GOT7's Jinyoung Shares How He Portrays His Character Symbolizing Hope In "The Devil Judge"

GOT7’s Jinyoung revealed his thoughts on his character in tvN’s upcoming drama “The Devil Judge”!

“The Devil Judge” takes place in an alternate-universe dystopian Korea where the entire nation participates in a live broadcast courtroom show. Ji Sung stars as the titular “devil judge” Kang Yo Han. Is he a hero of the people in chaotic times, or is he a devil who wears the mask of the law?

Jinyoung will be playing Kim Ga On, an associate judge at the trial court that leads the live broadcast courtroom show. He’s a figure who pursues upright justice and truth while maintaining his humanity in a dystopian society rampant with greed and corrupt power.

Regarding the charm of “The Devil Judge,” Jinyoung shared, “I think it’s interesting that [Kim Ga On] lives as the only character of hope within the dystopian setting of a ruined world. The fact that he’s a character who can gradually change is fascinating to me.”

Thinking back on the moment when he first learned about Kim Ga On, Jinyoung shared that he initially thought Kim Ga On would be a somewhat poor character who lives in a difficult world. He elaborated, “I also think Ga On could be the person who has the most. In the end, I feel as if a person who moves with their heart rather than material possessions is a person who is happy and rich.”

As a heartwarming and upright person, Kim Ga On will add warmth to the drama. Jinyoung will showcase a wide variety of emotions to create the tension made by Kim Ga On endlessly suspecting the devil judge Kang Yo Han and preventing him from acting alone.

Jinyoung explained, “I hoped for Kim Ga On’s sensitivity to be portrayed in detail. Looking at the early scenes composed of reactions rather than actions, I thought that if I materialize the aspects of Ga On responding to and feeling the words of others in more detail, the character could become more charming.”

Finally, the actor shared, “I’m working hard on creating the drama while hoping that this project becomes one that lights up a small spark in everyone’s chest. You can enjoy a more rich experience if you watch while understanding the world within ‘The Devil Judge’ and knowing the relationships between the characters.”

“The Devil Judge” premieres on July 3 at 9 p.m. KST and will be available on Viki. While you wait, watch a preview here!
