In an interview, Ahn Hyo Seop reveals his thoughts about “Business Proposal” and “Dr. Romantic 2”.

Recently, Ahn Hyo Seop participated in a photoshoot and interview for Esquire magazine, where he exuded handsomeness in outfits from Louis Vuitton. After the K-drama “Business Proposal”, the actor has become a hot topic in various nations.

Sharing with Esquire, Ahn Hyo Seop revealed he’s a simple person who doesn’t place much thought behind his actions, leading to sometimes confusing the people around him. 

He explained: “I’m straight-forward about my thoughts. If my opinion clashes with others, I’d start a debate without getting offended. I never intend on offending others of course, but there are occasions where some think of that as me complaining.”

Responding to the interviewer’s observation that Ahn Hyo Seop resembles his character Kang Tae Moo in “Business Proposal”, the actor agreed, saying: “I think that’s why people have been saying I look comfortable when playing this role. While there were some cringey lines, partly due to the rom-com genre, I generally feel comfortable saying them.”

When asked about his decision to take on the offer for “Business Proposal”, the actor shared that he decided to join after reading the script for the first 3 episodes. “I didn’t even care about whether the drama would be a success or not, I just knew it would be fun, so I simply enjoyed it and everyone including cast members and the staff enjoyed it too.”

Ahn Hyo Seop then shared about his impression of his co-star in “Business Proposal” – the idol-actress Kim Se Jeong: “She’s kind-hearted and very considerate. I’m cheering for her both as an actress and as a person. Thanks to the bright atmosphere created by Se Jeong and everyone else, I had a great time filming.”

The actor also revealed his feelings when watching works that he acted in. He confessed: “It was difficult for me to watch some scenes. When embarrassing scenes show up, I turned my tablet away at an angle and peeked at it, so that I didn’t have to see too clearly”.

For Ahn Hyo Seop, “Dr. Romantic 2” is the most meaningful project in his acting career.”Of course, every project has its own meaning, but ‘Dr. Romantic 2’ made me feel clearly that acting was the right path for me,” he explained

He then talked about the struggle of using medical terms in Korean while filming for “Dr. Romantic 2”, saying that as he is fluent in English, it was difficult for to pronounce all the English terms using Korean pronunciation. “I have to memorize all the Korean pronunciations. I have to refilm a lot of scenes due to mispronunciation, and had to force myself to change my pronunciation a lot,” he admitted, smiling.

Alongside discussing his famous projects, the 27-year-old actor also shared his thoughts on finding happiness: “I really don’t have any desire to win awards or to be recognized by others. If I try to find happiness in other people’s acceptance, things will start to get messy. I think true happiness is what I need to find within myself.”
