Speaking to Rado Ambassador and Korean superstar, Ji Chang-wook.

Renowned South Korean actor and musical star Ji Chang-wook has recently been appointed as the Brand Ambassador for Rado, a Swiss watch brand celebrated for its innovative design and use of high-tech ceramic materials. He is truly a household name both in South Korea and internationally and began his glittering acting career at the age of 20. He gained widespread fame for his role as a Korean-American speed skater in the 2010 TV series "Smile Again," which aired on prime time for 159 episodes. The award-winning actor has portrayed a diverse array of characters in various contemporary and historical settings across films, TV shows, and web series. He is particularly known for his role as Emperor Ta Hwan in the Kdrama "Empress Ki" and has captivated audiences in romantic comedy series such as "Backstreet Rookie" and "Lovestruck in the City." His fame further escalated with his appearance in the Netflix hit "The Sound of Magic." In addition to his acting career, Ji Chang-wook is also active in musical theater and has been involved in music videos and soundtrack recordings.
Ji Chang-wook comments, "I have always been interested in Swiss watches, especially in unique designs and special materials, and I&rsquo;m very happy to star in my new role as Brand Ambassador for Rado. The Captain Cook is such a beautiful watch, I look forward to wearing it whenever I can.&rdquo;
In his role as Rado's Brand Ambassador, Ji Chang-wook showcases the brand's Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Skeleton watch. This timepiece is part of the Captain Cook collection and features the innovative Rado automatic R808 skeleton movement, highlighted by its unique design and multi-toned components. The watch is also equipped with an anti-magnetic NivachronTM hairspring and offers a view of the intricate mechanical movement through a transparent sapphire crystal back. Ji joins Rado's global family of brand ambassadors, which includes actors, sports figures, and TV personalities known for their trailblazing spirit. Together, they inspire audiences worldwide to embrace innovation and excellence, encapsulated in the motto &ldquo;Feel It,&rdquo; which is a guiding principle for every watch created by Rado.

As parting words before he left Malaysia, Ji Chang-wook said, &ldquo;We knew that it was going to be a great event, but I don&rsquo;t think any of us realized how many people would show up. Everyone here in Kuala Lumpur gave me an amazing welcome and I look forward to coming back when I have more time. By the way, it was such a pleasure to be here with Adrian and the entire Rado team. I love the new watch!&rdquo;
