Quotes

“I may earn a lot of money now, but that won’t last forever. It is dangerous to live in such a bubble, so I’m preparing for the future in my own way.”

“[Bulgasal] drama has a fantasy element to it and involves the idea of karma. I actually really like any fantasy works that involve mystical creatures. I really enjoyed watching ‘Sweet Home’ so I have always wanted to try acting in a drama like this, which involves a lot of CGI and monsters.”

“When it comes to ‘Bulgasal,’ I didn’t care about how much airtime I got, I immediately decided to do the drama after I saw my character first appearing in a scene.”

“What I meant to say is that I will concentrate on my acting for awhile, not that I will quit my commitments as a singer. I am not satisfied with my acting right now, so I’m focusing on that. I will try [returning to singing] if I am given the chance.”

“Instead of simply deciding that I wanted to concentrate being an actor, it happened naturally. I’ve always wanted to act since I was in my third year in middle school and I took classes to learn how to act in high school, so I naturally came to this position.”

“If being an actor is like running a marathon, an idol is like running a short-distance race. While idols burn everything on stage for about three minutes, actors show themselves through acting for about an hour.”

“I haven’t had a moment where I wanted to go back to being an idol yet.”
