Ahn Hyo Seop On The Success Of "A Business Proposal" + The Kind Of Actor He Wants To Become

Apr 29, 2022

In a recent interview and pictorial for Dazed Korea magazine, Ahn Hyo Seop reflected on his blossoming acting career and his goals for the future!

As Ahn Hyo Seop sat down to chat about his current state of mind, the interviewer pointed out that he had previously posed for Dazed Korea five years ago, back in 2017.

The “A Business Proposal” star recalled with a laugh, “To be honest, I really didn’t know anything back then. What my face looked like, what kind of pose I ought to strike. I was really at the stage of just starting out. But today, I was very comfortable and had a lot of fun during the shoot. I feel like without realizing it, I’m gradually growing and improving in new ways as I keep getting older.”

When asked how he hoped the general public would see him as an actor, Ahn Hyo Seop replied, “An actor they want to see? This is a bit vague, but when I was young, I had the feeling that there were some actors I just liked. Not necessarily because of their looks or because they had a great voice, but because I just liked them, and so I wanted to see the movies or dramas they were in. If I try to explain the reason [why I liked them], it’s a feeling that’s very hard to explain.”

“Although it’s simple, I want to become an actor that people just always want to see,” he continued. “That kind of actor.”

As for the massive success of his latest drama “A Business Proposal,” Ahn Hyo Seop remarked, “I received so much love because of this drama that it’s made me really want to repay all that love. There aren’t that many ways I can repay that love, but I want to create great roles in great projects, so that I can touch viewers’ hearts even more and bring them even more joy.”

In terms of what he has coming up next, Ahn Hyo Seop said cautiously, “It might be a short period of time to some and a long period of time to others, so I can’t tell people to wait. But as everyone goes about living their own lives, I’ll reappear at some point—and I want to tell them that I hope their lives are full of happiness during that time up until [my return].”
