Cho Jung-seok encountered the fashion magazine ELLE. Filming took place in a detached house full of Korean retro mood using flooring used in the 1940s. The pictorial focused on capturing the serious side of Cho Jung-seok, who is showing a new face as an actor through the unfortunate role of the king of the drama "Captivating the King".

An interview was held after the photo shoot. When asked what he focused on while playing the character Yi In, Cho said, "Yi In is destined to rise to a higher rank even though he does not want to. It was not easy acting to express an existence where he had to be stronger, think one step ahead every time, and doubt anyone. I tried to save small details in each scene. I worked hard to make a clear difference between the days of Prince Han and when I became king", he replied.

When asked if there was anything special about it as it was his fourth historical drama work following "The Face Reader", "The Fatal Encounter", and "The Nokdu Flower", he said, "There is nothing different about the approach. Still, I didn't want to express my lines in a typical way that was considered historical or familiar. I wanted to show a king like Cho Jung-seok". He showed deep affection for the work, "Captivating the King" saying, "I wanted to make it great and show it off as if showing off my footprints".

When asked about his collaboration with Shin Se-kyung, who plays Kang Hee-soo, he praised her, saying, "I think harmony is important as human-to-human, not just acting on the spot", while when asked if he would be an actor again, he said, "I really don't know. I'm happy and sometimes lonely, sometimes it's too much. I feel naked because I have to show myself completely". He also added that he wants to have a good influence on his 4-year-old child.

Meanwhile, Cho Jung-seok is starring in tvN's drama "Captivating the King".
