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.”

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.”Kim Seong-hun Regie Jun Ji-hyun Ashin Park Byung-eun Min Chi-rok Kim Si-a Little Ashin Kim Roi-ha Tahab Koo Kyo-hwan Aidagan Jung Suk-won Cho Beom-il Ji Hyun-jun Military Officer Kwon Bum-taek Physician Lee Seung-hui Han Sung-soo Patient Kim Dan-ho Ashin's brother

Die koreanische Halbinsel wird in der Joseon-Dynastie im 14. Jahrhundert von einer geheimnisvollen Epidemie heimgesucht, die Tote wieder zum Leben erwachen lässt und dem Land eine wahre Zombie-Invasion beschert.

Während Kronprinz Lee-chang und sein Team im Norden des Landes unterwegs sind, um den Ursprung der Zombie-Invasion auszumachen, taucht plötzlich eine geheimnisvolle Frau namens Ashin auf. Sie und ihr Vater gehören zu einem Stamm, der sich im Königreich der Joseon niedergelassen hat.

Unterdessen scheint man dem Auslöser der geheimnisvollen Krankheit, die sich im ganzen Land ausbreitet, näherzukommen, dessen Ursprung womöglich eine noch unbekannte Pflanze, die als sagenumwobene Auferstehungspflanze bezeichnet wird, ist, die die Toten wieder auferstehen lässt. Gibt es eine Verbindung zwischen dem Auftauchen der mysteriösen Ashin und der geheimnisvollen Pflanze?

Der Korea-Trend reißt einfach nicht ab und zieht auch Genre-Fans abseits von K-Pop und -Dramen in seinen Bann. Denn eine Sachen beherrschen südkoreanische Filmemacher besonders, die Sprache ist natürlich vom Horror-Subgenre der Zombie-Filme und -Serien.

So erfreut sich auch die Netflix-Serie „Kingdom“ hierzulande bereits seit zwei Staffeln großer Beliebtheit. Kurz bevor es in die dritte Staffel geht, nimmt der Streaming-Riese nun das Serien-Prequel im Filmformat „Kingdom: Ashin of the North“ ins Programm.

Strangely enough, Kingdom is a series that gives me more energy the more I write it, she mentioned, adding, The cast and crew all have great chemistry, and there's so much more to tell. If viewers allow, I would love to see it develop even up to season 10.

Unfortunately, the team is still hush-hush about the official release but shared that it will pick up right where season two ended--which will be about seven years after the devastating plague.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.
