Kim Jun-seo of group WEi shared a behind-the-scenes story about the drama ‘Secret Between’ (Creator Jung Soo-yoon, Scriptwriter Lee Yoo-jin, Director Yang Kyung-hee).

Kim Jun-seo played the role of Jung Da-on in ‘Secret Between’, the final episode of which was released on the 21st, and led the center of the drama by detailing the inner self of a three-dimensional character.

‘Secret Between’ is based on the popular office BL webtoon of the same name by a McQueen Studio writer, which has ranked first multiple times on Kakao Webtoon Romance Rankings. Kim Jun-seo is said to have shown a high synchronization rate with the original character.

‘Secret Between’ has also topped platforms in many countries, including Korea, Japan, North America, Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia.



● The following is a Q&A with Kim Jun-seo


Q. The full version of your acting debut ‘Secret Love’ has been released. You must have different thoughts on this.


A. Since it was your debut work, you prepared as best you could and worked hard on filming. I was so happy and honored that so many people loved you.


Q. You showed various age groups in the drama, from a high school student, a college student, and an office worker. Was there anything you prepared specifically for this?


A. Since the drama goes back and forth between the past and present, I tried to make differences in the external details as well. When you were a student, the point was your innocent, cute, and gentle appearance, and when you were an office worker, the point was to be a more mature, diligent, and exemplary figure. I wanted to look as similar as possible to the original Daon‘s appearance, so I dieted hard and prepared.



Q. You delicately expressed the emotional line of a character with many wounds. What did you focus on the most when acting?


A. I think I focused on showing the emotions I feel, themselves, through changes in facial expressions. I’m the type who expresses my emotions well through my eyes and facial expressions, so I tried my best to immerse myself in the situation and emotions of the character Daon in order to show a natural appearance.


Q. Since the chemistry with the other actors was important in this project, I‘m curious about how you worked together.


A. All the actors I acted with have extroverted personalities. We ate together before filming and took the time to practice, so I think we became close quickly. In particular, we shared a lot of each other’s thoughts about the work, and we worked together by talking honestly about the concerns that each of us had for each scene.



Q. It must have been very different standing on stage as WEi member Kim Junseo and filming as actor Kim Junseo. What differences did you feel?


A. While singer Kim Junseo mainly communicated directly with fans by showing them the songs and dances that I practiced, actor Kim Junseo seemed to have thought a lot about ‘How can I immerse myself into this character better?‘, ‘How can I express this character better so that he will be loved?’.


Q. What does ‘Secret Between’ mean to Kim Jun-seo?


A. I think it was my debut work that gave me a valuable experience that I will never have again in my life.


Q. Please say a word to the viewers who loved ‘Secret Between’.


A. Thank you so much for watching ‘Secret Between’. I hope you won‘t forget Da-on from ‘Secret Between’ and will always remember him. I will also cherish the love I received from you all. I will continue to show you many wonderful images of myself doing my best as a singer and an actor, so please watch over me prettily. Thank you. And I love you so much.
