Quotes 

“I like series with scripts that reflect realistic elements from the real world.”

“Because I debuted while I was in high school, I had to drop out of school. I also lack work experience (outside of acting). That’s why I find emotions coming from acting in various roles to be life lessons. It’s very interesting.”

“I work harder in acting because I want to protect the [idol] tag, not because I want to remove the tag.”

“There are many seniors who are from idol but are building filmography as actors. They say that I was able to enter acting because they paved the way first. It is too grandiose to say that I will succeed in acting, but with such an attitude, I was able to get into acting. I am working on it.”
