Q1. How do you feel about achieving a satisfying ending to a beloved show? I enjoyed acting during the whole drama production and will have some long-lasting memory of it. That was also my last drama before enlisting in the military. Double-digit viewership ratings make me happier. I appreciate all my viewers. Q2. What were you attracted by? I had fun with the script. I liked the fact that it portrayed the Korean hero that brings justice. The hero figure was gradually developed in the series. I was happy that the secret royal inspector steadily grew stronger while carrying out his duties. ĀThe fun factor also came from having a new story introduced in each episode of the seriesŌĆÖ run. Q3. What have Sung Yi Gyeom and the drama left to Kim Myung Soo? I was lucky to play the character of the series, Sung Yi Gyeom. All will remain as a good memory for me. Q4.How was chemistry with other cast members Kwon Nara, Lee Yi Kyung, and Lee Tae Hwan? We had undeniable onscreen chemistry and got along. We even burst into laughter joking around with one another on set and it made an NG (an outtake or blooper). I had good chemistry with Kwon Nara, and weŌĆÖre so close. Lee Yi Kyung brilliantly improvised a lot and the staff found it amusing. Thanks to that, I also acted spontaneously in the flow. I had fantastic teamwork with Lee Tae Hwan, and we played half-brothers in the series. It went well when we put action scenes together even without practicing much beforehand. Q5. Your drama ŌĆśWelcomeŌĆÖ did not succeed in attracting TV viewers in the first half of last year. But In the latter half of last year, ŌĆśRoyal Secret AgentŌĆÖ was a beloved series rating over 10%. Ā I am happy that it luckily ended on a good note.
Q6. ĀYou held fan meetings before your military enlistment and released a solo album. Ā I am glad that I could unveil the song as a Āgift Āto my loving Āfans ahead of my enlistment. Q7. ĀPlease share your thoughts on your upcoming enlistment. It would be a lie if I said to be just happy with it. (laughter) All South Korean Āmen Āmust fulfill the Āduty of national defense. I am one of them. I used to have a good impression of the Marines. And nowadays it is no longer true that stars get forgotten by fans once going into the Āmilitary. On contrary, I am looking forward to broadening my horizon through fulfilling military duties. It can end up helping my career in the entertainment industry afterward. I am grateful for the fans Āwho cherished and Āloved me constantly. In the meanwhile, I hope that fans get back to normal life Āroutine after COVID-19. I will see you healthy in 18 months.
