Quotes 

“There are multiple reasons why I wanted to join Squid Game. First of all, the subject material was just so intriguing, and the fact that it was a survival game. On top of that, all of the various narratives of the many different characters – their backstories and each of their arcs – were what drew me to the series.”

“I’m always hungry for the stage. Whether it be musical or traditional theater, I’m always willing to go back on stage and I believe I will be doing so in the future.”

“I don’t want to be swept away by this wave [of fame]. I want to follow my own path, to swim in the direction I originally wanted to go like a whale that isn’t bothered by the wave.”

“Like all actors, I also dreamed of becoming a good actor without putting my sole focus on pursuing popularity. That’s why I’m even more grateful for the enormous attention I have received now.”

“I want to be a comfort to someone through my acting and projects and spread the power this culture and art has. Still, since I came out to this sea to become an actor, shouldn’t I go all the way? Slowly, not in a hurry.”
