Seo In Guk Gains Weight and Had Massive Transformation for Project Wolf Hunting
Unlike most of his K-dramas where Seo In Guk plays the hopeless romantic male lead, the 34-year-old star wowed the public with his different visuals as he plays Jong Du.
In the upcoming movie, Jong Du is among the imprisoned criminals at the Convoy Frontier Titan.
The story depicts the journey of these vicious inmates boarding a ship from the Philippines to South Korea.
Joining them are a team of ace detectives to keep an eye on the special passengers; however, hell breaks loose when an unexpected crisis sets in the middle of the sea.
As seen on teasers released by the film's distribution company, The Contents On, Seo In Guk’s new role harbors tattoos all over his body, making him one of the most feared criminals on the ship.
At the press conference, he hints at what to expect on Project Wolf Hunting, which includes his surprising appearance.
“I had tattoos all over my body, and I naturally squared my shoulders,” he said as obtained by Zapzee, adding that the overall experience “was thrilling.”
In a separate report, Seo In Guk revealed that he purposely gained weight to play Interpol’s most wanted criminal.
He explained that while Jong Du is one of the youngest prisoners, he had to change his visuals that would make him appear as the leader of the pack.
"I tried to increase my size because of the brutality scenario. So I quickly gained weight,” he added.
