[News] Kim Hyun Joong Shows his Acting Passion in City Conquest
A photo of Kim Hyun Joong carefully monitoring his scenes on the set of "City Conquest" has been revealed in KEYEAST's press release Tuesday.
The officials noted in the statement that Kim Hyun Joong is being praised among the staffs for always paying extra attention to his motions and practicing his action scenes with opposite actors before going into each shooting.
"To build his image as a strong independent character named Baek Mir, Kim Hyun Joong has thrown off his pretty-boy image and has been trying to give off a manly scent in "City Conquest," the officials said.
The TV adaptation of the comic of the same name by Shin Hyung-bin will center around Baek Mir going through difficulties in life as an orphan. Adding more big names to the already impressive roster, Actress Jung Yu-mi and actor Nam Goong-min are co-starring in the melodrama.
In the meantime, "City Conquest" crew has returned from shooting in Japan and is in negotiation with local broadcasting firms to decide which channel will air the new action drama.
