The first part of 'Gyeongseong Creature', which premiered in December last year, revolved around Jang Tae-sang (Park), the owner of the House of Golden Treasure (Geumokdang), the best pawnshop in Gyeongseong, and Yoon Chae-ok (Han), a specialist in finding missing people who is searching for her mother. Set during the Japanese occupation of Korea, the series saw the destinies of Tae-sang and Chae-ok intertwine. The ten episode series depicts the atrocities done by the Japanese and how in response the Koreans started conducting biological experiments in secret leading to the birth of a monstrous creature.
"As an actor, it's my job to provide different content, stories to the viewers. In that sense, 'Gyeongseong Creature' makes (for) really good content," he shared.
This is not the first time that Korean actors have shown interest in collaborating with Indian artists. Many K-Pop artists have expressed their desire to work in the Bollywood industry in the past. BTS's Jimin and Namjoon had stated that '3 Idiots' is one of their favourite all time movies. EXO's Lay also showed his love for B-town as he starred in the Indo-Chinese movie, âKung Fu Yoga' alongside Hollywood star Jackie Chan and Bollywood beauties Disha Patani and Amyra Dastur. Korean actor Baek Jin Hee has also confessed her admiration for Shah Rukh Khan and has mentioned that she is a die hard âChak De India' fan.
