Go Soo, not ‘Govid’ for nothing “I wish my current appearance hadn‘t changed” [Photoshoot]
Actor Go Soo had a photoshoot with fashion magazine Elle.
The pictorial was inspired by the concept of taking a peek into Go Soo’s office after he returned as a lawyer in the drama ‘Parole Judge Lee Han Shin’, and naturally captured Go Soo‘s signature dandy and witty appearances.
In an interview following the photoshoot, Go Soo expressed his affection for ‘Parole Judge Lee Han Shin’, which first aired on the 18th. He took this opportunity to take a closer look at the job of a “‘parole judge’. Parole is almost the only way for prisoners to be released before their sentences expire, and it is like their last hope and opportunity. I thought it would be good for viewers to take an interest in the stories behind them through this opportunity.”
Regarding the filming site, he said, “It was an important project for us to work together and tell the story. I focused more on working with the actors while thinking about how to make all the characters come to life in various ways. Each actor has a distinct personality, so it was fun to go to the set and meet them.”
When asked if there was anything he wanted to “release” himself, he said, “Life might be meaningless if there were no worries. However, I think I’m past the age where I could talk about them or get caught up in them. My attitude and stance toward worries themselves have changed. Now, I think I should naturally accept them as a part of life.”
Now that he’s been loved for his flexible attitude for over 20 years since his debut as an actor, he said, “I’ve gladly accepted new things and kept things that shouldn’t change. He said, “The way is to strengthen your lower abdomen and enjoy it flexibly.” Regarding the image of himself that he wants to maintain for the rest of his life, he said, “I want to keep the image of myself right now. I also want to show a more grown-up image.”
Go Soo’s pictorial and interview can be found in the December issue of Elle and on the Elle website.
