On October 7 at the�'Cantabile Tomorrow's Media Day event located in the Morning Calming Village in�Cheorwon County, Joo Won revealed that he is so invested in his character from the series, he wants to become a conductor himself.

"If I was born again I want to become a conductor. Even if I can't do it, I want to at least make my children do it," he said, showing his enthusiasm for the profession. He continued, "Although I have learned piano and clarinet in the past, this is my first time conducting.�Conducting is really fun and is a charming career."

He continued to explain his newfound passion, saying, "If I was conducting, I think I would understand what it means to be intoxicated by the music." He elaborated by explaining his experience as a character who conducts, saying, "Although I was conducting while surrounded by teenagers and their instruments, I felt the sound of music in my heart. There's really a charm to it. I definitely want to try it professionally."

Joo Won further revealed just how invested he was into his role as a classical musician by sharing that he stopped listening to other music genres, including K-Pop. "After my casting had been decided, I did not listen to any pop music," he said before explaining, "During the time I could be listening to pop music, I thought I should instead listen to classical music. If I listen to pop music I feel like I'm committing some kind of sin."

He added, "While learning how to conduct I am also studying the circumstances in which composers make their music." He concluded, "I definitely listen [to music] differently than before. This kind of work is all fun," showing that he has completely immersed himself into the world of classical music.�
