Actor Kim Soo-hyun graced the cover of the Korean edition of Esquire.

Actor Kim Soo-hyun, who will soon be making waves as Kim Sung-joon in the Disney+ original series ‘Knockoff’, said on this day, “Honestly, I was nervous because it was my first pictorial shoot in a long time, but the atmosphere on set was so friendly that it helped,” and “I was most worried about my outfit, but I was surprised that they captured the mood so well when I saw it on the monitor.”

He continued by saying that the most memorable scene from one of the best works of last year, ‘Queen of Tears’, was “the scene where senior Kim Jung-nan, who plays Beom-ja, showed up at her grandmother‘s memorial service saying, ‘Beom-ja is here”“ and ”It was probably because most of the actors were there. I mostly remember the scenes where we all got together, because everyone’s ad-libs were so funny that I had to hold back laughter and had so much fun.“

Having successfully performed comedic acting in ‘Queen of Tears’, he recently said, “‘Knock Off’, when it comes to the domestic comedic acting that he loves the most, senior Yoo Jae-myung, who played the father of my character Kim Sung-joon in the play, comes to mind. “I was surprised to see my senior pull off such charming acting no matter what variables arose depending on the on-site situation.””Knock Off’, starring Kim Soo-hyun and Jo Bo-ah, is considered one of the most anticipated Disney+ dramas of 2025. He said, “In terms of the filming schedule, I think we‘ve filmed about halfway through. I can’t tell you everything right now, but I had a special encounter while filming in Hong Kong,” he said, stimulating curiosity.

The February 2025 issue of ‘Esquire’, which includes a pictorial and interview with Kim Soo-hyun, a guaranteed box office hit, is available at bookstores and on the Esquire Korea website.
