"Originally, I was very pessimistic when it came to idols stars and acting. Thanks to Goo Hara, many of my preconceptions have been shattered. When I was a rookie, there were many times in which my pride was hurt and I experienced many hardships. I didn't like how it seemed that idol stars who made acting debuts had it easy and didn't go through those experiences. I didn't like how everyone struggles through many auditions in order to obtain a small supporting role, but idol stars seem to obtain those roles easily."

"This is a work that 9 out of 10 opposed. It is a strong work with actions scenes and a strong melodramatic nature. But because I have failed with a melodramatic work in the past, it was hard to take on this challenge. However, I do not worry about whether or not this work will be a big hit. I made my choice according to my heart's prompting... I think I get a more competitive mindset when I hear that things can't do well. 'City Hunter' is a work I chose with a competitive mindset... I am practicing a lot for the acting scenes. It feels good to throw down the tall Lee Min Ho."

"I started after deciding to take on many criticisms. I always had an interest in acting and I wondered how I would start my acting career. I want to show that I'm going to openly take the inevitable criticisms and I'm going to work hard as I get scolded to show improvements. When it come to taking criticisms, I will take them head on. I will try my best."
