He admitted to visiting a dermatologist once in a while.
“I used to not take care of my looks. But now I’m a bit different. I think I should take care of my looks to a certain degree. I used to not even go to the dermatologist for eight, nine months out of laziness, but now I try to go once in a while,” he said.
As to picking “Gangnam 1970” as project, he said, “If I was trying to make more money or had intentions for commercial gains, I might not have chosen this film. But I wanted to show myself moving forward as an actor before I entered by ’30s, and that’s why I chose this movie.”
