Actor Go Youn-jung has confirmed her upcoming projects, spanning both a series and a film.

In the Disney+ original series "Moving Season 2," she will continue the story of Jang Hee-soo, a character who was beloved in the first season. Additionally, she is set to showcase a new side of her action acting in the film "Nambeol," the directorial debut of cinematographer Lee Mo-gae.

According to her agency, AAP, Go Youn-jung is currently undergoing training in action and horseback riding for "Nambeol." She is also continuing her preparations to convincingly portray the movements and action sequences of Jang Hee-soo in "Moving Season 2."

The film "Nambeol" is a hard-boiled martial arts action story about nine warriors of varying skills and social classes in the early Joseon dynasty who head to Tsushima Island to rescue captives kidnapped by Japanese raiders. Go Youn-jung plays Aeryeong, a character who loses her family to a raid by Japanese raiders and throws herself into the battlefield to save her younger brother, who is being held captive on Tsushima Island. Aeryeong is a character who carries both the pain of loss and a determined purpose.

Go Youn-jung plans to delicately portray the process by which the character's desperation translates into action, showcasing a different charm from her previous roles. Through her preparation, including action and horseback riding, she aims to concretely realize the movements and survival instincts of Aeryeong, who is thrust into the battlefields of the Joseon dynasty.

Unlike Aeryeong, whom she is introducing for the first time in "Nambeol," she will return as Jang Hee-soo in "Moving Season 2" to depict the growth and changes of the character with greater depth. "Moving Season 2" is a human action series where superpowered individuals, who have returned to their daily lives after the Jeongwon High School incident, face new crises and fight once again to protect their loved ones.

Jang Hee-soo, played by Go Youn-jung, is a character who possesses both warmth and strength. Go Youn-jung plans to once again unfold the inner world of Jang Hee-soo, who has continuously made choices and grown while protecting her family and friends, through her signature calm and restrained emotional acting.

In the second season, she is expected to show the changes and growth of Jang Hee-soo as she faces crises, while also leading the character's emotions and movements at the center of an expanded human action narrative.
