The combination of actors Jun Ji Hyun and Kang Dong Won has become a reality.
The two will be starring in the new drama “Polaris.” Directed by Kim Hee Won and written by Jung Se Kyung, the drama tells the story of spies who have lost their identities and are sought after by their own kind.
Recently, a drama staff member posted a photo of Jun Ji Hyun and Kang Dong Won on their personal SNS with the caption “Filming for ‘Polaris’ starts on 3/25,” fueling curiosity about their on-screen pairing.
With each project they star in, Jun Ji Hyun and Kang Dong Won have not only garnered high viewership and buzz but also global popularity, continuing their successful streak. The news of the two actors working together in a drama has already sparked immense anticipation from viewers worldwide.
In particular, Jun Ji Hyun’s mother-in-law, designer Lee Jung Woo, captured and shared a post from an entertainment media outlet that announced, “Legendary combination Jun Ji Hyun X Kang Dong Won to meet in a spy melodrama,” expressing excitement with the caption “My favorite combination! Finally,” and emojis of joy, showcasing her unique fan enthusiasm for “Polaris.”
The main attraction of “Polaris” is undeniably Jun Ji Hyun and Kang Dong Won themselves. Moreover, Kang Dong Won’s last drama appearance was about 20 years ago, as he has mainly focused on films. His previous drama project was the SBS drama “Magic,” which ended in 2004.
Similarly, Jun Ji Hyun has not been active in dramas since her appearance in the tvN drama ” Jirisan” in 2021. Therefore, the synergy between her and Kang Dong Won is expected to be greater than any other project they have been a part of.
