HereŌĆÖs the interview Xports News recently had with Lee Hyun Wook about his role in Mine.
Q1. How do you feel now that the drama is over?
We got lucky because the work grabbed a lot of attention and received much love.
Q2. Why did you choose ŌĆśMineŌĆÖ?
It was a great opportunity to work with awesome directors, writers, and colleagues. Plus, I wanted to take the chance because it was a role that could lead the flow of the play.
Q3. Previously, you played a despicable role in ŌĆśShe Would Never KnowŌĆÖ. And here you are with a villain role again in ŌĆśMineŌĆÖ. How did the folks respond to your choice?
I definitely didnŌĆÖt make a pleasant impression. Still, I think the fact that people hated me for my role in Mine, makes it a great show. In the past, I went by the names of characters I played. Nowadays, more people remember my name which I appreciate. All my friends and people around me despise me for my role.
Q4. In the end, Han Ji Yong sheds tears as if he saw his own death coming. What were his thoughts then?
Perhaps even then, he might have blamed the world and people. He would have probably thought to himself, ŌĆ£Why is everyone doing this to me?ŌĆØ It was very tragic.
Q5. How was working with Lee Bo Young and Ok Ja Yeon?
I learned a lot from Lee Bo Young. Her ability to focus instantly and to express emotions amazed me. And I reflected on myself a lot while watching Ja YeonŌĆÖs acting. Her getting right into the core of the role made me rethink the parts that I had missed to grasp fully.
Q6. Any memorable scene?
Many scenes left a lasting memory in me. Probably the scenes in Han Ji YongŌĆÖs office with Seo Hyeon (Kim Seo Hyeong) and Jin Ho (Park Hyuk Kwon) where they finally talk straight are the most memorable.
Q7. Your funny Instagram postings are a hot topic.
I didnŌĆÖt expect it to get so much attention. I just post things when I felt like it, but IŌĆÖm a little surprised that so many fans find them enjoyable. IŌĆÖm glad if you liked them, but I donŌĆÖt think IŌĆÖll be able to use social media solely for that purpose. I will keep posting things whenever things come to my mind.
Q8. What are your plans after Mine?
From the end of July, IŌĆÖll be shooting the Netflix original series Black Bride, so thatŌĆÖll keep me busy. ┬Ā Sources (1, 2, 3) Translator Cho EK: IŌĆÖm a big fan of Korean dramas and movies.
