Ji Chang-wook will make the most drastic transformation in filmography history by introducing a new style that has not been seen before through the Disney+ (plus) original series "Gangnam B-Side", which will be released for the first time on November 6th.

"Gangnam B-Side" is a crime movie about a police officer, a troubleshooter in the mainstream world, and a prosecutor chasing a black connection as a team.

Ji Chang-wook plays the role of Yoon Gil-ho, an outlaw who dominates the Gangnam area in the drama and a mysterious broker who becomes a suspect himself and shows his presence that overwhelms the eyes just by appearing. He has survived alone without anyone's help in the back alleys of the colorful cities, the darkest places, and creates tension by blowing cold air with an expressionless face and eyes.

Ji Chang-wook maximized Yoon Gil-ho's character with strong visuals using fur jackets and colorful accessories with long hair. Among them, the scars on his face draw attention. "I spent a lot of time dressing up for wounds every filming", Ji Chang-wook said, adding, "Hairstyles, costumes, earrings, and tattoos were important, but the wounds on my face were the most important things. Yoon Gil-ho has rarely shown a clean face", he said. "I thought it was the biggest device that could imply what kind of life the character has lived", adding to the curiosity about Yoon Gil-ho's hidden story, which would have lived every day like thin ice.

In addition, Ji Chang-wook said of Yoon Gil-ho, "I am a person whose boundaries are clear between my people and those who are not my people", adding, "I focused on the movement of each scene because I am a person who expresses it with eyes and actions rather than lines, and it was another new challenge".

Cho Woo-jin, who worked with Ji Chang-wook once again following his previous work, said, "I felt he was upgraded than before, and that he became wider and deeper", adding, "You will see an expanded version of Ji Chang-wook's charm".

"Gangnam B-Side" will be released exclusively on Disney+ on November 6th.
