Dressed in a formal suit, the suave man of the hour, Jung Hae In spoke eloquently and professionally on stage. He was in Singapore for his first-ever fan meet organised by Viu Singapore. The event marks Jung Hae In’s 10th anniversary of his acting career while making it the last stop on his tour before returning to Seoul for his encore show.

I was delighted to have met Jung Hae during the press session as he gave us a glimpse into his work ethic, lifestyle and more while meeting his fans in Singapore.

Here are some facts about Jung Hae In that you might not have known!

Very punctual

Jung Hae is always on time for engagements and with his script whenever he is waiting for any drama shoot. It is one of the essential factors when considering future roles as he hopes to convey positivity and happiness to his fans.

Studies for his roles and gets attached to props and outfits

He is sublime in his drama roles and requests a copy of props used for his own keepsakes after filming ends, if he is allowed to. He describes the death scene in Snowdrop (2022) as being most memorable as it was emotionally and physically demanding which he later overcame. As a result, he requested it to be filmed on the final day. During the fan meet, lucky fans receive autographed paper planes and bandages used during scenes!

Works out regularly and follows a diet

Jung Hae recounts doing multiple takes of the running scene in Tune in for Love (2019). It was tiring but he was glad to perfect it. He has a fitness routine as well as a sustainable protein diet to keep himself fit and healthy. Eventually, he relived the memorable experience when he brought his mother to the same location. So sweet!

List of successful Korean dramas and films but…

Jung Hae has an impressive array of projects in the past but he hasn’t dabbled in comedy or romantic comedy-drama and film. He wishes to get started on one in the future when there’s an opportunity. Fans who attended the fan meeting were encouraged to rank his top five Korean dramas based on a selected scene and the results were as follows:

1. Something in The Rain (2018)
2. Snowdrop (2022)
3. D.P. (2021-)
4. While You Were Sleeping (2017)
5. One Spring Night (2019)
6. Prison Playbook (2018)
7. Tune in for Love (2019)
8. Goblin Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (2016)

Values honesty and positivity from his fans

Jung Hae portrays his roles from the heart and is thankful towards his fans who have supported him throughout the years. He values honesty while being an Introverted person. During the fan meet, he read two heartwarming letters submitted by fans through Viu Singapore and he looked slightly sad. A fan once overcame depression after watching his dramas and he felt very touched. He too believes in fate and destiny, therefore he was intrigued reading about a boy crush in one of the letters.

As nervous as he was during the fan meet, Jung Hae In kept his cool as his fans cheered him on. He sang, played games and shared memorable moments of his acting career. Stay tuned as he teased his fans with a possible concert coming up next year.
