In the interview following the photo shoot, the actor talked about being in the military and becoming an editor of a magazine.

Regarding his time in the military, he said, “It was a time I spent preparing for the next part of my life. After having continuously worked on productions without a break, I was able to look back at myself with ease while working at regular hours. It was an important time to reorganize myself as an actor.”

Jung Il Woo added, “[While preparing for ‘KRIBBIT’ as an editor] the people around me mostly said, ‘That sounds fun.’ I think there isn’t a difference between being an actor and being an editor in that I have to create good content with many people. However, I am making an effort to treat the two jobs differently, since one is about ‘being shown’ and the other is about ‘showing.'”
