On the afternoon of the 20th, Ire met with Sports Chosun at a certain place in Samcheong-dong, Seoul, and responded to an interview to commemorate the release of the movie 'It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.'"
The movie 'It's okay, it's okay, it's okay" depicts the friendship and growth of friends who learn to dance with 'Nari' (Jeong Soo-bin), who feels a strange inferiority complex to In-young, centering on the main character 'In-young' (Re).
In the movie, Ire plays the main character 'Inyoung', playing a character who emits positive and bright energy.
In this film, Ire, who played a dancing student 'Inyoung', was also burdened with dance practice. "It was difficult to find time while filming the drama. However, I was able to practice in my spare time thanks to the consideration of the choreographer and the director."
He is not a perfect dance character, but a love of dance. So when I was dancing, I focused on making happy expressions rather than techniques."
Especially in the last dance scene, the director's direction was impressive. "The director kept asking me to smile louder" So I gave up smiling pretty and smiled so wide that my eyes disappeared. As time passed, I found out that the director's choice was right."
Ire shows cute chemistry while bickering with Lee Jung-ha in the play. When asked why the two actors' chemistry was naturally smeared, he said "There was a strong feeling that we should do what we normally do even if we didn't put much effort into it.", he explained.
"Actor Lee Jung-ha is also shy, but she came up before me and was considerate. Thanks to this, we became close naturally. The age difference was about eight years old, but it wasn't uncomfortable at all" he said. Also "We got close naturally while reading among ourselves. It seems that the atmosphere was well imbued in the movie as well."
As for Son Seok-gu, who was a special appearance but was very active as a scene stealer in the movie, "Originally scheduled to film for two days, but the window broke on the first day, so I had to finish all the filming in a day.", he explained. But it was easier to shoot because of Son Seok-gu.
He said "I'm very shy, but the senior approached me first and talked to me" and "Thanks to you, I was able to work together naturally on the spot" He was physically tired while filming the drama, but he led the atmosphere well, so the shooting ended safely," he recalled.
Ire, who started as a child and became 20 and an adult in 2025, said he had a new concern.
"It's important to be good at acting, but I think it's time to think about what kind of person I should be," he said. "I'm at an age where I have to find my own answers about what kind of center I should live with."
College life is more fun than I expected. "At first, I was very nervous, and I decided to work harder as I entered the school as a special admission."." But I was able to adapt naturally thanks to the consideration of my seniors.
He took good care of me by saying, `My seniors shouldn't drink alcohol,' and he spent time at a meat restaurant or chicken restaurant with me," he said.
As for the changes I've felt most after turning 20 years old "Now that I can go into a bar?," he said with a smile. "I used to have to go home alone when my seniors had an after party at a bar, but now I feel different because I can be together."
As the film was invited to overseas film festivals, Ire said he experienced a wider world.
He said "I thought it would be great if I could communicate in another language while doing interviews abroad."I want to study foreign languages and try acting abroad in the future." expressed his aspirations.
I also want to experience various things, so I want to travel a lot"I recently went on a trip to Japan with my friend, and it was so nice to spend time with my friend in an unfamiliar place without my parents. I've learned why travel is important."
Finally, Ire shared her concerns about what kind of person she wants to be as an actor.
When I watch movies or dramas, I forget my worries and sympathize with other people's feelings. I want to be that kind of actor"I want to be an actor who is not only good at acting, but also empathizes."."
It is also important to grow up as an actor, but it seems important to be a good person"I want to be an actor who makes his way flexibly, not in a hard line."," he said.
