Jin Goo Dishes on the Reason Behind His Dramatic Transformation in "The Auditors"

Actor Jin Goo comments on his dramatic transformation for his role tvN's The Auditors.

The Auditors is centered around the audit team of JU Construction, where corruption runs rampant. The K-drama follows Shin Cha Il (Shin Ha Kyun), the new leader of JU Construction's audit team who has come to clean out the "rats", eating away at the company, and Gu Han Soo (Lee Jung Ha), known for his kindness and warm-hearted demeanor.  

In the K-drama, actor Jin Goo takes on the role of Hwang Dae Woong, the vice president of JU Construction, and the youngest son of the company's founder.

The actor stated, "As filming progresses, I feel like I'm breathing life into the character of Hwang Dae Woong, and it feels like an even more lovely drama." Elaborating about his character he said, "He may seem arrogant on the outside, but he has a painful past, which makes them seem more human and emotional. This is what drew me to the character even more."

Jin Goo also described Hwang Dae Woong as "a person with perseverance who has navigated through rough paths to protect and lead people with his charisma," emphasizing that this kind of tenacity is the secret to his charisma that dominates the executives and employees of JU Construction.

In particular, after Hwang Dae Woong's stills were unveiled, many commented about the actor's long hair. Jin Goo explained that this hairstyle was "decided upon after long discussions with director Kwon Young Il to showcase the character's distinctiveness." He added, "The long hair and unbuttoned shirt are meant to give the character a free-spirited look, not confined to the [strictness and formality of] office, and to express the flexible charisma that is essential at construction sites where even a small mistake can lead to a major accident."

Jin Goo said, concluding, "For those who feel frustrated and bitter while watching news of corruption and embezzlement, I believe the JU Construction audit team in The Auditors will serve as a refreshing antidote," highlighting the drama's appeal as viewers anticipate its premiere.

The Auditors will premiere on July 6. The K-drama will be available to stream on Viki.
