Meanwhile, Park Jihoon recently achieved the '10-million actor' milestone through the film 'The King's Warden.'\n\nSet to premiere on the 11th next month, the TVING original**'The Legend of Kitchen Soldier'** is a military cooking fantasy drama that follows **Private** **Kang Sungjae**(played by Park Jihoon), who swaps his **rifle** for a **kitchen knife** and an **anmo belt** for an **apron** to become a **legendary** **cook soldier**.\n\nKnown as a military enthusiast, Park Jihoon personally shared behind-the-scenes stories about his role as the cook Kang Sungjae, ranging from **why he chose this project** to**his preparation process** for the role.\n\nRegarding his decision to join this project, **Park Jihoon** said, _\"I've always wanted to wear a**military uniform** in a project at least once. I also wanted to take on a **new challenge**.\"_ He added, _\"I found it particularly interesting that Kang Sungjae is a character that**adapts to an unfamiliar environment** and builds his own place. His process of **gaining trust** within the unit and **forming bonds** with others through his amazing skills was also very **appealing** to me.\"_\n\nPark Jihoon shared that he put in an extra effort to portray Kang Sungjae's character convincingly. He said, _\"To realistically depict the unique role of a cook soldier, I took**cooking lessons** before filming. As I learned dishes one by one, my **knife skills** gradually improved as well.\"_\n\nSince the plote involves Kang Sungjae's character completing quests to level up his cooking skills, a different approach was needed. Regarding this, Park Jihoon explained,_\"I wanted to portray a character who gradually grows over time, using the**'Guardian,'** the fictional character who delivers the quests. I **imagined** as if it really existed in front of me and paid a lot of attention, espexially on my **eye movements** and **facial expressions**.\"_\n\nAs a for the nickname he hopes to gain through the drama, he chose**'Kkang Sungjae.'** Park Jihoon said, _\"The character's nickname in the drama is Kkang Sungjae. For some reason, it made me**feel good** whenever I was called that. The word itself sounds **quite cute** , so I'd like to be called Kkang Sungjae.\"_\n\nRegarding the **key points** to watch, Park Jihoon shared, _\"It would be great if you could follow how Kkang Sungjae**builds relationships** with various characters and **grows** through them, as well as the **chemistry** that develops along the way. I also hope you take interest in the character's growth through the interesting '**Guardian** ' concept.\"_\n\n**'The Legend of Kitchen Soldier'** will premiere on **May 11** at**8.50 PM (KST)** on **TVING** and **tvN.**",
