Joo Won replied, "At the time, the writer asked the actors who came for the audition, 'Will you be able to play this role well?'  Then, the other actors were a bit hesitant, but I, without hesitating for even a second, replied, 'Yes.'  I think [the writer] looked at that favorably."

It's all about the confidence!
