Kim Kang Woo Rises From Politician Fighting For Survival To Powerful King In “The Great King Munmu”

The upcoming drama “The Great King Munmu” has unveiled new stills featuring Kim Kang Woo as Kim Chun Chu!

Directed by Kim Yeong Jo of “Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth,” “The Great King Munmu” follows the tale of how the small kingdom of Silla overcame the stronger states of Goguryeo, Baekje, and the Tang dynasty of China to unify the Three Kingdoms.

Kim Kang Woo plays Kim Chun Chu, a shrewd strategist with exceptional diplomatic skills and political savvy. As the grandson of the deposed King Jinji, Kim Chun Chu has long faced opposition from the sacred-bone aristocracy. When Silla falls into a desperate crisis after Daeya Fortress is captured by Baekje, he steps into the political arena in earnest.

Kim Chun Chu’s guiding belief is, “Survival in the present is victory in the future.” Rather than simply weathering the immediate crisis, he seeks to secure Silla’s survival on his own terms, gradually expanding his influence through sharp judgment and a bold, risk-taking nature.

Eventually, Kim Chun Chu becomes the first person from the true-bone class to ascend the throne, becoming King Taejong Muyeol, Silla’s 29th king. From a politician fighting to keep his country alive, he grows into a leader with a far greater ambition: the unification of the Three Kingdoms. His journey toward this monumental goal will form a central part of “The Great King Munmu.”

The newly released stills capture Kim Chun Chu’s fierce gaze and commanding presence, reflecting his unwavering determination to overcome the turmoil of his era.

From chaotic battlefields to tense diplomatic encounters where his life hangs in the balance, Kim Chun Chu remains composed even in the most dangerous situations.

More than a politician seeking power, Kim Chun Chu is a shrewd strategist who steps onto the front lines of diplomacy with the fate of Silla on his shoulders. His sharp judgment, unwavering resolve, and exceptional ability to communicate allow him to navigate the turbulent political landscape and steadily expand his influence, raising anticipation for the pivotal role he will play in Silla’s fight for survival.

“The Great King Munmu” is set to premiere on November 14 at 9:20 p.m. KST.

Watch: Kim Ji Yeon, Park Seo Ham, And More Showcase Powerful Chemistry At Script Reading For New Drama “Dive Into You”

Upcoming drama “Dive into You” has released photos and a video from its script reading session!

“Dive into You” is a soul-swapping fantasy romance that tells the story of a top actress who, after an accident causes her soul to swap with her twin brother’s, travels back to the past and struggles to prevent the death of her first love.

The script reading session brought together director So Jae Hyun, writers Kim Bo Geum and Lee On, and the ensemble cast, all of whom convened to begin their collaborative project.

First, Kim Ji Yeon expressed the emotionless facets of her character, top star Yoon Ha Na—who suffers from emotional blunting—through the modulation of her voice. At the same time, when acting out the situation where she has crash-landed into the past while inhabiting her twin brother’s body, she used a boisterous tone different from her current-day self, raising anticipation for the drama’s body swap premise.

Park Seo Ham, who takes on the role of Jung Woo Jae, Yoon Ha Na’s first love, portrayed the character’s cautious personality through the depth of his gaze. He adjusted his emotional tone to match the passage of time, effectively foreshadowing the character Jung Woo Jae’s growth process through his lines alone.

Jang Se Hyuk, who plays Yoon Ha Na’s twin brother Yoon Ha Ru, displayed his character’s bright energy and mischievous charm as the “idol of the judo world.” He also perfectly captured the essence of a high school girl with lively gestures once his soul was swapped with Yoon Ha Na’s.

Moon Seung You added fiery energy to the set by portraying the unhesitating side of Seo Ye Rang, a character who is Yoon Ha Na’s senior and Yoon Ha Ru’s lover. As the siblings’ biggest supporter and a businesswoman, she displayed cool-headed charisma, raising anticipation for her character’s unique appeal.

Kang Dong Won Shows Off Powerful Dance Moves As An Idol Group’s Dance Machine In “Wild Sing”

Upcoming film “Wild Sing” has unveiled new stills featuring Kang Dong Won!

On May 12, the production team released stills of Kang Dong Won as Hyun Woo, the leader and dance machine of the co-ed dance group TRIANGLE on stage.

“Wild Sing” is a comedy movie that follows the story of TRIANGLE, a once-popular co-ed trio that fell into obscurity after an unfortunate incident. The film depicts their chaotic journey as they attempt to reunite and make a comeback.

The standout feature in the newly released stills is Kang Dong Won’s bold styling. He effortlessly pulls off oversized wide-leg pants inspired by the street fashion trend of the early 2000s, along with a blunt bob with highlighted streaks.

In addition to Hyun Woo pulling off popular accessories from the era, including goggles on his head and gloves on his hands, his intense gaze and striking physique show why his character is a “fan magnet.”

Kang Dong Won’s transformation goes beyond his appearance. The production team shared that he completed about five months of intensive choreography training to fully portray his character.

In one still, Kang Dong Won shows fluid movements, as well as a high-difficulty “freeze” pose that requires him to support his body with one hand.

Choreographer Yang Wook, who worked on the performance, praised him, saying, “He understands the appeal of dance precisely. Thanks to his commanding physique, he has an outstanding ability to express movement with just subtle touches.”

At a previous production briefing, Kang Dong Won shared a humble reflection, saying, “After preparing for it myself, I realized how amazing idols are, and I came to respect them.”

“Wild Sing” is set to hit theaters on June 3.
