Actor Kim Sung-chul (33) expressed his feelings about his exposure to Jeolla.

Kim Sung-chul met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 30th and interviewed Netflix's original series 'Hell 2' (written by Choi Kyu-seok, directed by Yeon Sang-ho).

Kim Sung-chul made headlines when he was exposed to Jeolla after his revival in 'Hell 2'. He was under a lot of pressure. There's nothing we can do about it, and we have to take it off. So I also thought if I should work out my buttocks hard. But I worked out a lot, so I cut a lot. I lost all my muscles and I lost all my weight. Everyone says they made their bodies, but I only went on a diet. I didn't try to work out separately. I need to show my exhaustion I tried to make my body as fluffy as possible."



Kim Seong-cheol has been managing his diet for about five months and making a body that fits his character. He "It wasn't easy. At that time, I went running as soon as my daily life opened my eyes, and in the morning, I did aerobic exercise on an empty stomach, did a schedule, and continued my diet. I rarely eat on the set. When I play Jung Jin-soo, I don't have an appetite. It wasn't too difficult because I didn't have a desire to eat"I lost about 10kg at that time. More than now. At that time, I lost about 8kg, and there is a difference of about 10kg from now."

Even the still cut of the scene Kim Sung-chul exposed was used as the only pre-released still cut of 'Hell 2' for several months. Kim Seong-cheol "I hated the steal so much. The exposure is embarrassing. If you look at the video, you can see that character took it off, but the first still is that, so I thought, "I'm in trouble." Even that still hasn't been released for about six months other than that. 'Is there no definite number. Are there any clothes on?' It was intense, and the picture was the scene where Jung Jin-soo was revived, but I thought it would have been inevitable because it was an important point in season 2. I didn't have many options.'



The work tells the story of Sodo's lawyer Min Hye-jin, Sajinnihoe, and arrowhead forces in a world that has become more confused by the continuous notice of hell. The release of season 2 following season 1 drew attention from viewers. In particular, Kim Sung-chul was evaluated by the public when he played Jeong Jin-soo, the chairman of the Saejin Council, played by Yoo Ah-in in season 1.

Season 2 of 'Hell' draws attention as it is receiving enthusiastic reviews from domestic as well as foreign media and viewers. 'Hell'Season 2 reached 1,700,000 viewers (viewing time divided by the total running time of the work) in three days after its release, ranking first in the domestic TOP 10 series as well as fifth in the global TOP 10 series (non-English).
