I don't think of it as the 20th anniversary. I guess it's just been 20 years.

I'm going to do this for exactly 20 more years. Yes. I have to work hard.

But people always need to look to the future; there is no real need to look to the past. We must look ahead.

I am really young. [Snoring] Ah, 22 or 21?

Hey, I thought I wouldn't get old back then, but actually, I wanted to get older. This was when I was

When I weighed just 59 or 60 kg, or around 186 cm, and I hit 190 cm when I was about 33,

The reason I have no choice but to say that is that I walk around while going to castings.

I went to the agency early in the morning at 9.

Back then, there were no iPhones with things like Google Maps. Ah, was it just when it had come out?

But even so, things like Google Maps aren't very well done. You know, those places where they sell newspapers at bus stops or intersections?

It's small. But if you go there, they sell maps. So, with that map and the A4 album given to the agency, if I were you, I would go to the casting audition today in the morning.

You take that, sit down on the street in front of the agency anytime, spread out the map, and decide the order. And since I was walking around all day from 9 am to 6 pm, this was when I was going to the audition for the Dueran job at that office.

It was a morning audition, so I arrived there early in the morning. But it wasn't open yet. So I was sitting on the street in front of it when someone... uh... eyes He said "Hi." So I said "Hi" back. But that person was Chris Bana.

And then I auditioned and got in. I'm so, so young. Ah, that's good.

In our country, designers and models are just beginning to come into the spotlight, and how should we interpret this? I don't know if it will work, but it was truly an era of attempts, translations, and innovation revolutions. Fashion

That side. Ah, I remember now. Back then, wasn't that the show called 'General Idea'—I think that was probably the very first one I wrote?

Is this Mr. Jang Gwang-hyo's? I'm a bit confused.

It's been so long for me, too, that I stood up a lot in the first season. Almost everything. They all stood there, and in the second season, almost all of them stood as main models.

But to think that was already 20 years ago.

Right. You know the name Long Custom, Junji? Junji. Junji belongs to Mr. Jeong-wook. He made that drum in Korea. Soo-yeok and I filmed it together back then.

That was also my first time going to Paris, and when I first went there, it was probably the season before D'Holso. I stood in the style of Ms. Woo Young-mi. Isn't it? Is it after that? Ah, I'm confused.

The timeline is too old

It's small. Oh, can't I just not look at it? Uh, Ms. Woo Young-mi hit it.

Yeonggwang, who likes new things, steps over to become a model for designer Woo Young-mi's show, which is preparing the 13th theory.

Uh, 1600 people. I'm not really sure about that.

Okay, move on. Were you there?

Hey, seriously, all the kids who appeared here are acting in TV shows right now. It's called White Christmas. It's that kind of time.

I told you. So the director said, "Uh, I want to try using all the models."

You didn't audition actors, you only auditioned models. The kids who are models never learned acting even once [snorted] and somehow they all just ended up together.

But seriously, the content was really good. It was fun, right? This

Thanks to that, I'm getting a lot of other roles, and ah, I want to go back.

Right. The is actually really good, better than I thought. Even if it comes out again these days, it's still quite...

It’s an intriguing story, and since it turns the pressure of the CSAT and the pressure of studying into a thriller,

Oh, December 18, 2013, 12 years

Ah 24 Ah, no, wait [Sigh] Ah

The song is so good, I filmed this and then went to the military. [Snort] Use it.

Newbies are really unique. Now that I think about it, they do all the directing on the spot, there's no script, and they just do things like this right here.

Please do this. And back then, after filming like this, the director came over personally and said, "Since we are in this situation right now, you two should act a bit close. You weren't dating yet, but..."

I have a slight crush on you. Try planting something like this and see how it goes. It was kind of that kind of era.

Hey, use YouTube Premium. Oh, this is the Naver team. I thought it was YouTube. Sorry.

This is really one of the works that I remember the most.

Rather than the content of this drama, I can now properly learn acting

And regarding how to approach acting, the director really cared for me at that time.

So they would call me over to their house to practice acting, and before that, I did a lot of supporting and lead roles.

I had been working my way up from supporting roles to lead roles, and when JTBC was launched, I took on my first lead role. I went for a meeting, but...

The director asked the candidate, "Do you want to do this?" I replied, "Yeah, of course I do." He said, "Then you do it." And that was the end of the audition.

It was fun. I enjoyed doing this, and I learned a lot about the medical aspects, and most of the people who come to the Department of Eunkyo

We get a lot of patients bringing in wounds that have burst or need suturing. So last year, we actually did a lot of this.

The teachers came over to watch me or do it for me, so they said I was doing really well compared to them. Besides, this was kind of like a disaster drama.

I had a lot of really fascinating experiences like that.

Even though there was nothing there, when I said "one, two, three," everyone would pretend it was an earthquake.

[Laughs] That was fun too, it was really fun.

I think I practiced a lot back then.

