Actor So Ji-sub spoke about the actors he worked with.

On the afternoon of the 12th, So Ji-sub met with Donga.com for an interview about the Netflix series ‘The Square’ at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul, and talked about the work.

On this day, So Ji-sub said about his senior actors Heo Jun-ho and Ahn Kil-kang, who he worked with in ‘The Square’, “This is my first time working on a project, but Heo Jun-ho has more force.He played a role in the drama with poor health, so I think he actually went on a diet and lost about 20 kg.He told me, ‘Do whatever you want to do,’ which is a great confidence.That part was cool.Ahn Kil-kang likes action.I liked his positive mindset, saying, ‘I can do more.’”

Regarding Gong Myung, who played the opposite role of So Ji-sub in the drama, he said, “It was a shame that we didn’ t have many scenes together.Gong Myung has an image of being innocent, cute, and lovable.But he acted differently, so it was fun for me to watch.I think he also had fun.”



He continued, “In the case of Youngwoo Choo, he prepared a lot, and the director gave him a lot of orders at that time.He quickly changed according to those orders, and he has a good eye for them.His energy to accept them was good.”

Lastly, regarding Lee Jun-hyuk, who appeared as the younger brother in the drama, she praised him, saying, “Jun-hyuk appears briefly, but he is cool and sexy.Even men think he is sexy.I think he did a good job.”

Regarding the fact that he hasn’t been releasing as many works as before, So Ji-sub said, “I don’t think I took a break on purpose.It’s like I’ve been working nonstop, but I think there’s a bit of a break.I put a lot of energy into a project, so I definitely need a break, and I think that’s why I’m doing it.” He added, “I’m still looking at projects, but I think I’m worrying about whether I should do something new or something I’m good at.I’m a bit confused about what’s what.”



So Ji-sub said, “When I look at it myself, I think I can do well in things that suit me, and I think I can do new things because that’s what the viewers and audience want to see,” and “I don’t think I can do romantic comedies anymore.I think it’ll be something like a melodrama,” drawing attention.
