Actor Joo Ji-hoon has shared behind-the-scenes photos while communicating with fans amidst the success of ‘Trauma Center’.
On the 31st, Joo Ji-hoon posted several photos on his SNS along with a hospital emoji. This post comes about a month after his last post on January 6, capturing moments from the filming of the globally hit Netflix original series ‘Trauma Center’.
In the released photos, Joo Ji-hoon is seen in an all-black suit, posing against a doctor helicopter at the helicopter takeoff and landing site.
With his eyes closed, he creates a calm atmosphere that reminds viewers of the intense presence of his character, genius surgeon Baek Kang-hyuk. In another photo, he draws attention by posing with co-stars Choo Young-woo and Kim Eui-sung in front of the doctor helicopter, smiling leisurely.
Since its release on the 24th, ‘Trauma Center’ has quickly made waves in the global market. According to the OTT ranking site FlixPatrol, as of the 30th, ‘Trauma Center’ ranked 2nd in Netflix's Global TV Shows TOP 10. Moreover, it surpassed ‘Squid Game Season 2’, which has garnered even more attention for its popularity. It is particularly gaining traction not only in Korea but also in Asia and South America, emerging as another success story for Netflix original content.
The drama is based on a popular webtoon of the same name and tells the story of Baek Kang-hyuk (played by Joo Ji-hoon), a surgeon who has traversed battlefields, who is appointed to rebuild a previously ineffective trauma team. The gripping story set in a tense medical environment, along with the powerful performances of the cast including Joo Ji-hoon, leaves a deep impression on viewers.
Fans are responding with comments like “Joo Ji-hoon’s acting is insane,” “This is a realistic medical drama,” and “The combination of Joo Ji-hoon, Choo Young-woo, and Kim Eui-sung is the best,” showing their enthusiastic support for the work and the actors.
Attention is focused on whether ‘Trauma Center’ can establish itself as another global hit following the ‘Squid Game’ syndrome.
