Quotes

“I used to think acting was fun, but now, I really like acting. I think it’s important to protect myself well in order to maintain my feelings of liking [acting] so much that I feel fortunate to be an actor.”

“I hope that my sincerity will be able to reach the people who see the project and that they know that I tried to express [the role] with all my heart.”

“I should have listened to myself above anyone else, but I was too busy listening to what others had to say. I probably did so because I didn’t believe in myself as an actor. I think that showed up in the form of timidity.”

“I’m not competitive. I don’t naturally think that I have to win or have to stand out. I don’t like to think that I have to surpass or beat someone to get to where I want to be. I want to go with the flow, as natural as possible.”

“When I’m with someone who is overly competitive, even with a simple game, I pretend to lose. Of course, there are times I really lose. But even then, I enjoy the process. If I’m good at something, I think that will show when the time comes.”

“Rather than trying to win, I just work hard.”

“I like to cook. I made tteokbokki (stir-fried rice cakes) recently, and it was better than I expected. I think I’m pretty good at getting the taste right. I want to set the table nicely with a tablecloth, instead of just having plates. This might not last long though.”

“My eye shape often makes people judged me to have a cold personality, but if I laugh, it’s different. And actually, I laugh well and play a lot of jokes.”

“When I was young, I was often misunderstood because I was too introverted to express my feelings properly. Then, as I was working as an actor, I realized that it wasn’t difficult to reveal myself little by little. So now I try to be honest.”

“Even if I lack sleep, I am very happy with the hard work I want to do. I used to turn it off as soon as the alarm goes off in the morning, but these days it’s really easy to wake up. Now, I’m not feeling tired because I enjoy this moment.”

“I debuted a little late, but now that I can work as an actor I have to work harder. Every moment right now is so precious.”

“I want to be an actor that people look forward to.”

“I hope there’ll be a moment when people say, ‘I hear Hwang In Yeob is in this. I’m looking forward to it.’”
