JAKARTA - Kingdom: Ashin of the North is a special episode of Netflix's hit series, Kingdom. This episode tells the story of Ashin's character who was seen at the end of the last episode of the second season.
Jun Ji Hyun who played the character Ashin was a surprise to the audience. He admitted to getting questions after his appearance in the second season of Kingdom.
“After I appeared at the end of season two, I got a lot of questions like “Why are you there?” When I read the script for 'Ashin of the North', I thought the world of Kingdom would expand,” Jun Ji Hyun said at a virtual press conference attended by VOI, Tuesday, July 20.
Jun Ji Hyun also has a reason why she joined Kingdom and also writer Kim Eun Hee.
"I met (Kim Eun Hee) and I said I'm a fan and I want to appear either as a zombie or a small role," said Jun Ji Hyun.
Instead of being a zombie, Jun Ji Hyun gets the character Ashin, a unique role that opens up another space in the Kingdom series.
“I can doubt the offer because it's a zombie genre project but I think 'Kingdom' is a genre in itself,” he said.
Known to love sports, Jun Ji Hyun strengthens her skills by practicing arrows. “Ashin doesn't have a lot of action scenes. He fought the zombies with one arrow. I learned archery but it wasn't difficult."
Besides Jun Ji Hyun, Kingdom: Ashin of the North is played by Park Byun Eun, Kim Roe Ha, Goo Gyo Hwan, and Kim Si Ah.
Kingdom: Ashin of the North will release on July 23 on Netflix.