The coach established a system from the beginning where we always gathered early in the morning to practice, so

That's right. Actually, you're not supposed to get a perm, but this character's rigid side, the self-centered side

Recently, if you watch the Chungju Center, you'll see Senior Ji Ji-hoon fighting really hard with the hospital because they're running at a deficit.

That was the kind of character he was.

Back when web dramas were just starting to become popular, the one I filmed Pinoccio a long time ago.

The director contacted me and suggested we shoot this, so it worked out well.

It was fun.

Look at him acting like an adult when he's so young. He'd be the perfect age right now [Laughs] though.

It was when I was young.

Oh my, why are you doing that?

[laugh]

Jo-yeon—no, most of the friends I knew back then—almost

We're all so overwhelmed with work that we don't see each other often; we mostly just meet at events.

It seems like that's exactly how it turns out, to the extent that I see it.

Work is too busy, areas of responsibility are becoming somewhat divided, and everyone has their own personal matters to attend to, so a lot is changing.

Whew.

It's still 9 years ago

[sigh]

He was acting all meticulous and seeing right through everything; at that time, his role was a prosecutor.

I don't know why I always play those kinds of characters. They have a hidden side, and because they went through something bad in the past, I

It seems like it all started from that moment when I thought, "I'm going to get revenge." I wonder why?

Why did the guy choose something like this again from last year?

Damn, I'm going to keep living here and pay off my credit card bills. Ugh, what is this? People trying to get a Jeonse deposit in Seoul think it only takes a year.

So, are you going to live on monthly payments for the rest of your life?

So you do have the intention to live, too.

Ah, but thanks to that wedding, you were able to come this far. Daewon was also so...

It was fun, and I really had a blast filming this. While filming, I did everything at the same time.

The actors, the director, and the production company really liked it. Hmm. [Music] Oh, so the filming is going well. That

I acted out a seemingly accidental expression on set as if I were joking, and it got a good reaction. [Snorting]

What is this?

Congratulations to Kim Young-kwang of Your Wedding for winning the Best New Actor in the Film category at the 5th Baeksang Arts Awards.

Congratulations.

Regarding this, Mr. Hankuk University of Foreign Studies CEO and Director,

I think the Blue Dragons were the first to do that back then. I couldn't receive it there.

I got nominated, and then I went to the Baeksang Awards and got nominated again. I think I went there after filming had finished.

That must have been the case. And then, after it was over, he probably had to go to filming and things like that.

They're going to announce the nominees exactly like this, right? *Ding ding ding*

Then I'll just watch nervously until then, and then with the director, if we win or not, drinking tonight...

I'm going to eat. I was doing this and that, and I didn't hear this.

Ah, uh, I didn't hear Kim Young-hwang. Ah, and then oh, like this [laughter] uh, oh uh. uh. What?

Okay, okay. Okay. How did you do that?

Ah, so that's why you couldn't [snort] at the after-party that day.

Yeah. I think I went to shoot. I went to film. The Baeksang Awards. Yeah. Straight to Pocheon.

That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh, Secretary is ah, the correct 3th stage, six steps, 1

I rubbed my palms together, and it was so cute I couldn't see it.

Ah, the script for this came out late.

I really can't see this scene. [Snoring] If you don't wash your hands, the one thing I remember from that moment just came out.

It was almost the day before, script came out, and we had to film this scene, but the dialogue was too long.

But the set team put the correct handwashing method on that mirror.

Oh, that's exactly the same line. I remember seeing that and saying the line like that [snorting].

They look really healthy. It's amazing how both of them can't sleep at all every day.

And even during rehearsal, you stay like this, but when it's red action, open your eyes. [Laughs]

[laugh]

Hey, but I think this is the most pitiful one out of all the ones I took. [Laughs]

This was back when my nieces and nephews were really small.

You know what? They've all grown up now,

but back when I was scrambling to prepare things like aliens—back when that wasn't even a trend in our country—I was just...

I searched for it and found it, but actually, I felt that way of despair too.

They kept saying I was sleepy and didn't want to watch it.

Back when I was doing a lot of Liga-eum exercises, my trainer worked out for an hour every day.

They made me do over a dozen hours and told me to ride this uphill for 40 minutes.

This is the time of my life when my stamina is at its best.

At this time, I don't get drunk easily.

It's kind of like wearing only underwear.

Hey, but think about it. These days, people who run, you know, they all run in just underwear. Like those rankings. But

Did I say that too early? [Laughs] You're in really good shape.

So, this was really good back then.

My body was better before, but I'm thinking of taking a slight break from working out. I want to stop now, but let's try this.

He was dragged away, and he's in pain as if he has to stay in that body forever. Let's stop watching.

It's not quite that extreme. I've started exercising again recently and am setting some goals, but I have to do it out of necessity.

I think it's possible, and I believe I need to do it for my health. My current goal is to grow it just a little bit more. Just a little.

I want to take a lot less with me.

I want to go somewhere.

Oh my god, it was really tough.

