It's the scene I'm pushing into, but he accepted everything and told me to do more. I kept looking at each picture at the time. To resemble each other. After the first shoot with Song Kang-ho, I was resting in the corner, and my eyes met with him, "Isn't it hard?"' That's what happened.

That was really touching to me. He also said, "I was able to adapt because he invited me to hang out outside the scene."
