When asked why he chose his next project “The Legend of Kitchen Soldier,” which is set to premiere on May 11, Park Ji Hoon showed his well-known side as a “military enthusiast” among fans, stating that the military setting was both interesting and appealing.

He stated that he was further drawn to the project because it is not just a simple military story but one where the world-building expands through “cooking.” However, he revealed that the biggest reason was simply that “the script was incredibly fun,” raising anticipation for the drama.

Furthermore, reflecting on his experience appearing in several webtoon-based projects such as “Weak Hero Class 1,” “Love Song for Illusion,” “Love Revolution,” and “The Legend of Kitchen Soldier,” Park Ji Hoon shared his serious approach and method for character preparation. He said, “I believe there is a difference between what a webtoon can convey and what can be expressed when it is adapted into video format. That is why I try to grasp the core elements of the character and bring those to life rather than trying to perfectly replicate the webtoon.”
