Actor

My goal is to change perception about giving money for charity. A lot of people still think that this is only for the rich. I used to think like this, but this isn't true. Begin by donating the smallest amount you can afford. You'll soon realize how easy it is to support worthy causes.

For many people, the age of 20 is when they first reach adulthood, and it's a time full of ideals and dreams. But when I was 20, a lot of misfortune came along. I spent a year in the hospital and couldn't move, and I was forced to think a lot.

I would like to work with my ideal type, Song Hye Kyo sunbae. Although she has an elegant and classic style, her charisma is also strong, and her acting talent is outstanding. If we act together, I think I could learn a lot from her. But I'd probably be nervous a lot of times.

Kyochon is really my favorite restaurant, and in Korea, Kyochon has 950 branches all over the country. I am really happy to represent a well-loved brand in Korea.

I don't want to limit myself to one genre and want to broaden it, more so in my 30s and 40s.

If I get married in the future, I want to have a relationship like friends with my other half. It'd be best if we can communicate often.

I have to stay positive and try to find time to do what I want to do while working at the same time.

Whether you want to be a good actor or singer, you need to be responsible and professional - and you have to learn to work well with other people and be a team player.

It may be very difficult to keep the virtues of purity, passion, and sacrifice of love in real life.

With acting, the response is usually delayed and takes time, unlike with singing, from where I instantly get fans' response.

I get to act out two roles on 'The Legend of the Blue Sea,' including one as a con man, and so I'll be able to show many diverse sides to me.

I don't have any specific criteria on doing a drama based on where and what country. If I like the storyline, I'll go for it.

I think if I had joined the Army early, I would not have been able to appear in the drama 'Boys over Flowers' and had such a happy 20s.

I love playing online games with my fans.

It's not like I want to be Prince Charming when I do dramas. But I think I've always shown such an image because that's just the way Korean dramas work.

I learned that being considerate helps me in my life and career.

When I meet fans who relate to Korean films and dramas even though they don't understand the language or the culture, and when they talk about studying Korean and traveling to Korea because of those films and dramas, I think to myself that this is the true force of the Hallyu wave.

I'm open to do a Filipino drama if I like the role or if the plot is attractive to me.

No matter where I am, it's all about one thing: My fans.

I'm kind of mischievous with good friends around.
