When I was in my 20s I wanted to always challenge myself by trying to play roles that were a bit fierce or even a villain. I was typecast as a proper character most of the time, but with “Yongpal” I finally got my opportunity. Truth be told, I wanted to challenge myself doing this early in my career, but everyone said that I wouldn’t be suitable to play a villain.

“Ever since I was in my 20s I always wanted to play a troublemaker or a street thug. This might be unexpected of me, but I even wanted to play a gangster of some sort. In the future if an opportunity like that comes my way then I want to dress up in my own way and meet the public. Nobody thought of me as a villain in any kind of way but I was glad because people are watching me do this. I think it’s really good for actors that play a role with a bit of character. “
