Actor Shin Hyun-bin expressed his feelings about trying out the Rocco genre for the first time.

Shin Hyun-bin met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 3rd and said, `It's late, but I think I'm glad I tried it now.'

Coupang Play series 'Cinderella' (script Oh Eun-ji, director Seo Min-jung and Bae Hee-young), which was first released on the 24th of last month, is an office romantic comedy about the struggles of a hyperrealist capable woman who decides to break up with a perfect chaebol man.

Shin Hyun-bin said "It was fun watching the show, and when I acted, it seemed similar to other works, but there was something else. I think the viewers might have felt a little new while watching it. "There was an endless situation in the work, and I had to move and react, so I split it one by one and acted, and fortunately, I think it was expressed in a fun way."

He then challenged his first Rocco, saying, `I think I'm glad I did it this time. Our work is in the Rocco genre, but there are also many serious polarizing scenes. I think that's why I was able to choose without any pressure. I chose the work because it was a story that a realistic working woman in her 30s would worry about. He also expressed satisfaction, saying, "I felt something new when I saw the points where Rocco's cliché was twisted."

However, there were also concerns when it came to acting. Shin Hyun-bin said "I thought there might be something in my mind from the perspective of those who only watch jerseys." It may feel positive, but it may feel strange and awkward, so I was worried. But if I don't challenge myself now (in the Rocco genre), I don't think I can continue, so I thought it was necessary at this point"I didn't mean to not do Rococo, but I ended up trying late."

Meanwhile, the Coupang Play series 'Cinderella at 2 a.m.' will be released every Saturday and Sunday at 9 p.m. It will be broadcast on Channel A from 9:20 after Coupang Play's release.
