Actor Park Sung Woong, famous for his terrifying villain role in the movie 'New World', has made a complete transformation into a "rookie" singer.
On December 27, Park Sung Woong posted on his social media, saying, "Debut +53 days. No Geon greets you. My face isn't a rookie, but please take care of rookie singer No Geon."
In the photos, he wore a clean white suit and vest, showing off his imposing physique. One photo, where he stands on stairs surrounded by "bodyguards," looked less like a music show behind-the-scenes and more like a scene from a gangster movie.
He also shared heartwarming photos with junior artists, including Roy Kim, Jung Seung Hwan, and TXT's Yeonjun, holding drinks with his face printed on them.
Park Sung Woong appeared on the December 26 year-end special of KBS 2TV's 'The Seasons'. He cracked up the audience by parodying his famous 'New World' line ("It's a good day to die"), changing it to, "It's perfect weather to sing."
He also explained the hilarious meaning behind his stage name, No Geon. "The image from 'New World' was so strong even 12 years later, so I decided to face it head-on," he explained. "No Geon, is a Korean abbreviation for 'Singing Gangster,' playing on his tough movie image."
His debut single, "Mister" (Ahjussi), released in November, is a warm ballad dedicated to those enduring the weight of life. It features his signature deep voice and touching lyrics.
