably dressed Ha Do-yeong in the hit 2022 Netflix series The Glory.
“Han Do grew up in circumstances that led him to be reclusive and prefer solitude,” Jung explained in an interview this week. “He is an individualist who loves animals more than people. I wanted to portray him as an isolated person who doesn’t act for others.”
The series tells the story of a dedicated investigative reporting team as they create the programme Trigger. Han Do joins its veteran leader Oh So-ryong (Kim Hye-soo), assistant director Kang Ki-ho (Ju Jong-hyuk) and writer (Jang Hye-jin).
