How have you been?
I’ve been busy filming a movie,
tv-series,
and having a photoshoot.
It was very busy.
What music did you think of when you saw the concept of a photoshoot?
When I’m getting ready for a photoshoot,
I listen to music that matches the concept.
I was listening to the music of jazz guitarist Justice Der.
Today’s TMI.
I couldn’t stop thinking about what to eat for supper today.
I guess I will have a spicy soup tonight. I want something hot.
Are you gonna cook for yourself?
I’m going to eat out with friends.
What are you into these days?
I’m into ‘Surf Rock’ these days.
I listen to it all the time.
It’s that kind of music played in Quentin Tarantino’s films.
There is a singer ‘Christopher Joseph Isaak’
who modifies the genre into his very own. ‘Justice Der’ is like it too.
What was your nickname when you were a kid?
I didn’t really have a nickname.
German friends just called me by my name.
American friends had a struggle saying my name
so they called me ‘The Chief’.
What makes you so attractive?
I’ve never thought I’m that attractive.
but, I always try to be honest and hard-working.
That must be what made me attractive.
What do you do in your free time?
I think about what to eat or what to listen to and stuff.
Sometimes, I think about my future and ask myself questions
such as ‘How can I make myself outstanding?’
‘What kind of roles should I take?’
and ‘How can I show more of myself to the audience?’.
More likely thinking about what roles would make me show more of myself.
Do you have any active hobbies?
Because Namsan is near my place,
I like going on a hike.
I work out at home these days.
I ride a bicycle,
and work out with kettlebells too.
What would you have for a meal if you could fly over right now?
I’d like to fly over to Germany and have a meal which my mom fixes for me.
This might be a little weird combination, but I want to have ‘schnitzel’, ‘rice’, and ‘kimchi’.
What do you care about the most when you put on clothes?
I care about the color match of what I wear.
And I think about the details recently.
It could be a brooch,
flower pattern,
color match, or a hanger chief.
I don’t know for sure. It depends.
Which hairstyle do you want to try?
I’m thinking about letting it grow or shave my hair off.
I don’t want to do it without any purposes though.
I want to do it for the role.
Do you still look through fans' Instagram stories?
Yes, I do.
It’s more effective to look through and figure out
what my fans like than visiting every individual’s account.
I guess there are thousands of stories to look at.
Only real fans tag regularly.
What do you want to do with your fans after this pandemic is over?
The fan meeting.
Definitely a fan meeting.
Show us your autograph.
Yoo in Korean, and Teo in English.
Reading all day long vs Watching a movie all day long.
Watching a movie all day long.
Going grocery shopping vs Going flower shopping.
Going grocery shopping.
White sweet potato vs Yellow sweet potato.
I like both.
When you are starving, food delivery vs cook for yourself.
When I’m starving, I order food delivery.
Charismatic chic villain vs Sloppy adorable villain.
Sloppy adorable villain.
To turn into a turtle vs Momo turns into a human.
This one’s hard to choose.
Both of them sound very interesting.
I want to have a conversation though to know what
Momo thinks. Momo turns into a human.
What is your philosophy of life?
I have a dream.
I want to have a garden with various trees
and flowers where I can pick fruits out of them.
Which genre do you want to try?
I will do something soft this year.
And I want to try something tough next year.
Were there any roles or films you wanted to be in?
There was a play named “Winter’s Tale”.
That is the story of a king,
who accidently turned his wife to a stone,
trying to get his wife back with the help from people around him.
I cried my eyes out when I saw the play.
I want to try that sort of character.
It’s always about a lover.
What is the similarity with Yoon Jaeho from ?
He is somewhat innocent.
He just likes to hang out with people.
He is a free spirit just like me.
What do you want to tell yourself?
You are doing awesome now.
Keep being sincere to yourself and express yourself as who you are.
