On the 18th, Song Seung-heon met with Celeb Media at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, and talked about the Netflix original series "Black Knight" (director Cho Eui-seok).

"Black Knight" depicts what happens on the Korean Peninsula of the future, where people cannot live without oxygen respirators due to extreme air pollution, and the legendary courier '5-8' and refugee Sa-wol against a group of thousand who dominate the new world.

Song Seung-heon transformed into villain Ryoo Seok in the drama. Ryoo Seok is the only successor of the Cheonmyeong Group, which rules the world with oxygen as a weapon in a chaotic world where he cannot live without an oxygen respirator.

Regarding the villain challenge, Song Seung-heon said, "I'm not used to it either", adding, "If we have to divide the dichotomy between good and evil, Ryoo Seok is a person close to evil. I wasn't worried about how I would look as the villain named Ryoo Seok", he said.

"I was thirsty for such a character. If I had concerns about how to watch it, I wouldn't have done the movie "Obsessed" in the past. There was and still is a desire for a new character. Fortunately, there were many people who liked it. It was fun for me, too", he added.

A total of six episodes of "Black Knight" were released on the 12th.