Ah, but you can talk to yourself, you know. Just do it by yourself. Because earlier, I mean, my hair friend kept styling my hair, but it kept getting messed up.

[laugh]

My hair is gradually turning into straw.

There are observational reality shows, but there are also shows filmed in studios like this. It was then that I really felt, "Wow, they are amazing."

I don't know who to listen to. With my personality, I should just listen when someone speaks, but they keep talking here and there, and it's just so, so hard.

Why are you playing this Taiwan fan meeting video? Ah, it's over.

It's a song I often sing at karaoke.

Most men will probably call. But once you actually get to the performance, you get so nervous and exhausted.

Ah, let's move on. While you were doing the Japanese fan meeting, you're dragging this out again. Ah [groan] People are so nasty. [laughs]

What song should I sing next? Let's get some suggestions or recommendations. Let's sing a lot of songs or sing.

Since I don't like or enjoy listening to songs, I don't really know what songs are out there.

He sits still these days, so why did he suddenly pick me up? It's kind of like this.

But if you look at it this way, it's not much different from now. But I scrolled through my phone album like this [music] and...

If you look closely, they are slightly different, but

Seriously, ah

Well, we're cute too, since we don't really have anything to brag about regarding our cats. A live notification suddenly popped up at night.

Uh, what is this?

[laugh] That swearing doesn't even have any lines, so what's the fastest way to convey the character?

Oh, first off, I was wondering what the best way is to convey [laughs] that he's a weird kid just by saying a word or two.

When I thought about it, swearing in that situation was the best option.

But he wasn't cursing in a scary or anything like that; he was cursing a bit comically like this. This was back when we were filming the very beginning.

Not long after filming started. I don't endure body aches. Ah, I don't endure body aches.

I didn't want to say that line. But people liked it so much that I have nothing to say.

[laugh]

When we were filming this, right from the start, the director said, "Wow, you can't just not hold back and do it."

Why? Oh, what is this? What does "chamji anchi" mean? Who uses such words? Mombaegi?

[laugh]

This is a really difficult tone, you know.

You guys shouldn't just laugh it off [laughs]. You need to say it in a tone where that statement is understandable.

I think I just felt listless and like that. I was just walking because I was walking. Something like that.

I liked the feeling that they weren't walking because they wanted to. I understood this character very well.

Right? Back then, he was kind of like a gangster boss, you know? It feels a bit exaggerated.

The character is a bit more intense and deeply immersed in their own strength, so it was kind of that kind of feeling.

Yeah, just pick one.

But the director told me to do it. He told me to make it look cool like this, so I really brought out the atmosphere. He's such a truly bad person.

Burstride is [Snorting]

I think they'll talk more during the stage greetings than through movie clips.

[laugh]

What is this? Ah, Youn Sook... I called you the other day but you didn't answer [laughs], so I was thinking I should call you the next day, and then...

It's been about ten days now [laughs]. It's because he calls at 11 or 12 so often. Give him a call. Hmm, let's go eat some meat.

Ah, so the first thing I felt when I saw this was that these characters are all really dangerous people.

Uh, but in Lee-kyung's case, although he falls somewhat into the realm of normal crimes, he is a rather pitiable person. He has a mental illness.

He is a somewhat strong person, and someone like Seo Do-hyung is just a flash in the pan for a moment.

It was a mess, a total mess, but honestly, there was nothing I could answer. But at least someone like Seo Do-hyung...

Why is your expression like that even now?

If it's an award, I should accept it with a smile. Damn, to think I'd receive an award like that [sigh]

I think our CEO likes this one more. Hmm. Hello. This is.

Since I'm not very good at expressing myself, how should I thank you? But look at me saying thank you now.

I realized there wouldn't be any. Once I start talking, I get so nervous in places like this that I just lose my mind. Anyway, well, it was so good. So good.

You have to look only to the future. Oh, there is a future. There is a future.

Ah. Ah, this hasn't come out yet. Not yet.

[laugh]

[Snorting] It’s thrilling. Works that feel very much like cartoons—I mean, like shojo manga—kind of give me that feeling. To me.

The tone is a bit thin and not very intense, but the content is funny. It's really intense.

Given the content, will I be able to do another work like this after this one is released? Wouldn't that decision be made right here?

[Snoring] I wonder what those people are like?

There is a slightly unique kind of romance in it. It would be great if it turned out to be a work that people could enjoy. There really were a lot of them.

So it's funny, too. And it's not just me, but the female lead actress Choi Soobin as well...

No, actually, a lot of the supporting actors are really funny. I think the focus will go to that, and we did laugh a lot while filming.

Don't call the past 20 years the highlight 20 years.

Let's make the anniversary about two years.

[laugh] Ah, I think it's too long. I mean, the feeling is like... I have to do that retirement thing [laughs]

It feels like I'm about to have to let go of something. During that period.

I tried my best in my own way, but I do feel like I could have done a little more. There are parts where I feel a sense of regret.

Let's say about 12 years.
