From his working relationship with the cast to his experience playing Jung Ki Chul, Wi Ha Joon revealed that he had to smoke to play the villain role.

According to him, it is one of the most challenging parts of "The Worst of Evil" because he is a non-smoker and had to learn it for the drama.

"In the past, I started doing it because of movies, but since there are a lot of smoking scenes this time, I might become addicted again," he recalled, adding, "If you continue to smoke, it will only be uncomfortable at first, but later it may become a habit."

Thankfully, some of his smoking scenes were reduced, and for that, Wi Ha Joon made a promise to himself.

"Never smoke unless you are a real god, even if you are drunk," he said, but as of now, he is proud that he did it for "The Worst of Evil."

After his K-drama with Ji Chang Wook, Wi Ha Joon is set to headline a new drama, "Gyeongseong Creature," with Park Seo Joon and Han So Hee.
