He continued, “Some viewers complimented me and some pointed out disappointing parts. I felt so grateful and encouraged by them who have given me so much love when seeing me again after a long time. I tried to accept the comments of people who pointed out the disappointing parts in my acting and think ‘They can feel this way’. It is because what each person feels is subjective. With whatever work or character, I can get either positive or negative responses. However, I’m always thankful that I could challenge and move forward thanks to their various reactions.”
