3. Jung Sung Il is a "nice bastard."
According to "The Glory" screenwriter Kim Eun Sook, Jung Sung Il is a kind hearted punk due to the actor's duality.
The screenwriter reasoned that Jung Sung Il could be coldhearted and mean but he can switch back to being nice without any hassle.
Kim Eun Sook also added that it was one of the reasons why she handpicked the actor for his role as Ha Do Young.
In particular, Jung Sung Il also played the role of an indifferent and overbearing husband to Shin Min Ah in the life drama "Our Blues."
Despite the high praises for his acting performances, Jung Sung Il remains humble, saying that he's up for a challenge even if certain roles intimidate him.
On the other hand, the actor wishes to play "unhinged" and psychotic characters in the future like Namgoong Min's roles in his dramas "Remember: War of the Son" and "The Girl Who Sees Smells."
