Kim Woo Bin also brought up his upcoming Netflix series “Black Knight” starring Esom and Kang You Seok.

Based on a webtoon, “Black Knight” takes place in 2071 where pollution has become so severe that people can’t survive without respirators and tells of the story that unfolds as legendary delivery knight 5-8 (Kim Woo Bin), who has extraordinary fighting skills, meets refugee Sa Wol (Kang You Seok), who dreams of becoming a delivery knight because they are the refugees’ only hope. As Korea undergoes desertification, the remaining 1 percent of humanity has become stratified, and delivery knights have come to play an extremely important role in society.

Kim Woo Bin previously played the “top dog of the school” many times, and in “Black Knight,” he will also play someone who is at the top of the ladder. Concerning his role as 5-8, he remarked, “I’ve played the role of the top dog several times, so I’m confident in this area. I’ve been the top dog at school many times, but it’s my first time being the top dog as an adult.”

It’s already been 15 years since Kim Woo Bin debuted, and he has been writing a thank-you diary every day in order to not forget the gratitude he has had since his early days. He explained, “I started writing because I wanted to keep the gratitude for a longer time. I started this career with absolutely nothing. Luckily, from the beginning, I received a lot of bigger things than I had. I didn’t want to forget my appreciation for that.”
