Park Hee-soon's Shocking Senior Transformation in 'Confidenceman KR' After 6 Hours of Makeup

Actor Park Hee-soon is generating buzz with his astonishing transformation into an elderly man in the TV CHOSUN drama ‘Confidenceman KR’.

The episode airing on the 14th will feature Park Hee-soon as James, who perfectly disguises himself as a countryside farmer named Chun Jong-yeop. In a scene, James engages in a playful negotiation with Yoo Myung-han, who expresses his intent to purchase all the paintings James has shown him, suspecting they are linked to a hidden masterpiece.

Suddenly, Yoon Yi-rang and Myung Goo-ho make a dramatic entrance, shocking Yoo Myung-han and adding a twist to the plot. Viewers are left wondering what words from the duo will shake Yoo Myung-han and whether James can maintain his disguise until the end.

For this 'windcatcher trio transformation' scene, Park Hee-soon underwent a makeup process that lasted an impressive six hours. The transformation was so complete that both cast and crew initially failed to recognize him. Emboldened by his newfound anonymity, Park Hee-soon unleashed his comedic timing and vibrant persona, complete with a rustic dialect.

The production team expressed gratitude to Park Hee-soon for his positive attitude despite the lengthy makeup sessions, and to co-stars Park Min-young and Joo Jong-hyuk for their seamless chemistry. They also hinted at further unimaginable plans in the upcoming fourth episode, promising an amazing story.
