Actor Do Kyung-soo revealed that he devoted himself to practicing the piano for the movie ‘Secret That Cannot Be Told’.

‘Secret That Cannot Be Told’, which will be released on the 28th, is a remake of the 2008 Taiwanese movie of the same name starring Jay Chou, and depicts a miraculous romance that begins when Yoo-jun (Do Kyung-soo) and Jung-ah (Won Jin-ah) accidentally meet in a campus practice room where the secret of time is hidden.

Do Kyung-soo, who shows off his splendid piano performance in the movie, said, “To be honest, I was most worried about the piano while preparing for this movie” at the press and distribution preview held at Megabox COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 14th.

He said, “To be honest, I can‘t play the piano at all and I can’t read sheet music. So I was worried about how much I would have to practice to be able to do it (playing the piano in the movie). Still, I practiced songs like ‘Cat Dance’ that appear in the play as much as possible so that the audience could feel like the character Yoo-jun was really playing the piano,” he said. “I also tried to express it by watching the body movements and expressions of a pianist when he plays the piano.”
