"I play the role of a pretty boy intern within the production," he started.  "There are two reasons I thought of for why I should take part in this drama."  As curiosity was sufficiently raised, he continued, "The first reason was the amazing senior actors and director.  I felt the most charm from being able to film with them.

"The other reason is my mother.  My mother's wish was for me to become a doctor, but somehow, I was unable to become a doctor.  To resolve her disappointment, I chose to be in 'D-Day,' which will allow me to act [the part of] a doctor," making everyone burst into laughter.
