    Character Evaluation

    Although Cho Jin Woong has a sturdy figure like a bear, his acting is as light and delicate as a snake. No matter what kind of role it is, it can be digested perfectly.  
    Cho Jin Woong looks tall and mighty, sometimes fierce, sometimes honest, sometimes black, sometimes cute, and is affectionately called "Bear Bear" by fans.  
    Almost every work can leave an extraordinary impression on the audience. In the TV series "The Deep Rooted Tree Museum", he played the highest warrior of North Korea, showing skilled acting skills; in "용의자 X", he became a police officer full of animal instincts. "Min Fan" uses hound-like intuition and calm and thorough logic to expose what can be called a "perfect murder."
