Nov 13, 2018

SBS’s new drama “The Last Empress” has released stills of Choi Jin Hyuk’s character undergoing training to become an imperial bodyguard.

“The Last Empress” takes place in an alternate reality where modern-day Korea is a constitutional monarchy. Jang Nara plays a young woman who marries into the royal family, Shin Sung Rok plays the emperor, and Choi Jin Hyuk plays a character named Na Wang Shik.

As there are many action scenes in the drama for his character, Choi Jin Hyuk has also been undergoing real-life training to play the bodyguard, exercising between shoots whenever he can and taking action classes.

The production staff stated, “Choi Jin Hyuk puts in an unbelievable amount of work to realistically portray an imperial bodyguard. No matter what scene or sequence, his passion brings energy and heat to ‘The Last Empress.’ He’s an actor you can trust.”
