Quotes

[commenting on his character's love confession in Start-Up and on the ending] In the drama, Ji Pyeong confessed his feelings while eating noodles. But I thought to myself that if it had been me, I would probably have confessed a little earlier on than that. It would have been nice if it had worked out, but I actually thought it was a good thing that Ji Pyeong didn't get together with Dal Mi. I've said this before, but I think the right person for him is someone else out there. I don't think Ji Pyeong and Dal Mi were meant to be, and I think Do San and Dal Mi were. Maybe that's why I don't feel disappointed that they didn't get together. I actually liked that Ji Pyeong mustered the courage to let Do San know what direction Dal Mi's heart was facing-and that he stayed true to himself by deciding to remain in the role of helper up until the very end.

[responding to rating how much his real-life personality matched that of his character Han Ji-Pyeong in Start-Up] About 50 percent, I think. I'm not good at saying cold things to other people like Ji Pyeong does, and I don't have a nice car or house in real life. But since I was the one acting, I feel like my true self must have shone through in about half of the character.
