Yoo Seung-ho met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 8th and said, `I wanted to quickly acknowledge my shortcomings and work hard to show only better performances.'
"Angels in America-Part One: The Millennium is Coming," which ended on the 28th of last month, is the work of Tony Kushner, who created the chaos and fear of the end of the century ahead of the new millennium, which premiered in 1991, into a narrative where reality and fantasy intersect. Set in the United States in the 1980s, it tells the story of five social minorities who suffer from discrimination and confusion with various identities. Yoo Seung-ho showed an unconventional acting transformation by playing Walter, Lewis' lover and an LGBTQ Fryer from the Wasp family.
After casting Angels in America, Yoo Seung-ho talked about the difficulties he felt in preparing for the performance. He "First of all, I felt sorry for the actors of the play and the musical. Some actors wanted to perform this performance, so I thought there might be people who waited for a long time. But to tell you my story, after the first performance, I thought 'I'm glad I didn't get it wrong. It was the first time I had sweaty hands and feet like this because I was so nervous. Even if I thought about it myself, the first performance was too bad. Of course, I didn't use this stage as an opportunity to develop, but I had 29 episodes left, and I thought I should somehow develop and approach the audience in a better way"He confessed.
He also pointed out that he tried to make up for his acting deficiencies. Yoo Seung-ho said, `I watched the performance of actor Son Ho-joon, a double cast member, and I tried to go out earlier and work with the actors once moreFrom the 5th episode, I could enjoy whether the stage was adapted. I wish I could have known this earlier, but I did my best."
Also, regarding the audience's response, "I didn't think they would hate me like this." I thought I just had to work hard and show you a good side of me. I thought it would be forgiven if I acknowledged my shortcomings and tried to show myself more authentic. At that time, regardless of the audience's reaction was painful and sad, I wanted to show a more advanced appearance."
