NCT DREAM’s Jisung has shared his thoughts on making his acting debut in Crash 2.
A press conference for ENA’s upcoming Monday-Tuesday drama was held on the afternoon of the 10th at the Stanford Hotel Seoul in Seoul.
Jisung described his character as “a rookie with a cheerful personality and the energy of an enthusiastic go-getter, but who is also carrying hidden pain.”
“This is my first acting role since becoming an adult,” he continued. “I was very nervous and felt a lot of pressure at first, but the cast and directors helped me work through it, and I was able to turn that pressure into excitement. What surprised me was how positive the atmosphere was at the first script reading. I actually felt so good afterward that I became really excited.”
Director Park Jun Woo drew laughs with a quip in response: “I asked Jisung to be on the show because he’s very popular.”
“Even though he had an extremely busy performance schedule as an idol, he went to action school to meet the production team’s expectations,” Park added, explaining why he cast Jisung. “He was always eager to ask questions, showing a great attitude even when he was busy. He was able to handle the action scenes, even the driving, without any trouble.”
Crash 2 features Jisung’s first shirtless scene. “The really funny thing is that I once jokingly told my fans I would show them my abs when I turned 25. And now I’m actually 25,” he said. “I was a little shy filming that scene, but it was fun and meaningful because it immediately shows viewers what kind of person Dae Se is.”
Asked what kind of response he hopes to receive, Jisung said, “
This may sound like a small goal, but when I first started working on the project, I was so nervous that I just hoped I wouldn’t make things difficult for anyone. Thankfully, the people around me helped me a lot, and that gave me the confidence to aim a little higher. I hope that by the time the drama airs, I’ll have done a good enough job to hear some kind words from viewers, the public, and people in the industry.”
Crash 2 follows the traffic crime investigation team at Namgang Police Station as it becomes the Metropolitan Investigation Unit under the National Investigation Headquarters and tackles traffic crime cases across the country.
The series premieres on November 16th at 10 PM.
