NCT’s Jisung spoke about his impressions of making his acting debut in the drama Crash 2: Angry Road. On the afternoon of the 10th, a production presentation for ENA’s new drama Crash 2: Angry Road was held at the Stanford Hotel Seoul in Sangam-dong, Seoul. That day, Jisung explained about the character he plays, saying, “He is a rookie with a bright personality and passionate energy, but he is a person who carries pain hidden from others.” He continued, “The first acting job I challenged after becoming an adult was Crash 2. At first, I was very nervous and the pressure was great, but thanks to the seniors and the director easing my tension, I was able to turn that pressure into excitement.” He added, “The atmosphere at the first script reading was very good, and once my nerves were eased, I became even more excited for filming.” Hearing this, director Park Joon-woo joked, “We cast him because Jisung’s popularity was amazing,” drawing laughter. He then praised Jisung, revealing, “Even while handling a busy schedule of performances as an idol, he kept attending action school and worked hard to meet the production team’s expectations. Even when he was busy, he was always asking questions, and his positive attitude was impressive. Thanks to that effort, he was able to handle action scenes, including driving cars, without difficulty.” Jisung, who is seriously showing acting as an actor, previewed a side different from before. It is said that this work also includes a shirtless upper-body scene of Jisung. In response, he said, “It’s very strange, but before, I jokingly told my fans, ‘When I turn about 25, I’ll show my abs.’ And now, I am 25.” He said, “I was a little embarrassed on set, but that scene is one that shows at a glance what kind of person the character Dae-se is, so I felt it was interesting and an important scene.” He also conveyed the members’ reactions. Jisung said, “The members teased me a lot,” and added, “They teased me, saying, ‘Why are you able to work with such (great) seniors?’ but I took that as encouragement. I was happy because I thought this was the kind of exchange only we have.” In response to the question of what kind of evaluation he wants to receive as an actor, Jisung honestly revealed, “It may be a naive thought, but when I first approached the work, I was very nervous, and I was full of the thought, ‘Let’s just make sure I don’t cause trouble for those around me.’ As I received a lot of support from the people around me, I started to become greedy. By the time this drama airs, I would be happy if I could be praised at least once.” He further added, “My goal was to receive good evaluations from fans, general viewers, and people in the industry.” This work is a sequel to Crash, which was popular in 2024, and follows the T.C.I., the traffic crime investigation team of Namgang Police Station, as it is reorganized into a wide-area investigation unit under the National Investigation Headquarters and takes on nationwide traffic crime cases. It will begin airing in Korea at 10 p.m. on the 16th. ・[PHOTO] From Lee Min-ki to NCT’s Jisung, attending the production presentation for the new drama Crash 2: Angry Road ・From Lee Min-ki to NCT’s Jisung... the new drama Crash season 2 will air in Korea in the second half of 2026!
