Lucky Joo Ji-hoon: He took drugs, harmed his girlfriend, and was caught in a sex scandal, but he was easily washed up with Hyun Bin

From " Crash Landing on Love " to "Itaewon Class", the Korean drama market has recently been described as "spring again". On March 13, the second season of "Kingdom", which was called "the strongest zombie Korean drama in history", was rated as "Netflix's masterpiece in Asia" and appeared on the domestic Douban fever several times. Search the list.

Its male protagonist, "Li Cang", played the role of Zhu Zhixun , which once surpassed the "national husband" Hyun Bin . And this is not only because of his superb acting skills in the play, but his road to fame is also quite magical.

Born in a family of commoners, she was independent since childhood, and was elected as a model by relying on borrowed clothes. At the peak of his debut, he was banned due to drug abuse and sex scandals.

has successfully turned around in the Korean entertainment industry, which has zero tolerance for celebrity scandals. Now he has become a first-line male star, competing with Liu Yaren and others on the same stage.

html Zhu Zhixun, who has not been confused for nearly 20 years, has long lost the tenderness and greenness of "fresh meat", and has become calm.

For the past, he sincerely apologizes; for the future, he is full of expectations: is looking for fun in everything, and serious things will pass with a smile.

Became famous at a young age

When he was young, Zhu Zhixun's family was not very good. His family of 8 depended on his father to make a living.

But Zhu Zhixun didn't feel sad because of this. Instead, it developed his independent personality. When he was young, he learned to deliver newspapers and serve dishes to subsidize his family.

Fortunately, my father's work became better and better, and my mother also opened a beauty salon, and the family situation became better and better. But Zhu Zhixun was not lazy because of this, he still insisted not to take a penny from the family.

In high school, Joo Ji-hoon's grades were not good. Under the accidental suggestion of the piano teacher, he was tall and decided to find another way - to apply for a model.

At that time, he could only earn 150,000 won a month part-time, and he borrowed the clothes for his first model resume photo from classmates.

But after the photos were developed, Zhu Zhixun, who had low self-esteem, chose to give up the opportunity to sign up. At the insistence of his friends, he agreed to send two photos to the magazine.

Unexpectedly, Joo Ji Hoon was elected unexpectedly and started his modeling career. With his own efforts, Zhu Zhixun has also successively won many awards in the Korean model circle.

As his reputation in the modeling circle grew, some directors began to extend an olive branch to him.

In 2004, he played a supporting role in the TV drama "The Family of Apou Ting". His acting talent was also quickly developed. Not long after, he was invited to star in the TV series "Palace".

This is a happy thing, but Zhu Zhixun thinks that he is not strong enough, considering that the director is too strict, he wants to refuse.

was still under the persuasion of the broker, and he just agreed. When recalling this performance experience, he said: "I really don't know how to act. At that time, some people said that my acting was too bad, and the environment on the set was very unfamiliar to me, but the jerky and rigid I showed was in line with the role."

However, some people are born with lucky attributes. Although Zhu Zhixun's acting skills are jerky, it can't stop "Palace" from being a hit and becoming popular in Asia.

He himself became popular overnight with his outstanding appearance and tall and straight figure, and he also won the MBC Best New Actor Award.

But after winning the award, his friends always complained about him: pretending to be tender, and wearing a school uniform again. This made Zhu Zhixun very discouraged.

As a result, he carves his acting skills even more, never acting in idol dramas anymore, and instead starts to cooperate with Liu Yaren, Shin Min-ah and others, determined to transform into a real "acting school".

However, the higher you climb, the worse you fall.At that time, Zhu Zhixun, who was very beautiful at that time, began to be a little "floating". As a "desperate Saburo" at work, his private life became more and more chaotic.

In 2008, Joo Ji-hoon was accused of drug use by Yoon Se-hee, a "drug dealer" in the Korean entertainment industry. He refused to admit it at first, but turned himself in after the police found drug-using paraphernalia in his home.

In a short time, Zhu Zhixun changed from the "Prince Gao Lengxin" that everyone loved in South Korea to the "Rat crossing the street" that everyone shouted and beaten. He was also banned by major TV stations, and his career was in tatters.

And in 2016, a group of large-scale photos of unidentified men and women went viral on Korean social platforms. The caption attached to the picture stated that these were pornographic photos from Zhu Zhixun's mobile phone.

