The Stronger Yoo Seung-ho
Having gone through many unanswered questions, Yoo Seung Ho grew stronger.
It hasn’t been long since the drama (IANAR) end. How did you spend
your time?
I
live as “real Yoo Seung Ho”. I comeback happily after I finished a satisfying
work.
What kind of person is Yoo Seung Ho?
well, he is a good person anyway, I’ll
say he’s not a bad person (laugh)
What would you
never try to do to be a bad person?
Sometimes we need to make a “white lie”,
but I don’t want to lie. I try (not to lie) as much as possible.
I trust your
words. I heard that you were avoiding the interview since you were a child
because you don’t want to lie.
I don’t want to give an obvious and formal
answer. You know, something like “I enjoyed throughout the filming”. I’d rather
speak my mind honestly than just trying to be polite.
You’re being interviewed actively after finished IANAR.
If I only consider the
result of audience rating which is 3% in average, I wouldn’t take the
interview. The old me would be hide. But everything is good except the audience
rating. The work went well beyond my expectation, and I’m grateful that
everyone (fans and everyone who support IANAR) were being with me. To be
honest, this is the first precious work that I want to cherish. That’s why I
was able to do the interview with more ease
How did you get the courage?
This work was the one that made me to do
that. It may sound selfish if I said “whatever it is, if I feel good, that's it (it’s ok as long as I like it)”, but regardless of the result I realized
that if I like the work I could be strong and get the courage.
What do you like so much about the drama?
My
character (Mingyu) gets hurt while believing in people, and suffers from a disease
called human allergy. I got an impression that Mingyu represents the people who
live in this era (these days). Everyone is hurt by people, but they’re also
healed by the people. “Mingyu who was in pain was healed by the power of love”,
I think I’ve delivered this message pretty well.
It looks like you
feel so much about that.
I’ve just learned that “people are hurt by
the others, but eventually get healed by the others too”. But it doesn’t mean
that I’ve changed so much. I have a good feeling throughout the filming for
about 3-4 months, but it wasn’t long enough to make me changed. I just heal
myself the way I do.
How?
I take a long time to think alone by
myself. I never got the definite answer or solved any problem of mine. I
usually wait with ease, like the words: “time will solve it”
You’ve came so far without any scandal, is it thorough in self-care?
It’s not like that. I don’t
really have anything to do. I would just stay at home or do something alone, if
I’m not working I don’t have anything to do. That’s why it looks like that
(like a self-care so there was no scandal of him)
Unlike many
celebrities who open channels to communicate (with their fans), it seems like
Yoo Seung Ho is only connected with the world when he acts.
That sentence is true. Until
a while ago, when I was working I would put a mask to cover the real me and met
people. Outside, I tried to show different figure from “Yoo Seung Ho”
Why did you do
that?
I’ve been educated a lot since I was a kid.
When I’m filming with older people, I have to be polite and behave. But at some
points I felt like I was lying (being such kind of figure). I wonder how long it will take to show people
the real Yoo Seung Ho. Even if I have a hard time, I want to hide the real me.
These days, viewers like to see who exactly the way people are. I think it would
be okay to show people the real Yoo Seung Ho step by step from now on.
Looking back at
when you were in your teenage period, what kind of advice did you (teenage Yoo
Seung Ho) need the most?
I was so closed to myself. The more I did
it the lonelier I became. Even though it was caused by me, but it’s not so good
to be alone. If I can give an advice to “teenage Yoo Seung Ho” I will say, “You
don’t have to hide yourself too much. You don’t need to do that.”
What kind of
answer do you want to hear from “the future of you”?
I want to know how to share my thoughts
with the others wholeheartedly. I’m used to worry and solve my problems alone.
But sometimes I want to get them out of my chest and share them with someone. I
felt that kind of feeling a lot during this drama (IANAR). It looks like I’m
okay for now, but do I need a friend to share my worries? Does such a person
exist? I was convinced through the drama that “people are the answer in the end”.
After that, the way I share my thoughts with the others become topic and
homework.
Basically, what kinds of person that make you attract to share your
thoughts?
It’s hard to meet someone like that. Other
people can get close to each other easily. But why is it so difficult for me?
How was it to be
together with new people through the work? Is it a different relationship?
The relationship in the works is different. I’ve been in the location (of filming) for a long time,
everyone is experienced so I don’t need to talk too much to get adapted.
When you were a
child, did you expect to still doing this (acting) until now?
I didn’t start acting because I want to. I
only did what I was told. I hoped time would pass quickly. So I’m very ashamed
with the term of “19 years debut actor”. It hasn’t been long since I felt like
I fell into the character and I was living as him. It was from “Ruler: Master
of The Mask”. I think it’s the beginning. So I expect in 10 years. I wonder
what kind of actor I will be if I act sincerely for the next 10 years.
I heard that in the past, you would do the filming if they bought
you lego. Now, whom are you acting for?
Although it was not a dream that I wanted,
but it was a long time ago, as I’m acting I feel the proud and pleasure. I also
learned the charm of profession as an actor. It’s what happened, I decided to
try hard to make me feel happier.
Now that you’re
completely removed from the tag of movie “The Way Home”, how do people feel
when they see Yoo Seung Ho?
Many people used to still see me as a “young
boy” even though I already became an adult. But it doesn’t feel like that
anymore. I just look like an adult actor in my mid-twenties, an actor with a
lot of potentials.
What is your ambition as an actor?
I want to destroy
everything with my acting (laugh). I think the actor looks the most awesome
when they can act well. I'm brighter than anyone else for that moment.
When do you think that you look the most awesome outside the camera?
When I don’t speak and just
stay still. My friends told me, “You look cool/ awesome if you stay quiet”. I
heard a lot about that.
Looking at your
work, it seems like you to want to break through difficult characters and
genres. Do you usually enjoy new attempts and challenges?
I want to. But it’s always hard to do that.
Because whenever I start a new work, I will meet new people. I really want to
do that, but even if I love my work I’m afraid of getting close to people.
What do you want to do?
There are many things that
I want to do. Skin scuba, skydiving, surfing. I wanted to have an active and
physical hobby since I was a child.What do you do when you want to release your energy?
I drive. When I finished filming Ruler: Master of The Mask, I felt empty and I think I should have a hobby. I started racing in the circuit because I only like car. I feel most comfortable and happy when I'm in the car. Because it's my place and I can go anywhere with it. When I feel frustrated with my work, I go for a drive or spend my time in the car.
Was there
something special that made you like cars?
Since kindergarten I liked cars for no
reason. The car itself looked cool. They sold a mini car toys at the market,
but my mother couldn't afford to buy them. So it still in my mind, and when I became and adult and settled down, my mom apologized for not being able to buy a mini-car and allowed me to do anything about it (car).
I’m curious about
your playlist when you are driving.
DJ Allan Walker, J.Fla (a musician on
youtube), I also listen to (IANAR) OST. Especially even when the drama is over,
if I like the lyrics, I listen to the OST when I want to spend my time quietly.
Have you ever
been on a road trip?
Not yet. If I have a chance, I'd like to
travel across America by car. Route 66? There's a very long road. I'm okay with
boredom, so I'll drive until I get bored along the road.If you fall in love and live with the car, you won’t be popular among the woman.
I can give up that popularity. From my childhood to my present day, cars make me excited. I always think, “do I have any drive plans today?”. I'm thinking of staying in the car for a while until the next day.
