Actor Choi Jin-hyuk‘s pictorial has been released, drawing attention.

‘The Star’ released a pictorial of actor Choi Jin-hyuk with a captivating yet romantic concept through its December 2024 issue (published on November 28). In the released photos, Choi Jin-hyuk captivates attention with his new charms, such as wearing a dandy outfit, lying comfortably on a sofa, and smiling happily.

Choi Jin-hyuk, who is challenging the musical ‘Bloody Love’, said, “I was worried a lot because it was my first time doing a musical. As I practiced, I thought that there was a fresh charm to acting and singing in a new space like the stage, so I thought it was a good challenge”. He continued about the role of Dracula, who lives an immortal life, “I was more drawn to the role of ‘Gu Wol-ryeong’, which I played in the 2013 drama ‘Gu Family Book’. He also said, “I’m immersing myself in the role well because the actors and director who I’m working with are so great.”

When asked if he’s ever wanted to live an immortal life, even in his imagination, Choi Jin Hyuk replied, “If I were the only one who had an immortal life, I think I’d be very sad. I’d have to let everyone around me go,” revealing his daily life completely immersed in his role as “Dracula.”

Choi Jin Hyuk, who is about to have his last fan meeting in Seoul on his Asia tour, said, “It’s such an honor to have the opportunity to meet people who like me as an actor. I’m especially excited because it’s been a while since I’ve had a fan meeting in Korea, and I’m just grateful because I get good energy every time I do a fan meeting.” He then said, “Until now, I only sang ballads at fan meetings, but this time, I’ve prepared a lot of exciting stages,” and asked for a lot of attention.

Choi Jin Hyuk, who is celebrating his 18th debut anniversary, said, “I realize that time has passed so quickly, and I want to be a senior that my juniors are not ashamed of.”

Choi Jin Hyuk, who wants to be an actor that people can trust and watch, chose ‘humility’ as the most important thing in acting. He added, “That‘s because as I went through many experiences, I realized that I am a person with infinite shortcomings. It’s something precious that I want to protect even as time passes and everything changes.”

Lastly, when asked, “Choi Jin Hyuk is OOO,” he concluded by saying, “I want to be a good person. Because I want to be remembered as a good person by everyone.”
