Humans Are More Evil Than Zombies In 'kingdom: Ashin Of The North'
I am a fan of the ‘Kingdom’ series, as well as scriptwriter Kim Eun Hee. When I had the opportunity to meet her privately, I asked her personally if I could appear, even if it was just as a zombie. Because of that, I was grateful for this opportunity. — Jun Ji Hyun
The A-List actress continued with her interview by admitting that she was nervous about joining the cast of such a mega-hit series.
Jun Ji Hyun will be portraying the role of Ashin, who battles many internal pains, but appears strong and dangerous within the series. The scriptwriter of the series complimented the actress for portraying a character who is different from what she may be used to.
K Drama Review
Jun Ji Hyun-sshi is an actress with a wide spectrum. She has been nicknamed the ‘Queen of Romantic Comedies, ’ but she has played dark characters in ‘Assassination’ and ‘Berlin.’ I was worried that she wouldn’t accept the casting offer, but I am grateful that she took on the role of Ashin. — Kim Eun Hee
The actress continued with her interview by hilariously sharing that she didn’t realize there’d be a child actress portraying a young Ashin. Naturally, she began to worry about how she would act out a young child character. However, Jun Ji Hyun revealed her shock upon seeing child actress Kim Si Ah and her incredible portrayal and digestion of a young Ashin.
When I first received the script, I wasn’t informed that there would be a child actress. I thought that I would have to portray the character from start to finish so I felt a little burdened. Not only did I have a hard time thinking about the difficult emotions I’d have to express, but I also wondered if I would be able to pull it off. Seeing such a young actress portraying Ashin and digesting the role was shocking. — Jun Ji Hyun
Kingdom: Ashin Of The North' Trailer Gives A Closer Look At Jun Ji Hyun's Badass Character
! We can’t wait to see Jun Ji Hyun portray Ashin, which everyone will get to see this week on July 23. In the meantime, check out the trailer for Jun Ji Hyun Talks About Filming Action Scenes For “Kingdom: Ashin Of The North” + Why She Chose To Appear In The Series
On July 20, Netflix’s upcoming “Kingdom: Ashin of the North” held an online press conference with director Kim Sung Hoon, writer Kim Eun Hee, and cast members Jun Ji Hyun, Park Byung Eun, Kim Si Ah, Kim Roe Ha, and Goo Gyo Hwan.
“Kingdom: Ashin of the North” is an extension of the second season of the hit Netflix series “Kingdom.” It is a special episode dedicated to Ashin, a character played by Jun Ji Hyun who was briefly seen at the end of the second season. The first two seasons of the zombie series were set in the kingdom of Joseon, but the special episode is set in the frigid northern regions to find the origins of the plague.

Screenwriter Kim Eun Hee said, “I started by thinking about where the resurrection plant came from. I hoped to satiate people’s curiosity about who Ashin was and what had happened up in the northern regions. I thought a lot about the resurrection plant and I investigated a lot of material. The plant has very cold properties, so I became interested in the northern regions, and what would happen if the plant bloomed in a place like that.”
Kim Si Ah plays the younger version of Ashin, while Jun Ji Hyun plays the older version. Park Byung Eun plays Min Chi Rok, a military commander who works with Crown Prince Lee Chang (Joo Ji Hoon) to protect the palace against the zombies. Kim Roe Ha plays Ashin’s father, Tahab, while Goo Gyo Hwan plays Aida Khan, the head of the Pajeowi Tribe, a group of warriors who are threatening the northern border of Joseon.
Jun Ji Hyun said, “After I appeared at the end of season 2, I got a lot of questions like, ‘Why were you there?’ When I read the script for ‘Ashin of the North, ’ I thought that the world of ‘Kingdom’ could undergo infinite expansion. I was really excited to be the start of that.”
Jun Ji Hyun Is A Fan Of 'kingdom' Series
She continued, “Ashin lives on the border and doesn’t belong to any particular side. She lost someone she loved due to an incident. She has experienced persecution and contempt from other people. I was a huge fan of ‘Kingdom’ and writer Kim Eun Hee. I met her at a private event and told her that I was such a fan that I’d love to appear as a zombie or in a small role. She gave me such a big role instead that it’s an honor. I didn’t hesitate when I got the offer because of Kim Eun Hee. I could’ve felt hesitation because it was a zombie genre show, but I think that ‘Kingdom’ itself is its own genre.”
About filming action scenes like archery, she said, “I’m pretty fit in general, I exercise every day, so I was already ready for the challenge. Archery was the most important part of ‘Ashin of the North.’ I practiced with a bow and arrow, but Ashin doesn’t actually have that many action scenes. She gets rid of zombies with a single arrow. So there weren’t as many action scenes as you’d think. It helped me that I had the basic fitness for the role. Other than that, I learned archery, but it wasn’t that difficult.”
About Kim Si Ah, who plays her younger counterpart, Jun Ji Hyun said warmly, “She’s so cute and pretty that I can’t say if she resembles me or not, but she’s a growing rookie actress. After I read the script, I hadn’t yet heard that there would be a child actor, so I was really worried about whether I could pull off Ashin’s entire life story. I couldn’t even imagine portraying some of the emotions that Ashin goes through. But when I saw a young actress like Kim Si Ah pull it off, I was shocked, and took courage from her. I will cheer her on in future.”When the South Korean Joseon-era TV series Kingdom first streamed on Netflix in January 2019, the ferocious and rabid zombies captured the horrified attention of many viewers, perhaps even stealing the spotlight from its main cast Ju Ji-hoon and Bae Doona.

Superstar Jun Ji-hyun, who's also known as Gianna Jun, admitted during a recent interview with the Asia Pacific (APAC) press that she, too, was in awe.
When asked by a reporter if she was afraid of the zombie actors, she laughed as she replied: Not at all. In fact, before we shot the scenes, one of the things I was most excited about was coming face to face with the actors dressed as zombies. When I was on set, I realised how much trouble all the actors went through to present themselves as convincing zombies.
I begged them for photos. I was able to take pictures with the zombie actors and really bragged about them to my friends and family.
