K-drama fans and netizens were all taken aback upon seeing the new image of Jin Goo in his upcoming drama “The Auditors”
Gaining attention with his supporting role in “Descendants of the Sun”, Jin Goo is finally making his comeback on the small screen through “The Auditors” after many years. In the drama, he plays Hwang Dae-young, the vice president of JU Construction. He is the youngest child of JU Construction’s founder who has a unique personality and often causes trouble.
Dae-woong starts working at JU Constructions as a normal employee then works hard to become the vice precedence. Experiencing the work of people in lower positions, Dae-woong knows very well the difficulties his employees are facing so he always tries to help them.
Knowing the description of Jin Goo’s character, many thought he would appear as a handsome and powerful boss. However, the actor shocked everyone with an unexpected image in the still cuts of the drama. In particular, the actor wears a nice suit but his hair is long enough to reach his shoulders and curly. This might have been the producer’s effort to emphasize the character’s rebellious personality, however, many K-drama fans expressed disappointment with the actor’s image.
In response to the photos uploaded by the production team, many viewers said that they couldn’t recognize Jin Goo they saw 8 years ago in “Descendants of the Sun” while some were curious about what he would show in the drama with this character. Some commented, “What? He’s Jin Goo?”, “Give me Seo Dae-young back (Seo Dae-young is Jin Goo’s character in ‘Descendants of the Sun’”, “I thought it was some other ajusshi, not Jin Goo. Who made him grow his hair?”, “Please cut your hair. I don’t understand why he has to grow his hair for such a character?”, etc.
Born in 1980, Jin Goo has been acting for 21 years. Despite his solid acting skills and hard work, the actor only gained recognition from the public after appearing in “Descendants of the Sun”. While Song Joong-ki acted more enthusiastically after the success of “Descendants of the Sun”, Jin Goo decided to go slowly. He took on several leading roles but did not carry out many promotions. Moreover, he tends to choose scripts with heavy stories that are not easy for everyone to enjoy.