However, Keyeast, Joo Ji-hoon's company, stated, "The 'disclosure of private life' has no basis in fact, and we will take tough legal measures against those who spread the rumors and those who spread the rumors first. Some public opinion media reported on will also take tough measures to deal with it.”

On the other hand, Jiaren’s brokerage company also stated: “The rumors about Jiaren circulating on the Internet are not true, and the first to spread the rumors and It was initially reported that the media took legal measures."

Maybe everything came too fast and went too fast like a "drama". This experience made Zhu Zhixun wake up and determined to "return the prodigal son". He began to introspect and concentrate on honing his acting skills.

Comeback

In Korea, people are very strict with the "artistic morals" of celebrities, and they have almost zero tolerance for those who commit crimes. However, Joo Ji-hoon has become an exception.

scandal-ridden was banned, and because of military service disappeared in front of the screen for 3 years. But he soon made a comeback and ushered in another peak of his career.

Many companies have refused to cooperate with Zhu Zhixun due to his criminal record. However, Bae Yongjun , who has a high degree of national recognition in South Korea, chose to sign him to his company. The

company did its best to support him, coupled with his sociability and willingness to work hard, he soon began to appear frequently in the public eye.

During his military service, he and Lee Jun-ki collaborated on the film "Voyage of Life" to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Korean War, which not only won an award, but was also commended by the Minister of Defense.

also challenged one person to play two roles in " I am the king ". Although the box office of the movie was bleak, it was enough to show Zhu Zhixun's determination to come back. After

, he gained a firm foothold in the film industry with the films "Treaty Minister" and "Good Friends".

Although Zhu Zhixun had a lot of bad deeds, he also understands that if he wants to make a breakthrough in the entertainment industry now, appearance is important, but he should speak with strength.

He became more calm and made many good friends. Ha Zhengyu once commented that "he is completely different from what I imagined, and his performance is very classical and reassuring."

In 2016, my friend Kim Nam-gil voluntarily gave up his role in the movie " Asura " and chose to give it to Zhu Zhixun, which shows his good popularity.

He was also greatly moved because of this, and he performed even more vigorously. It is also this role that Zhu Zhixun has been completely whitewashed and has become a representative of the "powerful faction" among the actors.

He played the killer in "Assassination Countless". Originally, the director was worried that the bald character would burden the actors, but Joo Ji-hoon chose to shave his hair without makeup. In the end, the film won him the Best Actor Award from the Korean Film Producers Association, and he wore a wig for a year.

After that, he won the Blue Dragon Award and the Bu Ri Award for his movie "The Secret Service".

In 2018, with his excellent acting skills and excellent works, Zhu Zhixun successfully entered the Chungmuro ​​, which is known as South Korea's "Hollywood", and even insiders joked: 2018 is the year of Zhu Zhixun. If

is labeled as "Chongwu Road" in the Korean entertainment industry, it means that the acting skills and status are at the top of the pyramid, such as Song Kanghao , Cui Minzhi , Liu Yaren and others are among the best.

In 2019, "Kingdom" produced by Netflix made the entire Zhu Zhixun successfully "out of the circle" in Europe, America and other Asian countries.

In the play, he plays a "Prince Son" who cares about the world, and plays against the international superstar Pei Douna . It is said that the male protagonist of this drama initially looked for Song Zhongji , but was rejected by the other party, which made Zhu Zhixun "picked a leak".

Although the second season of "Kingdom" received mixed reviews, it is undeniable that Zhu Zhixun's acting skills have been online. When talking about his role, he once admitted that learning archery was very difficult because of his height, but fortunately he persevered.

He is very sober about people's praise for his acting skills: "Acting, I will never be able to beat it. I was born 13,000 days ago, and I have never won once, at least lost no less than 13,000 times."

Today Zhu Zhixun is more willing to play his favorite roles, and he is more concerned about how to hone his acting skills, rather than paying too much attention to the audience's approval.

"Because there are many negative reviews, it is censured, while positive reviews are the mentality of fans. And it is never possible to be 100% satisfied." From no-one to become popular overnight; from bad deeds to today's male god of Zhongwu Road.He never gave up on himself and never stopped.

There are many people who envy him that he has reached the "peak" of his career, but he denies that, he feels that he still has a long way to go. Because once lost, now will be doubly cherished. For the future, he said: "I just need to insist on being neither arrogant nor impetuous, neither humble nor arrogant, work hard to be myself, be loyal to the present and work hard." finn
