What is the first thing you did after you won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor?
It’s a bit embarrassing,
but I kneeled down and prayed.
Hard time while shooting ?
For this hair, I had to give an extra care.
This color is so easy to be washed out, I had to dye my hair every 4days
Do you like the color though?
Yeah, I love it,
but it’s kind of high maintenance.
Did you draw the picture on a resignation in the show?
No, I didn’t draw that.
but I’m sure that was very skillful.
Please show us Goo Hodong saying “Fuck you very much”.
A resignation?
Fuck you very much.
How did you learn Hodong’s accent?
I had a friend from Kyoung Sang do.
He taught me the accent.
Who do you think you are more like, Goo Hodong or Logan Lee?
I would say Hodong.
He is chic and cool.
You wore so many good-looking clothes in , which one did you like the most?
As you can see, I’m wearing a velvet.
There is a scene which I wear a blue velvet.
I liked the color of it.
It’s not too bright but blue enough and I like that.
Compare to Goo Hodong’s blue sweat pants.
Goo Hodong wears an old school fashion.
There is a tv show where Will Smith debuted.
Its name is . We wanted to do an homage.
Any good story while shooting ?
We filmed Hodong’s bike scene and Logan’s bike scene on the same day.
And extras there told me they didn’t realized two characters are the same person.
I’m so proud of myself.
Do you want any other role besides Goo Hodong and Logan Lee?
If I were a bit older than now
and had some more career experience,
I would love to play as Joo Dantae.
It could be very sharp character.
Who is your role model?
Denzel Washington is one
and there is Leonardo DiCaprio. I’ve watched all of his films.
And Muhammad Ali is one too.
I like the way he thinks.
Their interviews gave me so much strength
when I was struggling with opportunities.
What do you want for your birthday?
PS5?
It’s almost impossible to get it right now.
Waiting is really long and there are resellers with crazy price.
Men are men.
What is in Park Eunseok’s bucket-list?
To be on Camino de Santiago.
to travel all around the world.
and want to have a yacht sailing.
I just like to travel where I’ve never been before.
Activity recommendation?
For starter, riding a bike at Han river helps you to have a better stamina and stay in shape.
if you have a car, then you can start with a glamping. There is all the equipment you need. After that,
get your own equipment and go to auto camping site or go on an outdoor camping.
Those are my recommendations.
do you go camping a lot?
Yes, because camping is my self-care.
I’ve been to auto-camping site once but it was too crowded
so I just go outdoors.
The most memorable outdoor site?
One in Inje.
Since Inje is well known for camping,
there were too many people.
So, I was looking for some quite place for about 40 minutes.
Then I ended up in the woods where you can hear wild animals.
I couldn’t get any sleep at all that night. Because I was so scared, I had to keep a hammer in my hand.
I even faced a wild boar. Though it was a little, I was frightened.
You dress very well even when you are not on a tv show. Do you buy clothes by yourself?
Fans sent me clothes when I was in a play.
I usually wear those.
And my parents sent me some clothes from U.S.
and I wear the ones my stylists gave me.
I don’t really go shopping.
And I’m wearing same clothes these days.
What kind?
You know, just normal sweat pants and hoodies with crocs or uggs.
I don’t really wear like this.
Your English is very nice. Do you have a hard time speaking Korean?
‘ㄹ’ with another ‘ㄹ’ under it is very complicated.
For instance ‘이런 일들을’.
So I just change the line.
Favorite weather.
I like Spring the most.
It seems like it’s refreshing everything from the cold.
And the world gets more greens, the sky, and the breeze.
What do you want to be known for?
I want to be known as an honest man, and a freeman.
I have answered your questions.
Hope you all enjoyed.
