The new OCN drama hero Choi Jin-hyuk was spotted holding a victim child tightly in his arms.

In "Tunnel - Drama", Choi Jin-hyuk takes on the role of detective Park Gwang-ho who went after a criminal in a tunnel in the year 1886 but crossed a line 30 years later to 2017. He then works with Kim Seon-jae (Yoon Hyun-min) and Sin Jay (Lee Yoo-young) to track down the criminal from 30 years ago.

While Choi Jin-hyuk is busy trying to catch the criminal, guilt overwhelms him when he witnesses a man staring absentmindedly at his murdered wife and his child is crying behind him. Choi Jin-hyuk takes the child into his arms and gets teary eyed himself. Although he speaks to the man bluntly, he is guilty that he couldn't do anything about the murderer.

The 'hugging' scene was shot for more than 6 hours. The take that day involved the beginning of the 'happening' and the situation that occurs after it. Despite the cruel weather, Choi Jin-hyuk focused on his script and made everyone around him hold their breaths.

The child he held wasn't an actor but a son of the one of the staff members. During the take, Choi Jin-hyuk caused immense tension on the set but as soon as cameras were off, he would return to being 'the nice man' and fooled around with the child, making sure he stayed warm.
