2AM’s Jinwoon Discusses “Marriage Without Love,” His Dating Style, and Ideal Type with CeCi

2AM’s Jinwoon recently took part in a pictorial and interview for the August issue of CeCi magazine, during which he talked about “Marriage Without Love,” the drama he’s currently starring in, as well as his dating style and ideal type.

Jinwoon—whose drama character, Han Yeo Reum, has been getting involved in a “square romance” with Han Groo, Yeon Woo Jin, and Secret’s Sunhwa in the “Marriage Without Love” storyline—displayed a bright and refreshing appearance for the newly released photo shoot.

In the interview following the photo shoot, Jinwoon described his own dating style as being very different from his character: “Push-and-pull (playing hard to get) is too difficult. I think this [push-and-pull] is something you have to be born with, but I just don’t have the ability by nature. Even when I try to, it doesn’t work. Once I start to like someone, I keep them in my mind and I can’t divert my feelings. I get frustrated and confess to them honestly. I think I need to learn how to push-and-pull in dating through the drama.”

The 2AM member also added, “I can’t accept a free/open relationship. To me, that’s not dating, that’s thinking lightly of the other person. How can you be free/open when you love each other?”

When asked about his ideal type, Jinwoon shared, “I like someone that’s not shy and has a friendly personality—a person who doesn’t speak lightly and is responsible.”

CeCi’s editor, Park So Hyun complimented Jinwoon by saying, “The photo shoot began at 3AM after wrapping up his drama filming and ended at 7AM. He must have been really tired, but he didn’t once express his exhaustion.”

Jinwoon’s charming pictorial and candid interview can be found in CeCi magazine’s August issue, and don’t miss out “Marriage Without Love,” which airs every Friday and Saturday at 8:40 PM (KST) on tvN!
