Actor Jung Ji-hoon revealed a story about getting scolded by his wife Kim Tae-hee, sending the event into laughter.

On the 31st, the production presentation for Netflix series Bloodhounds Season 2 (hereafter 'Bloodhounds 2') was held. Director Kim Joo-hwan and actors Woo Do-hwan, Lee Sang-yi, and Jung Ji-hoon attended.

Jung Ji-hoon, who plays Baekjeong, the operator of a global illegal boxing league with members worldwide, explained, "He's a man with no allies who turns everyone into enemies within the organization if that's what it takes to get what he wants." He added, "He's a cold-blooded character with no tears, and after discussing the script with the director, I was able to naturally immerse myself in him." Jung also shared a moment when he went overboard with that immersion, drawing laughs.

"I unconsciously acted like Baekjeong at home and got in big trouble with my wife," he said. "After living as that character for a year, it just started to come out naturally." He continued, "Even when I smiled, I had to look scary, and my eyes weren't allowed to smile. Whatever I did, I had to make the other person feel utterly miserable," detailing the role's nuances.

Meanwhile, 'Bloodhounds 2' is an action series about two young boxers who take on the illegal loan-sharking underworld with their bare fists. It premieres on April 3.
