The movie “18×2 Beyond Youthful Days,” which was released on the 22nd, is an emotional romance story about a man’s journey to Japan in search of my first love, who he met in Taiwan. Hsu plays the role of “Jimmy,” a man who travels to Japan to meet “Ami,” who was his first love 18 years ago. Rising Japanese star Kiyohara Kaya starred as “Ami,” a woman who met “Jimmy” 18 years ago during a backpack trip to Taiwan.
During the press conference, Hsu said, “I acted as the same character at both 18 and 36 years old,” adding, “I’ve acted similar roles before, so it was a challenge to create different feelings from the previous ones.” Regarding his unique “eye acting,” he replied, “I didn’t prepare anything special and only followed the flow of the scenario.”
Meanwhile, Hsu will appear in “No Way Out: The roulette,” which will be released on the Korean app U+Mobile T in July.

Regarding this role, Greg Hsu said, “I recently appeared in a Korean production,” adding, “II hope I have more opportunities to continue working in Korea.”
When asked what his favorite Korean film is, he said, “I like the work of directors Park Chan-wook and Bong Joon-ho,” adding, “I recently saw a work of actor Son Seok-gu, and it was impressive.”
